Malaysian home-services marketplace where customers get quotes from vetted pros

Recommend.my is run by RecomN Technologies Sdn Bhd of Petaling Jaya, which says it started in 2014 and also runs Sejasa.com in Indonesia. Customers post a request and receive quotes (up to five for complex projects) or book fixed-price services, across categories such as renovation, electrical, aircon, cleaning and repairs. Its homepage cites 10,000 vendors and 200,000 customers served.

Pros

+ Pros pay a lead fee only when a customer exchanges contact details, per Recommend.my
+ Vetting checks SSM registration, owner ID and, for renovation work, CIDB certification
+ Customers paying online get protection up to RM100,000, which can reassure buyers
+ Payouts for online-paid jobs in 1-2 business days

Cons

− Lead fee and commission rates are not published
− Commission is charged on completed jobs on top of lead fees
− Complex jobs go to up to five quoting pros, so price competition is direct
