No booking fees, ever

You pay the agreed cost of the task and nothing else. No platform fee, no booking fee, no service charge bolted on at checkout. Helpcona's commission comes out of that cost rather than being added to it — so the price you see before you confirm is the price you pay.

Every helper is vetted before you meet them

Free doesn't mean unchecked

Every helper passes identity and right-to-work checks before they can accept a job. Anyone doing childcare or Buddy & companion work clears an enhanced DBS check first, no exceptions. Our commission on completed tasks is what keeps that running, alongside photo-proof tracking and support if anything looks off.

The mental load tax

What is the invisible work actually costing you?

Move the two sliders. This is the value of the hours you currently spend on household admin, priced at what your own time is worth.

£25/hr

Your hourly rate, or your salary divided by the hours you actually work.

8 hrs

Cleaning, laundry, groceries, errands, meal planning, chasing appointments, and remembering all of it.

Your annual mental load tax
£10,400

That is what 8 hours a week is worth over a year, at £25 an hour.

Helpcona platform fee£0/year
Hours handed back to you416 hrs/year
Helpcona costs £0 to use. You only pay for the tasks you choose to hand over.

The platform is free. You pay only for the tasks you book, and the price is always shown before you confirm.

Pricing questions

Before you start

Is it really free?

Yes. There's no trial to run out, because there's nothing to subscribe to. Creating an account, browsing helpers, using the voice diary and getting tasks broken down all cost nothing. You're only ever charged for a task you choose to book.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No long-term lock-in, pause, cancel or resume anytime.

Are there hidden fees?

No. Just the agreed cost of each task you book. That's it.

What if a task costs more than expected?

You see the estimate before confirming. If the actual cost differs, we contact you for approval before charging more.
