Become a Genie pro See how it worksSign up in minutes. Your ID + criminal record check run automatically — most pros are cleared and online the same day.
Turn on the job types you want — hourly, set-price, quote-based leads, or all of them. Set your trades, rates where they apply, and your travel radius.
Genie matches you to nearby work. Finish the job and your pay releases from escrow — free to your bank in a few business days, or instant to your debit card for a small fee. You keep 100% of tips, materials and mileage.
Go online, get matched, and navigate to the door — with GPS the customer can follow, so trust is built in.
Flip one switch and see paid jobs light up on the map near you — matched to your trade and ranked by pay, distance and your ratings.
See the task, an AI time estimate and the pay before you commit. The customer's contact stays masked until you accept — everything stays on Genie.
The full address and host notes unlock on accept, and GPS guides you to the door. Geofenced check-in confirms you're on site, so the customer can track you live.
The lockbox or entry code reveals only after you've checked in on site. Work a clear checklist and add completion photos as you go — proof that protects your rating and your pay.
Every completed job earns a customer rating and review. Great ratings bring you more work, better leads, and — on Genie — a lower commission over time.
Mark the job done with photos and your pay is released from escrow. Standard payouts are free and land in a few business days; cash out instantly to your debit card for a small fee once your account's eligible.
Take one type of work, or all of it — you decide, and you can change it anytime in the app.
Get paid by the hour for tasks like cleaning, moving help, handyman work and errands. Log your hours in the app; the customer is charged and you're paid out fast.
Take upfront, fixed-price on-demand bookings. The price is clear before you accept, so there's no haggling — just do great work and get paid.
For bigger projects, receive leads and send your own itemized quote. Win the job on your terms and price it your way.
Genie works around your life — not the other way around. You're your own boss.
Full-time, part-time, weekends or the odd evening — pick up work whenever it suits you. No set shifts, no minimums.
Set your travel radius and the neighbourhoods you'll serve, so every job that reaches you is close to home.
Going on vacation or busy this week? Go offline in a tap and switch back on when you're ready — no penalty.
Your tips are entirely yours, and materials and mileage are reimbursed in full. Clear, upfront payouts — no surprises, no monthly membership.
Automated ID + background checks get most pros approved and earning the same day — no waiting weeks.
Standard payouts are free and reach your bank within a few business days of each job (your first payout can take up to ~7 days while Stripe runs a one-time fraud hold). Need it sooner? Once eligible, cash out instantly to your debit card for a small fee, taken from that payout.
Set your trades, your service area, which job types you take, and when you're available. Work as much or as little as you want.
Payments held in escrow, clear rules, and support when you need it — so you can focus on the work.
Every great job earns reviews that bring you more work and better leads over time.
Start at 0% commission, then earn a permanently lower rate as you build your reputation. Every other platform only ever takes more.
Keep ~100% of your first jobs while you get going. Genie takes no commission during your launch window — you just cover card processing.
Hit milestones on jobs + ratings and your commission drops for good — 20% → 15% → 12%. The better you do, the less Genie takes.
Your tips, materials and mileage are always 100% yours — on top of your pay. No lead fees on booked jobs, no monthly membership.
Everyday on-demand jobs never cost you a lead fee — you just pay commission when you get paid. For bigger quote-based projects (renovations, big installs, moves), Genie runs a pay-per-lead model designed around one idea: your money should only go toward real chances to win the job — not a stack of stale leads resold to pro after pro.
See a preview and the price first. The full brief unlocks only when you claim — and you're never charged twice for the same lead. No membership, no monthly wallet top-up.
Claim a lead, send the homeowner your quote, and win the work on your price and your profile. The lead closes the instant they hire someone — so you're never chasing a job that's already gone.
One clear fee by project size — $25 small, $60 standard, $125 large, $200 major, $250 premium. No surprise per-lead charges, and nothing hidden behind an annual contract.
How the big lead-selling platforms charge pros, for comparison (published rates, as of September 2026):
| 🧞 Genie | Angi Leads / HomeAdvisor | Thumbtack | Bark | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Membership / sign-up fee | None | ~US$300 / year | None | None |
| What you pay for a lead | One fee by project size ($25–$250) | ~$15–$100 per lead | Credits per quote (~$10–$80+) | Credits per lead (~$15–$30) |
| See the job & your exact fee before you pay? | Yes — preview + fee shown before you claim | No — leads pushed to you | Partial — variable credit cost | Partial — pay to see contact |
| Do credits / leads expire? | No prepaid credits to expire | Membership renews yearly | Credits can expire | Credits expire ~3 months |
Straight talk: like any advertising, a lead you claim is paid whether or not you win the job — so you only claim the projects you actually want to quote. What makes that fair on Genie: you always see the job and the exact fee before you claim, the lead closes the moment the customer hires, and you're never charged for the same lead twice.
Competitor figures are widely reported industry rates and policies as of September 2026 and vary by trade, market and plan. For current terms, check each platform's own site — Angi / HomeAdvisor (angi.com), Thumbtack (thumbtack.com) and Bark (bark.com).

Bring people onto Genie and share in the upside. Everything's funded from Genie's commission — so it's real, and it's built into your payouts.
Invite a pro you trust. When they get going, you earn a share of Genie's commission on their early jobs — extra income on top of your own, automatically added to your payouts.
The pro you refer gets the 0% launch window too, so they're keen to join through your link — you both win from day one.
Share your link with homeowners. When they book, they get a first-time deal and you help build the demand that fills your calendar.
Genie sends you matched work for free — you never have to pay to be seen. But if you want extra visibility in your area, you can choose to promote your listing. It's optional, capped so search stays useful, and you're never paying per lead.
Your free matched jobs never depend on it. This is placement and visibility, not another lead fee — turn it on or off any time, right in the app.
Advertise from day one to build a book faster — no minimum rating or job history needed to start. Turn it on or off any time, right in the app.
Pick the reach you want — Highlighted, Featured or Top Ad, from $19 — for the exact services you choose. Flat, upfront pricing; cancel whenever.
Whatever you do around the home, there's demand on Genie. Tap your category to see the work.

Yes. Turn on hourly jobs, set-price jobs, quote-based project leads, or all of them — and change it any time. You also set your trades, your service area and your availability.
Most pros are approved the same day. Your identity and criminal record check run automatically the moment you submit — as soon as they clear, you can go online and get matched.
You get on-demand bookings and project leads matched to your trade, ratings and area — so the work that reaches you is relevant and nearby.
When a job is confirmed done, your pay is released from escrow to your bank through Stripe. <b>Standard payouts are free</b> and land within a few business days — your very first payout can take up to about 7 days while Stripe runs a one-time fraud hold, then it speeds up. <b>Prefer it now?</b> Once your Stripe account has enough history (about 60 days), you can cash out instantly to your debit card in minutes for a small fee — about 1% in Canada — which comes out of your payout, not your pocket. On quote-based projects you're hired directly by the customer.
