You set the budget.
Helpers earn every dollar of it.
Post what you need done. Get real quotes from local Helpers. Pick the one that's right for you — with zero platform fees, ever.
No spam. Just one email when we launch in your area.
Other apps set the price. We let you talk it out.
Most service apps quote you a number and call it final. Friendly Request flips that — your budget, their quote, a real conversation in between.
😤 How it usually goes
The fixed-price model
- ✕ Platform sets the price — you just accept it
- ✕ Hidden fees and surcharges added at checkout
- ✕ Helpers lose 15–30% of every job to commission
- ✕ No room to negotiate, even for simple jobs
🙂 How Friendly Request works
The bid-based model
- ✓ You post a budget — Helpers compete for the job
- ✓ No platform commission, ever — 100% goes to the Helper
- ✓ Built-in negotiation before you commit to anyone
- ✓ Your contact info stays private until you accept
Four steps. Zero surprises.
