How you get paid
Hourly (platform-set)
Worker costs
No upfront cost found — we searched their landing page and signup flow (the site publishes no pricing/FAQ subtree) on 2026-08-25 and found no upfront-cost language. Not a guarantee of free.
The rating of the app workers use — never the customer app. Each store is its own witness; we show both and never average them. The count is what makes a score mean something. Click a listing to see the number as it stands today.
One app serves both workers and customers here, so this rating blends both populations.

mktcle-reclass (owner ruling 2026-08-26): STRUCTURALLY UNSOURCEABLE from provider property — companies do not state their metro lists, so no re-fetch can ever pay this claim. Reclassified out of the owed pile into the declared class: derived from our own coverage research, not from the company's words.
