Clients can post tasks like cleaning, furniture assembly, and home repairs, while Taskers bid on these jobs, offering competitive rates. Taskrabbit earns revenue by charging a service fee on each completed task, which aligns its success with client and Tasker satisfaction. The platform is accessible through a website and mobile app, emphasizing same-day service for those needing immediate help. Taskrabbit also has a "Happiness Pledge" to ensure customer satisfaction, making it a reliable choice in the growing home services market.
