Features

What a Build Includes

Ask for the features marked Included and Fabricate builds them into your TaskRabbit-style app. The ones marked Not built in are here so you know before you start.

Tasks and Helpers

Customers pick a task, such as assembly or moving help, and see the helpers who do it with their hourly rate and reviews.

Included

Booking a Time

Each helper sets the days and hours they work, and customers book a free time with the address and what needs doing.

Included

Helper Profiles

A photo, the tasks they do, the areas they cover, an hourly rate, photos of past work and reviews.

Included

Messages

Customers and helpers message each other about a booking. Ask for live updates and new messages and posts appear on open screens without a refresh, over a connection to the app's own server.

Included

Reviews

Customers rate the helper when the task is done, and the ratings show on the profile.

Included

Fees and Deposits

On Pro and Max, customers can pay a booking fee or a deposit, or helpers a monthly plan, through Stripe Checkout into your own Stripe account.

Included

Payouts to Helpers

Paying helpers their share of a booking is not built in; customers pay helpers directly for the hours.

Not built in

Live Location and Maps

Tracking a helper on the way and a map are not built in; each booking shows the address in words.

How It Works

Build Your TaskRabbit Clone in 3 Steps

  1. 1

    Describe It

    Tell Fabricate what features you want in your TaskRabbit clone. Be as specific or general as you like.

  2. 2

    Generate It

    Fabricate builds it as a web app with its own database and sign-in, and on Pro and Max card payments into your own Stripe account. Try it in the preview and ask for changes in the same chat.

  3. 3

    Launch It

    Publish your clone with one click on Pro, and share its link with your first users.

In-depth guide

What goes into a TaskRabbit clone built with Fabricate

A TaskRabbit clone is a marketplace for local help booked by the hour: a customer picks a task, chooses a helper by rate and reviews, and books a time. Built with Fabricate, it is one web app made from your description, with a sign-in for customers and helpers, its own database and an admin page for you.

Helpers and bookings: each helper lists the tasks they do, the areas they cover, an hourly rate and the hours they work. Customers book a free time with the address and what needs doing, message the helper, and leave a review when the task is done. Messages appear live.

Money: On Pro and Max, the app can take card payments through Stripe Checkout, paid into your own Stripe account, which you connect under More > Payments. That suits a booking fee, a deposit or a monthly plan for helpers. Paying helpers their share of a booking is not built in, so customers pay helpers directly for the hours.

What is not built in: payouts to helpers, live location and maps, text messages and push notifications, background checks with an outside service, and phone apps from the App Store or Google Play. Photos can be shown on profiles, up to your plan's storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do payments work?
On Pro and Max, the app can take card payments through Stripe Checkout, paid into your own Stripe account, which you connect under More > Payments. That money goes to you: paying helpers their share of each booking is not built in, so it suits a platform where helpers pay you a fee to join, or where customers pay helpers directly. Fabricate takes no share of what you are paid; Stripe charges its own card fees.
Can customers book a time?
Yes. Each helper sets the days and hours they work, customers book a free time, and a time that is booked cannot be booked again. Make two test bookings for the same time in the preview to check.
Does it send booking reminders?
Text messages and push notifications are not built in. Customers and helpers see their upcoming bookings, with the time and address, when they sign in.
Can I check helpers before they are listed?
Yes, by hand: ask for helpers to apply and for an admin page where you approve them before they can be booked. Background checks with an outside service are not built in.
Can it show where a helper is?
No. Live location and maps are not built in. Each booking shows the address and time in words.
Is it legal to build a TaskRabbit clone?
Building an app that works in a similar way is common, but do not use TaskRabbit's name, logo, design or content. Fabricate writes your app's code from your description and does not copy TaskRabbit's code. Pick a name of your own, and ask a lawyer if you are unsure.
