Price
- Creating an Airtasker account is free.
- Customers set a price they are willing to pay when they create a task.
- The price can be modified after the task is created if the scope of the task changes.

- 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.
