-
Recommended for the Following
Individual Self-Managing Property Owners – Yes
Property Managers and Co-hosts – Yes, but ideally property managers and co-hosts have a fixed team they work with consistently. Airtasker could be an option for getting extra assistance for short-term projects.

Integrations
- Currently unaware of any PMS integrations for Airtasker.
Other Features:
- Just like Airbnb, Airtasker chargers a service fee. This fee is charged to the Tasker and can range from 10-20% of the task price.
- Airtasker has a dispute resolution process if issues arise during a task.
- Airtasker is available in:
- United States
- Australia
- The United Kingdom
- New Zealand
- Singapore
- Ireland.
- *You can only create tasks in the country you are located in.
-
Pros
- A fast way to find help for a wide range of projects including: furniture assembly, cleaning, maintenance, painting, marketing tasks, photography, wallpapering, etc. The possibilities are almost endless.
- Airtasker holds the task payment in escrow until the task has been completed to the customer's satisfaction.
-
Cons
- Airtasker is a relatively new platform and there might not be many "Taskers" (professionals who have joined the Airtasker platform) in your area.
- Just like guests take a risk staying at properties without many reviews, customers are taking a bit of a risk if they use a Tasker with a limited number of reviews.
- Invoices are not provided automatically. Taskers are independent contractors, so you’ll have to request an invoice from them directly for your records and tax purposes.

- Breezeway integrates with most of the leading property management systems.
- Intuitive and user-friendly app and website.
- It's nice that the guest messaging feature is an add-on because users may already have other products in their tech stack they utilize for messaging. It's there if you need it, but you don't have to pay for it if you don't need it.
-
Cons
- Some have reported that the mobile app used by cleaning and maintenance teams in the field can run slowly at times. Breezeway has built a way for team members to download their tasks and work offline, but it is important you train your teams how to use this feature.
- Don't get carried away! Users of Breezeway, and similar other platforms, should be careful not to create overwhelming cleaning and maintenance checklists for their teams. There are so many options for task creation, requiring photos, etc. that it is easy to get carried away and create checklists with hundreds of items.
