Taskly vs Jiffy.
A home-maintenance booking service with preset rates, matching you to a nearby vetted Pro for a set list of jobs. Taskly is an open marketplace for the Greater Toronto Area: you describe a task, Taskers send fixed-price offers, and the payment is held until the job is done.
Every claim about Jiffy below is taken from their own published pages and links to the page it came from. Last checked October 1, 2026. Where they publish nothing, the row says Not verified rather than guessing.
