How Taskers Assess Your Job

Types of Responses You May Receive
Direct Quote
If your task is clear and straightforward, a tasker may send you a price estimate straight away. This could be a fixed price, an hourly rate, or a cost based on typical job requirements.
Request for More Information or Expression of Interest
