ASAP is the same-day local help marketplace for small neighborhood jobs — verified helpers, held payments, and no bidding wars.
Everyone has that moment when something small needs doing — moving a couch, walking a dog, clearing yard waste — and there’s no easy way to find someone nearby who’s willing and available.
ASAP was built for that moment. Post a job, get matched with a verified helper, and pay a fair price with transparent fees. No bidding wars. No corporate contractor markup. No wondering whether the person who shows up is who they say they are.
Key Takeaways
| Point | Details |
|---|---|
| Built for small, urgent jobs | Furniture moves, yard work, junk haul, handyman-style favors — not full contractor builds. |
| Verified before you meet | Identity checks happen before users can post or accept tasks. |
| Money stays in-app | Payment is held until the job is confirmed complete. |
| Transparent pricing | Posters pay the task price plus a clear platform fee (currently 12%). Helpers keep the listed payout. |
| Same-day matching | Designed for “I need help soon,” not weeks of scheduling. |

What ASAP is (and isn’t)
ASAP is a marketplace for short, local, in-person help. Think “need a second set of hands this afternoon,” not “hire a general contractor for a remodel.”
| ASAP is great for | ASAP is not for |
|---|---|
| Moving a couch or dresser upstairs | Full house moves with crews and trucks booked weeks out |
| Yard cleanup, bagging, light hauling | Tree felling, stump grinding, hazardous disposal |
| Simple handyman-style fixes | Licensed electrical / plumbing / HVAC jobs |
| Same-day neighborhood favors | Long retainers or ongoing employment |
How a job works end to end
- Post — Choose a category, describe the job, add photos and location, set a fair price.
- Match — A nearby helper accepts. Your payment (task price + platform fee) is authorized/held.
- Complete — Helper finishes and marks the job done (often with photo proof).
- Confirm — You approve within the confirmation window, or open a dispute if something’s wrong.
- Payout — After confirmation, the helper receives the listed payout.
Pro tip: Clear photos and a one-paragraph scope beat a long, vague description every time. Helpers accept faster when they can see the job.
Who ASAP is for
Posters who need help without the friction of traditional hiring.
Helpers (Doers) who want flexible nearby work and keep 100% of the listed task payout (aside from dispute adjustments).

Trust and safety foundations
- Identity verification before posting or accepting
- In-app chat so details stay in one place
- Ratings after jobs
- Held payments instead of sidewalk cash as the default
- Support and dispute tools when something goes sideways
No app removes every risk of meeting in person — use verification as a signal, not a substitute for judgment. Read more in Staying safe on ASAP.
