Understanding Quotes & Pricing
How quotes work, what affects pricing, and how to compare offers.
How Pricing Works on TaskNation
Pricing on TaskNation is transparent. Here's what you need to know:
Types of pricing
- Fixed quotes — The pro gives you a specific price for the entire job. This is common for well-defined projects like TV mounting or house cleaning.
- Hourly rates — Some services are priced by the hour. The pro will estimate how long the job will take.
- "Starting at" prices — These are estimates. The final price is confirmed after the pro understands your specific needs.
What affects pricing?
- Scope and complexity of the project
- Materials needed
- Your location
- Time of year / demand
- Pro's experience and rating
Comparing quotes
When comparing quotes, don't just look at the price. Consider:
- What's included in the quote (materials, cleanup, warranty)
- The pro's ratings and number of reviews
- Their response time and communication
- Years of experience and credentials
Important: Always confirm the final price with your pro before work begins. The initial quote may change based on the actual scope of work discovered on-site.
