How we stack up with Airtasker

It is, and that is worth saying plainly: local is not the difference here. Airtasker covers everything from furniture removal to handyman work, with marketing as one category among many. Unjumble does marketing and creative only, so the freelancers bidding on your gig do this for a living rather than picking up a task between other jobs.

Unjumble, because the whole platform is built for it. Around 170 marketing and creative services, freelancers who specialise in them, portfolios you can actually judge, and pricing benchmarks per service and per city. On a general task marketplace you are relying on the listing to tell you whether someone does this properly.

Airtasker holds payment for a task and releases it on completion. Unjumble splits a gig into stages agreed up front, funds each one through Stripe before work starts and releases it when you sign off that stage. For a website build or a brand identity, paying in stages against agreed deliverables suits the work better than a single completion payment.

Every freelancer joins with an ABN and an Australian mobile. Those who complete the check against the ABN Register carry an ABN verified badge on their card. It is a real check on a real register, not a self-declared label.

It is not set up to be. Freelancers bid with their own rate against your brief rather than undercutting a posted budget, and the service pages publish what the work typically costs so both sides start from the same benchmark. You pick the bid that fits, which is not always the cheapest one.
