Yada as an Airtasker alternative in Canterbury
If you’re living or working in Canterbury and want a better alternative to Airtasker, our New Zealand-wide gig platform provides a transparent and cost-effective solution. Unlike many gig platforms, we do not charge lead or success fees, allowing specialists to offer fairer prices while clients avoid hidden costs or inflated rates.
Our community welcomes both individuals and businesses, creating a diverse network of Kiwis who collaborate on everything from household jobs to professional tasks. Whether you’re based in Christchurch, Timaru, or Ashburton, you can find or offer work easily through our streamlined online system.
We use a two-way rating system designed to build trust and accountability. Clients and specialists can rate each other after every completed job, ensuring the best possible matches in future. Professionals with higher ratings are rewarded with more daily response opportunities, promoting consistent quality service.
Posting a job is completely free for clients across Canterbury, while specialists can respond without fees - ensuring open access for everyone. Our secure internal chat keeps all communication private and accessible only to the involved parties, helping reduce miscommunication.
The platform is fast, intuitive, and mobile-friendly. It’s designed specifically for New Zealanders, so you can manage job listings, messages, and profile details from any smartphone, tablet, or desktop with ease.
In summary, our Canterbury-focused platform offers a genuine Airtasker alternative - combining fairness, trust, and simplicity in one easy-to-use, Kiwi-built service.
Frequently asked questions
- Users can post as many tasks as they need, however the posted jobs would still need to go through the moderation process before they can appear on the platform;
- To protect users from spam, the specialist would not be able to respond to every single job at the platform (their response quotas would depend on the rating tier they are on);
- We do not have any subscription fees as of today, but we do plan to introduce different plans at a later stage (however, the core features like free posting, free chat and no lead/success fees would remain);
