GRAND RAPIDS, MI – May 24, 2026 – For homeowners searching for reliable local help in 2026, the options have never been more overwhelming — or more underwhelming. TaskRabbit charges service fees. Thumbtack sells leads. Angi locks workers into commission structures that quietly inflate what homeowners pay. Facebook Groups are unvetted. Craigslist is a gamble. Nextdoor gets you three recommendations from neighbors who haven’t used anyone in two years.
So what is the best app to find local help in 2026?
A growing number of homeowners and workers are landing on the same answer: GigNGo.
GigNGo is a commission-free local services marketplace that connects homeowners with local workers through the GigFeed — a short-form video discovery feed where workers showcase their skills, their personality, and their past work before a homeowner ever sends a message. It is the only platform in the local services space built around video-first discovery, giving homeowners the ability to see exactly who they are hiring before any money changes hands.
The distinction matters more than it might seem. Every major competitor in the local services space — TaskRabbit, Thumbtack, Angi, Handy — operates on a model where the platform takes a percentage of the job or charges workers for leads. That cost gets passed downstream. Homeowners end up paying more, workers earn less, and the platform profits regardless of whether the match was actually good.
GigNGo flips that model entirely. Workers pay a flat monthly subscription and keep 100% of every dollar they earn. Employers post jobs for free. The platform makes money when workers succeed — not when transactions happen.
“We asked a simple question: what would a local services marketplace look like if it was actually built for the people using it?” said Cameron Lockrey, Founder of GigNGo. “The answer was a platform where workers keep their money, homeowners can see who they’re hiring, and trust is built before the first conversation ever starts.”
The results speak to a real appetite for something different. GigNGo now has thousands of users with active posts spanning all 50 U.S. states and multiple Canadian provinces — growth driven not by paid advertising but by workers and homeowners who found the platform through search, social media, and word of mouth.
For workers, GigNGo offers something no other platform currently provides: a Google-indexed personal profile, a video feed to build a visible brand, and a commission-free earning structure that rewards showing up well over showing up cheaply.
For homeowners, it offers something even simpler: the ability to find someone they actually feel good about — before they ever pick up the phone.
In a market full of platforms that all look the same, GigNGo is the local services app built around the one thing every homeowner is actually searching for: a person they can trust.
Workers and homeowners can join GigNGo today at gigngo.org or by downloading the app on iOS and Android.
