Simple, Transparent Pricing

The Helper’s Rate, Plus 5%. That’s It!

There’s no subscription, booking fee or minimum. Helpers set their own hourly rate in CAD, and we add a 5% service fee that covers payments, agreements and support. You’ll always see the total before agreeing to anything.

Full pricing for both sides
Example · 3 hours of childcare
Maria’s rate · $28/hr × 3 $84.00
Poppynz service fee · 5% $4.20

Local people, often parents, students, retired educators or care workers, who offer everyday help in their own neighbourhood. Every one has passed identity and background checks and been approved by a Poppynz admin before appearing in search.

Helpers walk into your home. A short family verification means they only ever hear from real, verified households, it’s what makes trust run both ways.

Sessions are tracked in the app and billed at the helper’s hourly rate plus a 5% service fee, in CAD. There are no subscriptions or minimums.

Hours, rate, what the work includes, and what happens if a session runs long or is cancelled. It’s plain language and signed inside Poppynz before the first session.

Yes. Most families do. You can set up recurring sessions with a helper you already have an agreement with.

Message support from inside the app, a person replies. Every session, message and agreement is logged, so there is a clear record to work from.
