The peer-to-peer gig marketplace where workers and hirers connect directly — you set the price, you make the deal.
Launching in Virginia • Expanding nationwide • 18+ • iOS & Android
Simple process
Post a job or find work in minutes. No agencies, no fees on the actual pay — just direct connections.
Describe the job, set a suggested price, add photos, and choose when you need it done. Post for free with a subscription or just $2 per post.
Nearby workers see your gig and submit offers. You see all bids, negotiate directly, and accept the best fit — no algorithm deciding for you.
Once you accept, full location details unlock. Message in-app, agree on the details, and get the job done.
Payment goes straight between you — cash, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App. We never touch the money. Both parties leave a review when done.
Real gigs, real people
From quick odd jobs to skilled trade work — if you'd ask a neighbor or a local pro, you can post it on DirectGigs.
ⓘ Some jobs — including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural work — may require a licensed contractor under Virginia law. It's the poster's and worker's responsibility to verify any applicable licensing requirements before work begins.
Platform features
Built for real people doing real work in their community.
Jobs and workers surface by distance. Set your service radius — default 10 miles, up to 50 miles. Hyper-local by design.
All communication stays in-app. Your real phone number is never shared. Pre- and post-acceptance Q&A, photo sharing, read receipts.
Workers can earn a Verified badge via background check. Job posters can require it before hiring — so getting verified gives workers a real edge when competing for gigs.
Workers will be able to display a Licensed & Insured badge on their profile — an instant trust signal that tells hirers you're credentialed before they even read your bio.
Mutual star ratings and written reviews posted only after both parties submit — no gaming the system. Public responses allowed.
Workers get notified of new gigs that match their skills and radius. Fully customizable notification preferences.
Live GPS tracking for ride gigs only. Trip sharing, route deviation alerts, and vehicle info shown before the ride starts.
Up to 3 counter-offer rounds with a 30-minute timer. Workers can see competing bid amounts. Total price freedom for everyone.
SOS button, silent panic mode (5 rapid taps), emergency contacts, no real phone numbers ever exposed.
Traditional gig platforms take huge cuts, control pricing, and make you compete with algorithms. DirectGigs is different.
We connect people. That's it. You and the hirer sort out the rest — price, timing, payment method — all directly between adults.
Simple pricing
One small fee to connect. That's all we ever charge.
Background checks are optional for workers — but job posters can require them before hiring. Getting verified gives you a real edge. Platform never touches job payment.
DirectGigs launches in Virginia first — then we're bringing direct gigs to the rest of the country. Get on the list and be first in your area.
