Djobzy is a location-based work and services marketplace with live-map discovery, where the same person can hire help or offer services, local or remote. TaskRabbit is a marketplace where clients hire vetted Taskers for hourly in-person tasks — everything from IKEA assembly to moving to yard work.
They look similar on the surface: both connect people who need help with people who can do it locally. Underneath, the fee model, the scope of what you can do on the platform, and how you’re discovered are all different. Here’s the fact-by-fact version.

Djobzy vs TaskRabbit: side by side
Ten dimensions, no winner declared. Sources are numbered and listed at the end.
Marketplace type
Djobzy
Location-based work and services marketplace with live-map discovery.
TaskRabbit
Peer-to-peer marketplace where clients hire Taskers by the hour for in-person tasks. Owned by IKEA’s parent company since 2017.1
Scope
Djobzy
Local and remote work. One user can both hire and offer services through the same marketplace — jobs, services, freelance, and shift work.
TaskRabbit
Local, in-person tasks only — IKEA assembly, moving, cleaning, handyman, yard work, errands. Around 100+ task categories. Client and Tasker are separate account types.2
What the worker pays
Djobzy
Zero commission
Workers keep 100% of the agreed worker price.
TaskRabbit
$25 registration, then 0%
A one-time registration fee (reported at $25 in independent reviews, though TaskRabbit’s own materials describe it more generally). No commission on earnings after that — Taskers keep 100% of the hourly rate they set, plus 100% of tips.3
What the client or employer pays
Djobzy
15% platform fee
Charged on top of the agreed price and visible before you confirm. Current pricing is published at djobzy.com.
TaskRabbit
Service fee + Trust & Support fee
TaskRabbit charges clients a service fee calculated as a percentage of the Tasker’s hourly rate, plus a separate Trust & Support fee also calculated as a percentage of the rate. Third-party reporting places the service fee around 15% and the Trust & Support fee around 7.5%, though TaskRabbit’s own help pages don’t state the percentages publicly.4
California and Massachusetts show a single combined service fee only, following state law.
Payment protection
Djobzy
Payment is held in escrow until the job is completed. Workers are paid on completion; clients are protected until then.
TaskRabbit
Clients book and pay through the platform; Taskers are paid via direct deposit approximately 24 hours after task completion.
The Happiness Pledge covers clients for up to $10,000 in property damage from a task, secondary to any existing insurance, and claims must be reported within 30 days.5
How people find each other
Djobzy
Live map. Active globally, with Vancouver and Toronto as current focus markets.
TaskRabbit
Category-based search inside the app. Clients pick a category, see available Taskers with reviews and hourly rates, and book. Taskers can only accept work offered to them — no bidding, no cold outreach to clients.6
Verification
Djobzy
Seven levels: email, phone, social, address, government ID, payment card, and interview plus third-party background check.
A trust signal, not a guarantee of safety, character or competence. Criminal record checks are not part of standard verification — employers should do their own due diligence.
TaskRabbit
All U.S. Taskers pass an identity check and criminal background check against national, local, and sex offender databases. Requires U.S. Social Security number to register.7
Reputation portability
Djobzy
Career Passport — a portable professional record carrying reputation, reviews, experience and work history across locations and opportunities.
TaskRabbit
Reviews and ratings live on the Tasker profile. No public statement found describing reputation as portable off-platform. Elite Tasker status recognises top performers with priority visibility.8
Repeat work
Djobzy
Employers can hire directly without going through a staffing agency, and build a trusted list over time. Suitable for ongoing work, not just one-off tasks.
TaskRabbit
Clients can rebook a favourite Tasker. IKEA assembly and similar categories generate steady repeat work for Elite Taskers.9
Where it works
Djobzy
Live map active globally and usable in any location. Vancouver and Toronto are the confirmed focus markets.
TaskRabbit
United States (reported as all 50 states as of 2025), United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, and Portugal.10
What the client actually pays
Djobzy’s client fee is a flat 15% on the agreed price, visible before you confirm. TaskRabbit’s client-side fees combine a service fee and a Trust & Support fee — independent 2026 reporting places the combined figure at approximately 22.5% of the Tasker’s rate, though the exact percentages aren’t published on TaskRabbit’s own pages.

TaskRabbit’s own help pages don’t state the percentages publicly. California and Massachusetts use a single combined service fee only, following state law — the exact rate may differ there.

Which situation fits which platform
TaskRabbit may fit better if
You need one-off in-person help — IKEA assembly, a move, hanging shelves, yard cleanup — and you want the platform to have already vetted the person coming to your door. Or you're a Tasker in a major U.S. metro area with steady demand who's built up review history there already.
Djobzy may fit better if
You do work outside TaskRabbit's task categories — skilled trades, hospitality, event shifts, healthcare, professional services, or remote/digital work — and want one profile that covers both local and remote. Or you're looking for ongoing hiring rather than one-off tasks, and want a reputation record (Career Passport) that travels with you rather than staying locked to one app.
The scope overlap is smaller than it looks
TaskRabbit is focused on around 100 in-person task categories. Djobzy covers those plus jobs, ongoing services, freelance and remote work — so for many users, they're not either/or; they solve different needs.
