Looking for Apps Like TaskRabbit or Thumbtack? Meet GigMap

TaskRabbit and Thumbtack are well-known ways to find local help. If you're comparing options, whether you're hiring or you're the one doing the work, GigMap is a newer, free iPhone app worth adding to your list. Here's what it does and how it's different, so you can decide what fits.

What GigMap is

GigMap is a local marketplace for gigs and services. It does three things in one app:

1. Find work. Browse paid local gigs on an interactive map and filter by category, pay range, and distance.
2. Post a job. Describe what you need, set a budget (fixed, hourly, daily, or negotiable), add photos and a date, and connect with people nearby.
3. Promote your services. Freelancers and businesses can list multiple services with pricing, a portfolio, and a website link, and get found by local customers.

How GigMap works differently

• Map-first. Instead of a list, you see gigs and providers as pins on a map, which makes it easy to focus on work close by.
• Both sides in one place. The same account can post gigs, take gigs, and list services.
• Direct arrangements. GigMap doesn't process payments. You and the other person agree on price and payment method directly in chat.
• Your own service storefront. Businesses and licensed pros can list several services, show a portfolio, mark themselves "Available now," and link to their own site.
• Free to download. GigMap is free on the App Store with no in-app purchases listed.

What to consider

Every platform makes trade-offs, and it's worth being clear about them:

• GigMap doesn't employ, verify, or guarantee users. You're responsible for vetting who you hire or work for, using profiles, ratings, reviews, and completed-job counts.
• Because payments happen outside the app, agree on scope, price, and payment method before work starts.
• GigMap is new. It launched in Las Vegas in September 2026, so the number of gigs and providers depends on your area. Early users who list their services have a chance to stand out.
• It's currently iPhone and iPad only, available on the US App Store.

Who it's a good fit for

• Side hustlers who want to see nearby gigs on a map and get alerts for new ones
• Neighbors who need quick help with cleaning, moving, yard work, pets, or tech
• Small service businesses and freelancers who want another free place to be discovered locally, with reviews that build over time
• Las Vegas locals, including gigs unique to the city like event promotion and nightlife staffing
