Oferteo is a reverse marketplace operated by Oferteo S.A. from Wroclaw, which says it has run since 2008.

The regulations in force since 20 August 2026 name Oferteo S.A. as administrator and list its national court register entry.
The price of a request in points depends on industry, size and location, so a house build costs more points than a small task. Oferteo claims about 900 categories, 750,000 contractors and 150,000 new requests a month, and the first package carries a 45-day satisfaction guarantee. Package prices render through script and were not captured, and hosting is not stated.
