You're in Control of Your Budget

Unlike many service platforms that use fixed pricing, Favor On-Demand gives you the flexibility to decide what you're willing to pay for your task.

Every task is different.

A simple grocery pickup isn't priced the same as assembling a large piece of furniture or helping someone move across town.

Choosing a fair budget helps attract interested Helpers while setting clear expectations from the start.

Before posting your task, think about a few important factors.

Ask yourself:

• How much work is involved? 
• Is it a quick task or an all-day project? 
• Will it require lifting, cleaning, or multiple steps? 

Generally, larger tasks deserve larger budgets.

Think about how long the task may take.

Examples include

• 20-minute errand 
• 1-hour furniture assembly 
• Half-day landscaping project 
• Full-day moving assistance 

Longer tasks typically require higher compensation.

Some tasks require little experience, while others call for specialized skills.

For example:

• Furniture assembly 
• TV mounting 
• Home organization 
• Photography 
• Tutoring 
• Event setup 
• Minor home repairs 

If your task requires experience or specialized knowledge, consider increasing your budget to attract qualified Helpers.

Think about who will provide the necessary materials or equipment.

Ask yourself:

• Are you providing all required materials? 
• Does the Helper need to bring tools? 
• Will the Helper need to purchase supplies before arriving? 

Clearly explaining these details in your task helps avoid confusion and allows Helpers to decide if the task is a good fit.

Some tasks may require a Helper to travel farther than others.

Consider:

• Driving distance 
• Parking availability 
• Multi-location errands 
• Remote versus in-person work 

Travel time may influence whether a Helper chooses to accept your task.

Offering a fair budget can help:

• Attract more interested Helpers 
• Receive responses more quickly 
• Increase the likelihood of finding an experienced Helper 
• Create a positive experience for everyone involved 

Remember, your budget is an offer—not a guarantee that every Helper will accept the task.

In many cases, yes.

Depending on your task's status, you may be able to update your budget before work begins.

Increasing your budget may help attract additional Helpers if your task hasn't been accepted yet.

For the best experience:

• Be detailed about what needs to be done. 
• Upload clear photos or videos. 
• Mention whether materials are included. 
• Explain any special requirements. 
• Offer a budget that reflects the work involved. 

A well-written task combined with a fair budget helps both Requesters and Helpers start with confidence.

No.

Favor On-Demand does not assign fixed prices for individual tasks. Requesters choose the budget they're comfortable offering.

Once a task is accepted, the agreed-upon budget and scope of work are final.

Before work begins, both you and your Helper should make sure you understand and agree to the task details, including the scope of work, budget, materials, location, and any special instructions.

If additional work is needed beyond the original task, the current task should be completed as agreed. Any new work should be posted as a separate task with its own budget.

This helps prevent misunderstandings, keeps pricing transparent, and ensures both Requesters and Helpers know exactly what to expect before work begins.

You may want to:

• Increase your budget. 
• Add more details or photos. 
• Clarify the scope of work. 
• Verify that your location and scheduling information are accurate. 

Sometimes small improvements make a big difference.
