How It Works

From posting to payment — every step is protected.

Taskvault uses escrow to hold your payment securely until the work is done. No prepaying strangers. No unpaid jobs. Just safe, fair service — for both sides.

01

Post your job for free

Describe what you need — lawn mowing, furniture assembly, snow removal, a deep clean. Set your budget range and the date you need it done. Posting takes under two minutes and costs nothing.

  • ✓ No account required to browse available taskers
  • ✓ Set your own budget — no minimum spend
  • ✓ Jobs visible to verified local taskers immediately
02

Browse offers from local taskers

Verified local taskers see your job and send offers. You receive their proposed price, availability, and profile information — but their full identity stays private until you decide to accept. No pressure. No obligation.

  • ✓ See ratings, reviews, and completion history
  • ✓ Tasker identity revealed only after you accept
  • ✓ Decline any offer at no cost
03

Accept an offer — details revealed

When you accept an offer, both parties exchange contact details through the platform. You can message your tasker, confirm logistics, and agree on specifics before any money moves.

  • ✓ Secure in-app messaging before commitment
  • ✓ Confirm job scope and schedule together
  • ✓ Either party can cancel before escrow is funded
04

Pay into escrow — funds locked safe

Before any work begins, you fund the job through Taskvault's escrow. Your payment is held securely — the tasker sees the funds are confirmed and ready, so they show up knowing they'll be paid. You're protected because money doesn't move until you say so.

  • ✓ Funds held by Taskvault — not the tasker
  • ✓ Full refund if job is cancelled or not completed
  • ✓ Tasker motivated — confirmed payment awaits them
05

Confirm the work — payment released

Once the job is done and you're satisfied, tap Confirm. Payment goes directly to your tasker in full. If there's a problem, open a dispute — our team steps in, reviews the evidence, and resolves it fairly. No automated releases. No runaround.

  • ✓ You control when payment is released
  • ✓ Rate your tasker — builds community trust
  • ✓ Human dispute resolution — payments frozen during review

Transparent pricing

Clients pay a flat 5% escrow fee on completion. Taskers keep 100% — no lead fees, no hidden cuts, no monthly charges.

Anonymity by default

Your full identity stays private until both parties agree to the job. Only then are contact details exchanged — through our platform, not publicly.

Human dispute resolution

If something goes wrong, a real Taskvault team member reviews the case. Payments are frozen during any open dispute — automatically.
