Fees & payouts, in plain English
No surprises. Posting a job is always free, workers pay $1 per bid, and money only moves when a job is won — and it's held safely until the work is confirmed complete.
Posting a job
Free
Clients never pay to post. Your card is authorized at posting and charged only when the auction ends.
Winning a job (client)
2.9% + $0.30
Standard card processing added to the winning bid at checkout. Held by us until you confirm completion.
Getting paid (worker)
10% platform fee
You keep 90% of every dollar — your winning bid minus the platform fee, paid out after the client confirms the work.
Job Insurance (optional)
10% of the bid
Up to $10,000 coverage against accidental damage, theft or injury on the job site. Available to clients and contractors.
