FAQ

Pricing questions

Is there a monthly subscription?+

No. HANDiY is pay-as-you-go. You only pay when you start a session.

What if my issue takes longer than the included minutes?+

You can extend by the minute mid-session, or your expert can recommend a higher tier or contractor referral.

How do contractor referrals work?+

Referrals are free. Every contractor in the HANDiY network has agreed to an exclusive discounted rate for HANDiY-referred jobs — so when you hire one, you pay them directly at that discounted rate. HANDiY never adds a markup.

Are payments secure?+

Yes. All payments are processed through Stripe with end-to-end encryption.

Pay only when you actually need help.

That's the whole pricing model.
