The Helpful Folks promise

We've learned from the mistakes of other platforms. At Helpful Folks, quality, reliability, and trust come first.

Identity verification

Triple-checked identity

No anonymous profiles, no fake identities. We actively verify three things: Is the profile photo real? Is the address valid? And is the ID card genuine? Only after all three checks pass is the profile activated. Trade license and liability insurance are collected as self-declarations — providers with insurance receive a visible trust badge.

Reliability guarantee

No more ghosting

Sound familiar? You reach out and never hear back. At Helpful Folks, every inquiry deserves a response. We reward reliability: providers who respond within 72 hours get a visibility boost in rankings and earn a reliability badge. Those who frequently don't respond drop in rankings — and it shows on their profile. So you can see at a glance who you can count on.

Mandatory video call

Meet personally via video call

For personal services like childcare or elderly care, a video call before the first booking is mandatory. This way, you get to know your provider face to face beforehand. No blind trust — a real introduction.
