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 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.
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.
Your hourly rate, or your salary divided by the hours you actually work.
Cleaning, laundry, groceries, errands, meal planning, chasing appointments, and remembering all of it.
That is what 8 hours a week is worth over a year, at £25 an hour.
The platform is free. You pay only for the tasks you book, and the price is always shown before you confirm.
