Questions, answered.
Is Taskly safer than hiring someone on Kijiji or Facebook?
Taskly adds protection those don’t have: every Tasker is reviewed and approved, your money is held by Taskly until the job’s done, calls are masked, and there’s a dispute process on Taskly if something goes wrong.
Does Taskly cost more than a Kijiji cash deal?
You agree a fixed price up front and only release payment when the job’s done, with your money held by Taskly the whole way — the protection is built in rather than a cash-deal gamble.
