Encryption

Hardened security

Trust is everything in a local services marketplace. Conversations and personal data stay protected — every step of the way.

Private messaging

You never need to share a personal phone number or email to connect.

Profile moderation

Listings go through moderation to keep the marketplace trustworthy.

Encrypted in transit

All communications are encrypted between your device and our servers.

Data minimization

We only collect what's needed. We never sell your data to advertisers.

Pricing

Simple, fair pricing

No subscriptions, no hidden fees. Clients use Kleo for free — providers pay only when they gain a new client connection.

Kleo pricing overview
How it's calculated

Lead-based, not subscription-based

Instead of a flat monthly fee, providers pay a small amount only when a new client actually reaches out. No leads, no charge — so your cost always tracks your growth, never runs ahead of it.
