Jiffy
Canada's on-demand home-services app — pros get matched to booked jobs (Toronto, since 2015)
Market position
Jiffy is a Toronto-based on-demand home-services app (founded 2015), often described as Canada's #1 home-maintenance app. Homeowners pick from 30+ services, choose a time, and get matched to a nearby vetted, insured pro, paying in-app on completion. For tradespeople, Jiffy is a booking/lead channel that supplies matched jobs — distinct from the quote-request directory model of HomeStars and TrustedPros.
Canada-specific note
An on-demand booking model (closer to a TaskRabbit for Canadian home maintenance) rather than a quote-request directory: pros are vetted and insured, matched to jobs, with in-app payment. Strongest in Toronto and major Canadian metros.
Pros
- + On-demand matched jobs — no quote-chasing
- + Vetted, insured pro model with in-app booking and payment
- + Established Toronto brand (since 2015)
- + Distinct channel from directory/quote sites
Cons
- − Concentrated in major Canadian metros (Toronto-centric)
- − Platform controls pricing and the customer relationship (gig-style)
- − 30+ categories but not every trade
- − Canada-only — no cross-market value
Typical Canada pricing
Platform-set job pricing; pros paid per completed job
Why this matters for Canada trades
Trade certification is provincial (with the interprovincial Red Seal endorsement), and payroll/accounting software must handle CRA source deductions, GST/HST/PST, and — for Quebec — French-language and Revenu Québec requirements.
Canadian trades vendor selection is shaped by provincial trade certification (often Red Seal), CRA payroll remittances, GST/HST/PST handling, and bilingual (English/French) requirements in some provinces.
