TaskRabbit and Angi Services (Handy): small jobs, set rates

Short answer: TaskRabbit charges taskers a one-time $25 registration fee, charges its service fee to clients, and lets you set your own hourly rate by category. Angi Services, formerly Handy, lets pros see the price before claiming jobs and requires a background check. Both suit small jobs more than full contracting work.
