The problems everyone's tired of

🎰

The quote lottery

You never know the real price until it's too late to walk away.

👻

No-shows & flakes

The pro cancels or doesn't turn up — and you're back to square one.

🤷

No recourse

Pay up front, and if the work's bad there's no one standing behind it.

📱

Five apps for five jobs

One app for cleaning, another for handymen, another for movers…

🧾

Hidden fees

Booking fees, service fees, minimums — stacked on at checkout.

😤

Pros get squeezed

High commissions and paid leads mean the best pros burn out or leave.

Why Genie — FAQ

What makes Genie different from Angi, Thumbtack or Jiffy?

Genie gives you an upfront price before you book (not a quote lottery), matches you with a vetted pro with a backup on standby, holds your payment until you approve, and handles both everyday jobs and big projects in one app.

Is Genie more expensive?

No — you see the price before you book and there are no surprise minimums. Members skip booking fees and earn rewards.

What if something goes wrong?

Your payment is held until you approve the work, and on-demand jobs are backed by the Genie Protection Fund, so a covered issue is made right.
