only when you're paid
Many platforms charge for leads before you've earned a cent. ZapTasks never does — if you don't get paid, neither do we.
Start earning in three steps
For people who want to earn on their own terms — no boss, no schedule but yours.
Create your free profile
Sign up and connect your bank once through Stripe. No subscription, no signup fee — it costs nothing until you earn.
Browse jobs near you
See what neighbours are posting — snow, lawns, cleaning, odd jobs. Apply with your own price. No quotas, no minimum hours.
Do the work, get paid
The poster's card is pre-authorized before you start. When they confirm it's done, your payout goes straight to your bank.
The kind of work neighbours post
Everyday jobs that don't need a truck roll from a big company — just someone nearby who's willing.
Need something done instead?
Post it free and get offers from real people nearby — you're only charged after you confirm the job is done.
Describe the job
A few sentences and a photo. Takes about two minutes.
Pick your helper
Local helpers apply with their price. Check reviews and chat before you decide.
Pay only when it's done
Your card is pre-authorized when you hire and charged only after you confirm the job is complete.
Built so nobody gets burned
No fine print, no surprises — here's exactly how we keep both sides safe.
Payment secured up front
The poster's card is pre-authorized before work starts and charged only when the job is confirmed done.
Reviews on every job
Both sides rate each completed job, so good work builds a visible reputation.
In-app chat
All communication stays in one place, so there's a record if anything's ever in dispute.
Payouts by Stripe
Payments and bank payouts run on Stripe — we never see or store card numbers.
Questions people ask before joining
What does it cost to join as a helper?+
Nothing. There's no signup fee, no subscription, and no charge to apply for jobs. ZapTasks takes 10% of a job only when you actually get paid, and standard card-processing fees apply to the payment.
How and when do I get paid?+
The job poster's card is pre-authorized before you start work. Once they confirm the job is complete, the card is charged and your payout is sent to your bank through Stripe. Your first payout can take a few extra days while Stripe verifies your account.
Do I need to be a licensed professional?+
No — most jobs are everyday tasks like shovelling, mowing, cleaning, and assembling furniture. Only take on work you're qualified to do; regulated trades like electrical and gas work should be left to licensed professionals.
How do I know I'll actually get paid for a job?+
The poster's card is pre-authorized when they hire you, so the money is confirmed before you pick up a shovel. It's charged and paid out when they confirm the job is done.
I'm posting a job — when am I charged?+
Your card is pre-authorized when you hire a helper, but only charged after you confirm the work is complete. If something goes wrong, our support team is a message away.
Where is ZapTasks available?+
Anywhere in Canada. We're growing neighbourhood by neighbourhood, so job volume varies by area — posting a job or creating a helper profile is exactly what kick-starts yours.
