These aren't marketing claims — they're the structural differences that make Ezy Peazy the better choice for most Kiwis.
Ezy Peazy is built by Kiwis, for Kiwis. It operates actively in Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, and Hamilton — with plans for further expansion. We are a self-funded platform with a core team of 10 experts who personally oversee quality services and support, making us more agile and responsive. Our founders have personally completed over 500 tasks, using that first-hand experience to make the platform fair, transparent, and helpful for both Taskers and Posters.
Airtasker was launched in Australia with limited NZ operations. This makes Ezy Peazy more responsive and relevant for Kiwis, with task categories and pricing tailored to everyday NZ needs.
Ezy Peazy charges a modest 10% to 15% commission on completed tasks with no hidden booking fees — while Airtasker asks for up to 20% commission (22% including GST for new taskers), plus a customer booking fee ranging from AU$2.90 to AU$24.90 per task.
With Ezy Peazy, you can be confident you'll get a good job done at a fair price. Lower fees for taskers means more competitive quotes for you.
Both platforms use secure payment systems where funds are held in escrow until the job is done. But Ezy Peazy goes further with a unique callout feature — you can request an in-person meeting with your tasker before hiring them. This is not available on Airtasker.
Our team also actively removes fake jobs and troublesome users from the ecosystem — hands-on moderation that Airtasker, operating globally at scale from Australia, cannot match for NZ.
Ezy Peazy provides a unique callout feature, where users can request an in-person meeting with their Tasker before they hire them. This provides a positive opportunity to meet and establish trust and credentials before a task begins.
Airtasker: not available · Ezy Peazy: ✓ callout featureEzy Peazy Taskers also have a high job completion rate – over 9,500+ jobs completed since its launch in 2021. Ezy Peazy has helped thousands of Kiwis get jobs done – from moving furniture in Auckland to assembling beds in Christchurch.
Airtasker: varies · Ezy Peazy: ✓ ~10 min average pickupEzy Peazy also prioritises transparency by actively showing tasker earnings, recent suspensions, and job stats on the website or app. Airtasker shows ratings and reviews, but not the same depth of operational data. This makes it a strong Airtasker alternative.
Airtasker: partial · Ezy Peazy: ✓ full transparencyEzy Peazy constantly strives for a convenient and hassle-free service. Users can post tasks and get offers from Taskers quickly and efficiently, compared with Airtasker New Zealand, which has broader task categories and receives thousands of jobs each day, which aren’t necessarily moderated.
Airtasker: global moderation · Ezy Peazy: ✓ hands-on NZ teamOne of the biggest differences between Ezy Peazy and Airtasker New Zealand is our focus on community and culture. While Airtasker NZ operates at a corporate scale, Ezy Peazy chooses a local, community based approach. We aim to support local Taskers to provide reliable services for everyday tasks. This approach fosters a sense of community, while making it easy for everyday Kiwis to manage their daily chores.
Airtasker: global corporate · Ezy Peazy: ✓ Kiwi community-firstEzy Peazy has a strong 4.9 / 5 on Google — the platform Kiwis know and trust. Airtasker NZ's reviews are on Trustpilot, which has less visibility and recognition among NZ consumers.
Airtasker: Trustpilot only · Ezy Peazy: ✓ Google 4.8★Every two weeks, Ezy Peazy publishes real task data and pricing insights — something Airtasker doesn't offer for the NZ market. Here's where the platform stands today.
400+ active, ID-verified taskers available to take on your job. Some have completed over 1,000 tasks on the platform. Every tasker goes through ID verification and onboarding before they can take work.
Tasks are picked up within ~10 minutes on average — and our most active cities are Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Hamilton, with Tauranga expanding now.
