You can find clients in chats by hand. The question is whose time it takes
Searching by hand is free and the safest option for your account, and we won't pretend otherwise. But every person you find costs you reading time, and you have to reply while they're still choosing.

By hand is better while requests are few
Search by hand if
- you're only checking whether people in your line of business ask at all
- there are so few requests that you can read them all yourself
- your clients ask where we aren't: not on Threads or Telegram
- paying for a service isn't an option right now
Go with zapyt.io if
- there are more requests than you have time to read
- you often spot a question after the person has already picked someone else
- you want a ready reply, but want the decision to stay yours
By hand wins on price and risk. It loses on time
We compare what each approach takes from you and what it gives back. Where doing it by hand is better, we say so.
