TaskRabbit

An app where clients book an individual Tasker by the hour for assembly, mounting, moving help, cleaning, minor repairs and similar tasks.

  • How pros pay: one-time registration fee; platform fees are charged to clients, not Taskers
  • Free profile: No
  • How customers choose: customer picks one Tasker
  • Taskers pay a one-time, non-refundable registration fee; TaskRabbit says all other fees are charged to clients.
  • Plumbing and electrical are listed as 'help' categories; TaskRabbit's task-types page says nothing about licensing for them.

Is TaskRabbit worth it?

It depends on how you pay and how leads are shared. TaskRabbit: one-time registration fee; platform fees are charged to clients, not Taskers; customer picks one Tasker.

Try it for a set period, write down what you spent and how many jobs you booked from it, and keep it only if the cost per booked job beats your other sources.
