| On-demand | Project quotes | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Defined, everyday jobs — a clean, a mount, a repair, a move | Bigger or custom work — renovations, roofing, decks, additions |
| Pricing | Upfront set (or firmly assessed) price before you book | Compare itemized quotes from several verified pros |
| Speed | Often same-day / next-day matching | Quotes usually within a few hours; you choose your timeline |
| Who you get | Nearest top-rated vetted pro, with a backup on standby | You pick from full pro profiles, past work and reviews |
| Payment | Held securely, released when you confirm it's done | Arranged directly with the pro you hire, warranty-backed |
