Membership

Host membership

$200/ month

Flat membership — 30 job posts/month with $0 service fee while active.

  • 30 posts included each month — hire on up to 30 jobs with no customer service fee on top.
  • Pay the job price only — host total = agreed job price on included membership posts.
  • Predictable cost — $200/month instead of a per-job service fee on those 30.

  • 15 jobs included each month — complete up to 15 jobs with no commission cut.
  • Keep the full job price — you earn = agreed job price on included membership jobs.
  • Predictable cost — $150/month instead of per-job commission on those 15.
  • Best for freelancers with steady STR volume inside the monthly cap.

For hosts

  • Two ways to pay TaskPine — ~5% service fee per job, or $200/month membership for 30 posts/month at $0 service fee.
  • You choose the job price — fixed amount, or open the job for offers and counters.
  • Payment secured — charged before work starts. Shown in the product only after the charge succeeds. Funds stay on the platform until you approve completion.
  • Disputes & refunds — if work is wrong, open a dispute with evidence. Refunds create real refund records (and Stripe refunds when keys are configured).

For providers

  • Two ways to pay TaskPine — commission on each job, or $150/month membership for 15 jobs/month at $0 commission.
  • See fees before you offer — earning surfaces show job price, any commission, and you earn.
  • Payout after approval — when the host approves completion, payout becomes eligible via Stripe Connect.
  • No fake “Payment secured” — if Stripe is not configured, funding stays unavailable instead of simulating money.
