Why expats and English speakers use Kwickly
You set your own budget and post the job once, in English — it's broadcast to nearby Task Doers who can accept it at that price, instead of relying on a single contact who may or may not reply. Everything — the scope and scheduling — is confirmed in an in-app chat you can read back at any time, and payment is only released once the job is done.
How pricing works
There's no fixed platform price and no negotiation — you set your own budget when you post the task, and nearby Task Doers can accept it at that price. As a general guide, house cleaning commonly runs around €6-10/hour and handyman work around €25-45/hour, though this varies by job.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to speak Portuguese to use Kwickly?
No. Post your task in English and you'll be matched with nearby Task Doers who are comfortable communicating in English.
Who sets the price for a task?
You do — you set your own budget when you post the task, and nearby Task Doers can accept it at that price.
What kind of jobs can I post?
Most everyday household help — cleaning, handyman work, furniture assembly, moving help, and general repairs — plus one-off errands.
How do I know who I'm hiring?
Every Kwickly user is phone-verified, and Task Doers who've completed Stripe payout setup are also identity-verified via Stripe. Kwickly doesn't run background checks or verify licences or insurance — you can also check a Task Doer's profile, reviews, and task history before agreeing to anything.
How do I pay?
You pay your stated budget through Stripe when you post the task. That payment is held and only released to the Task Doer once you confirm the job is done.
