Djobzy is a location-based work and services marketplace with live-map discovery where workers keep 100% of the agreed price. Airtasker is an Australian-founded task marketplace (now also operating in the U.S. and U.K.) where customers post jobs, Taskers submit offers, and Airtasker takes a tiered service fee from the winning Tasker.
The two platforms overlap in what they help with — local, in-person tasks, jobs and services. They differ in how Taskers get paid, how customers discover providers, and what one profile actually covers. Here’s the fact-by-fact comparison.

Marketplace type
Djobzy

Scope
Djobzy
Local and remote work. Jobs, services, freelance and shift work — one profile covers all of it, and one user can both hire and offer.
Airtasker
Local, in-person tasks — cleaning, handyman, removals, gardening, delivery, admin, plus some professional services. Customer and Tasker are separate account types.2
What the worker or Tasker pays
Djobzy
Zero commission
Workers keep 100% of the agreed worker price.
Airtasker
~10–20% tiered fee
Service fee applies only when you win a task. The rate is tiered: new or low-volume Taskers typically pay 20%, dropping to 10–15% at higher tiers. Independent 2026 sources describe this as a mix of Tasker-tier and membership-plan discounts (Free ~20%, Plus and Pro at lower rates in some markets).3
Fee is applied to the task price plus tax. No monthly subscription is required to make offers on the free tier.
What the customer 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.
Airtasker
Connection fee
A one-time connection fee is charged to the customer when they assign a Tasker — from about $4.90 for small tasks up to $49.50 for larger ones. Shown as a line item before assignment.4
Payment protection
Djobzy
Payment is held in escrow until the job is completed. Workers are paid on completion; clients are protected until then.
Airtasker
Airtasker Pay holds customer funds in escrow from the moment a task is assigned; the Tasker is paid once the customer marks the task complete.
In Australia, eligible tasks are also covered by Airtasker Insurance (via Chubb) for public liability up to $10 million, subject to terms.5
How people find each other
Djobzy
Live map with active listings and provider profiles visible by location. Providers can be discovered directly, not only in response to a posted job.
Airtasker
Open bidding. Customers post a task; multiple Taskers submit offers with price, questions and profile. Customers compare offers side-by-side and pick. Speed of response and reputation are the reported main drivers of winning tasks.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.
Airtasker
Identity verification is required, and Airtasker offers optional badges (police check, professional licenses in some categories). Ratings and reviews accumulate on the Tasker profile.7
Reputation portability
Djobzy
Career Passport — a portable professional record carrying reputation, reviews, experience and work history across locations and opportunities.
Airtasker
Reviews and ratings live on the Airtasker profile. No public statement found describing reputation as portable off-platform.8
Repeat work
Djobzy
Employers can build a trusted list over time and re-hire directly. Providers keep a portable Career Passport that grows with each engagement.
Airtasker
Customers can rebook a favourite Tasker directly. Airtasker’s terms discourage moving contact and payment off-platform.9
Where it works
Djobzy
Live map active globally and usable in any location. Vancouver and Toronto are the confirmed focus markets.
Airtasker
Australia (largest market), United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, and Singapore.10

Note: Airtasker’s Tasker service fee sits within a roughly 10–20% band depending on your tier or plan, based on independent 2026 reporting and Airtasker’s own materials. The customer also pays a separate connection fee that doesn’t come from your earnings but affects their perception of the total price.

Which situation fits which platform
Airtasker may fit better if
You're in Australia (its strongest market), you're willing to compete on offer-based bidding, and you've built up enough tier or reviews for the fee to sit at the lower end of the band. Or you're a customer who wants to see multiple offers side-by-side before committing.
Djobzy may fit better if
You want to keep 100% of what you agree with a customer, or you'd rather be discovered directly on a live map instead of competing on an offer thread. Djobzy also covers remote work and broader job types — not just local task-style hires.
Two different pricing dynamics
Airtasker's open-bidding model tends to push prices down through competition. Djobzy's direct-discovery model puts pricing on the worker's side of the table — you post what you charge; clients see it before contacting.
Keep 100% of what you agree
Discovery on a live map, no offer wars.
Workers pay zero commission. Employers pay a 15% platform fee, visible before you confirm.
