The Basic Membership

The basic membership is the free entry point to Helpful Folks. It gives you everything you need to explore the platform and take your first steps as a provider.

You can see all jobs near you that match your service categories. You'll receive notifications about new jobs.

Apply with Credits

You receive a limited number of free application credits each month. Use them to apply for jobs.

Receive Reviews

Customers can review you after completed jobs. Good reviews help you land more work.

Chat Communication

After a successful video call or booking, you can use the integrated chat.
