Neighbr
- No fees for either side
- Your exact address stays private
- No cold messages from strangers
- Fewer helpers than TaskRabbit in most areas
- Payment is up to you, with no built-in protection
Neighbr is for small jobs: a jump-start, a couch to carry, a dog walk. You say what you need and what it's worth, neighbours nearby offer, and you pick who helps. A private chat only opens once you choose someone, and your exact address is only shared with that person. There are no fees, though that also means no payment protection, and how useful it is depends on how many neighbours use it.
