WorkConnect is a free, non-profit platform that helps people find and hire local tradespeople — plumbers, electricians, carpenters, movers, cleaners, and more with zero fees, ever. Unlike Thumbtack, Angi, or TaskRabbit, we don't take a commission or charge tradespeople for leads. Workers list their trade, experience, and rates for free. Hirers browse and hire directly. Once the job's done, both sides leave a review — No middleman. No paywalled contact. Just people helping people.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built WorkConnect because I kept noticing the same problem from both sides: homeowners frustrated at paying booking fees or commissions just to find a plumber, and tradespeople frustrated that platforms take a cut of every job they already worked hard for.
So WorkConnect just... doesn't do that. It's a free, non-profit platform — no commission, no lead fees, no paid tiers. Tradespeople list their trade, experience, and rates for free. Hirers browse and hire directly. Once the job's done, both sides leave a review, so trust builds up naturally over time. Money and scheduling happen directly between the two people — we're not in the middle of that at all, by design.
I'm still early — building this out feature by feature, city by city, and learning a lot as I go. A few things I'd genuinely love feedback on:
If you've ever hired a tradesperson (or are one yourself) — does this actually solve a real pain point for you, or am I missing something?
Anything confusing or clunky in the flow — I'd rather hear it now than later.
If you know tradespeople who might want to be listed, I'd be genuinely grateful if you shared this with them — free platforms like this only work if the people who need it actually know it exists.
Thanks for taking a look — happy to answer anything in the comments. 🙏
