When it comes to home services, the market is full of options. You’ve got Angi, Thumbtack, TaskRabbit, Nextdoor, and even StreetFair. But if you’ve ever used one of these platforms, you know the experience can feel a little… disconnected. Enter Pigybak, the new kid on the block doing things differently. We’re here to make neighbors neighborly again and home projects a whole lot easier. Curious how we stack up? Let’s dive in.
1. Angi
What they offer: Angi focuses on connecting homeowners with contractors through a directory and review system.
How Pigybak is different:
Angi gives you a list of options, but that’s where the magic ends. At Pigybak, we take it further. Instead of just matching homeowners with contractors, we cluster jobs for group deals in your neighborhood, saving everyone money. Plus, with our community-driven features like neighborhood group chats and real-time updates from contractors, we’re not just about projects—we’re about building connections.
2. Thumbtack
What they offer: Thumbtack helps you find pros for just about anything, from photography to plumbing.
How Pigybak is different:
Thumbtack may cast a wide net, but with Pigybak, we specialize in home services and do it better. Our contractors post their schedules, and we use geofencing to notify neighborhoods in advance. Think of it as creating a contractor block party where everyone benefits. Oh, and no back-and-forth messaging to figure out schedules—our app streamlines everything.
3. TaskRabbit
What they offer: TaskRabbit connects you with individuals to tackle small tasks, from assembling furniture to moving boxes.
How Pigybak is different:
Sure, TaskRabbit is great for one-offs, but it’s not built for home service longevity. Pigybak’s AI-powered scheduling and clustering system makes us a better fit for ongoing and large-scale projects. And instead of one task at a time, we help you and your neighbors team up for group savings. The more, the merrier—and the cheaper!
4. Nextdoor
What they offer: Nextdoor is a social network for neighborhoods to share recommendations, news, and local updates.
How Pigybak is different:
Nextdoor lets you talk about contractors; Pigybak lets you hire them. We combine the social aspects of Nextdoor with a seamless home service platform. Need a contractor? Post it in our app. Want to chat with neighbors about a group discount? We’ve got a built-in group chat for that. No need to switch platforms or drown in recommendation threads—Pigybak keeps everything in one place.
5. StreetFair
What they offer: StreetFair is another home services marketplace connecting homeowners and contractors.
How Pigybak is different:
StreetFair might seem similar on the surface, but here’s where we outshine: our mission-driven approach. Pigybak isn’t just about transactions—it’s about transforming how neighborhoods function. From group deals to partnerships with local communities and nonprofits, we’re building a platform that grows communities, not just profits.
The Pigybak Difference: Community-Driven Innovation
At Pigybak, we’re not just another home services platform. We’re creating something bigger—a way for neighbors to connect, collaborate, and save. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Group Deals: Save money by teaming up with neighbors for home projects.
- AI Clustering: We maximize contractor efficiency by grouping nearby jobs.
- Real-Time Scheduling: Contractors post their availability, and you book instantly.
- Social Features: From group chats to neighborhood notifications, we bring people together.
- Mission-Driven: We’re working with cities, local nonprofits, and neighborhood groups to make a real impact.
