Now in Oakland, Berkeley, & San Francisco

Your neighbors are here for you.

Wello is a community where neighbors exchange everyday help — not for money, but for credits that keep the goodwill flowing.

How Wello works

01

Post what you need

Ask for a ride, some help moving, a language lesson — anything a neighbor might offer.

02

A neighbor responds

Someone nearby sees your request and offers to help. You can see their history and what neighbors say about them.

You have 12 hours to accept or decline before the request expires.

03

Exchange and grow

Help flows, credits move, and your neighborhood gets a little stronger.

A moderator is available if anything feels off.

04

Confirm together, credits settle

After the task, both of you confirm it went well and credits settle within 12 hours. If the scope changed, either party can propose an adjustment — if you can't agree, a community moderator steps in.

What are credits?

Credits are tokens of reciprocity. Credits can't be bought or sold; they are freely earned and given. When you help a neighbor, you earn credits. When you need help, you spend them. One person's effort is worth the same as anyone else's — there's no hourly rate, no tipping, no billing.

Real names, verified phone numbers
Written notes from neighbors, not reviews
In-app chat before any commitment
Community moderators resolve disputes fairly
Report or block anyone, at any time

How credits work

Credits keep things balanced, not banked.

Keep the support flowing. Credits don't accumulate forever — once you've given a lot, you'll be nudged to receive. And you can start receiving before you've given anything.

Start receiving right away

You don't have to earn your first help. New members can make requests from day one.

Giving too much? We'll notice.

When your credit balance climbs high, Wello gently nudges you to let others help you too.

Credits flow, they don't pile up

The goal is reciprocity, not a balance sheet. Every credit spent keeps the neighborhood moving.
