Traditional directories sell top spots. We built an authentic merit engine.
Compare how practice visibility works on traditional pay-to-win platforms versus Vastoco's merit-based ecosystem.
Traditional Lead Brokers
Pay-per-lead & sponsored auctions
- Top rankings bought by ad budgets: Practices with big marketing budgets buy top spots regardless of design merit or response quality.
- Unverified shared leads: Same inquiry sold to 5-10 practices simultaneously, causing aggressive price-cutting bidding wars.
- 15%–30% Commission cuts: Lead platforms charge heavy commission cuts on consultation and design fees.
- No COA License Verification: Unqualified individuals list as "Architects" without registration, devaluing professional practices.
Vastoco Merit Marketplace
Merit-ranked & direct bookings
- 100% Merit-Based Search Algorithm: Rankings are calculated transparently using verification level, response time, rating, and completed projects.
- Direct Consultation Requests with 6-Digit PIN: Clients book you directly with a preferred date and show a 6-digit meeting code during the consultation.
- 0% Commission Cut on Design Fees: Keep 100% of your consultation and project fees. We operate on transparent flat subscription tiers.
- COA & Legal Title Compliance: Verified COA architects get exclusive "COA Registered Architect" badging under Section 36 of the Architects Act, 1972.
