Taskeeu vs Bark in Ireland
Bark runs an Irish site where customers describe what they need for free and professionals respond with quotes. Professionals buy credit packs and spend credits to contact the customers they are interested in, and Bark says it takes no commission on the work.
Taskeeu works differently: you post a task for free, taskers based in Ireland bid a fixed price in euro, and the agreed price is held securely until you give the tasker a 6 digit completion code.
