{{ _BRAND }} VS. TASKRABBIT
TaskRabbit handles furniture assembly and errands. {{ _brand }} is built for licensed professionals, HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, roofers, who quote jobs, not hourly rates, and need consistent pipeline, not gig apps.
Your trade is not a side hustle
TaskRabbit's hourly rate model made sense for moving boxes. It doesn't work for an HVAC company that needs to inspect, diagnose, and quote before naming a number. {{ _brand }} sends you job briefs with a benchmark price range already computed, so you show up as the professional you are.
3 slots. Never 15.
Your win rate stays at 33%.
| Feature | TaskRabbit | {{ _brand }} |
|---|---|---|
| Service scope | Gig tasks (handyman, errands) | ✓ Full trades (HVAC, plumbing, electric, roofing) |
| Pricing model | Hourly rate set publicly | ✓ You set your own quote |
| Platform commission | 15% of every job | ✓ $50 flat on claimed lead |
| Quote process | Accept task at listed rate | ✓ AI brief → private quote → negotiate |
| Geography | Metro cities only | ✓ All 50 states, zip+radius matching |
| CRM integration | None | ✓ Auto-creates CRM contact on claim |
15% is a lot of every job
On TaskRabbit, a $1,000 HVAC service costs you $150 off the top, forever, on every job, with no cap. {{ _brand }} charges $50 once per claimed lead, regardless of the job size. A $5,000 roofing contract still costs you $50.
You should set the price
TaskRabbit requires you to publicly post your hourly rate before knowing the job scope. {{ _brand }} sends you a full job brief with customer photos and an AI benchmark range, so you quote accurately, not blindly.
Not just metros
TaskRabbit operates in select major cities. {{ _brand }}'s spatial radius matching works in mid-market and suburban cities where TaskRabbit doesn't operate, and if local providers aren't available, statewide fallback ensures leads still reach you.

No. {{ _brand }} sends you a job description and AI-estimated price range. You respond with your actual quote through the private messaging hub, no public rate card, no bidding war on price before you've seen the job.
Currently: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, cleaning, moving, and handyman. Additional categories are added as provider supply grows in each market.
Per claimed lead. If you unlock contact info and the homeowner already hired someone, you dispute and pay nothing. If you close the job, you pay $50 once, no percentage, no monthly fee on free plan.
