How TaskTigers Handles Price Clarity for Home Services
Price confusion is one of the biggest reasons home-service bookings go wrong. TaskTigers separates fixed service price, booking fee, protected advance, provider payment, and extra work where needed.

Different prices mean different things
A fixed service price is for the selected service scope. A quote or inspection fee is for diagnosis or visit. Parts, materials, or extra work may be separate.
A booking fee, when applied, belongs to the booking process. Protected advance is handled separately for eligible higher-value jobs.
Provider price ranges improve internal matching
TaskTigers can collect provider price ranges for selected services to understand normal local pricing and reduce mismatch during assignment.
This helps operations identify whether the customer-facing price needs review or whether a job should be discussed before assignment.
Clearer pricing reduces support load
When customers know what is included and providers know the expected job type, fewer calls are needed to resolve basic questions.
The best pricing flow is not the longest explanation. It is the shortest explanation that prevents wrong expectations.
Questions customers ask
Will customers see provider price ranges?
Provider ranges are primarily for TaskTigers operations and pricing review. Customer-facing prices are shown on the booking page.
Why does a booking sometimes need extra payment?
Extra payment may be needed when work is outside the selected scope, requires parts/materials, needs more rooms or area, or changes after inspection.
