Questions, answered
Is Taskly safer than hiring someone on Kijiji or Facebook?
Taskly adds protection those don’t have: every Tasker is reviewed and approved, your money is held in escrow until the job’s done, calls are masked, and there’s an on-platform dispute process if something goes wrong.
Does Taskly cost more than a Kijiji cash deal?
You pay the agreed fixed price with no hidden fees, and you only release payment when the job’s done — the protection is built in rather than an extra charge.
