How it works
Post it. Someone nearby claims it. It gets done.
Here is one real bounty — $50 to mount a TV — from the minute it was posted to the minute the money moved. Watch the last line of each card: that is where your money is.
-
You post
Name your price
Describe what you need and set the reward. It takes about a minute, and you won't be fielding quotes, phone calls, or five strangers asking for your address.

A hunter claims

You pick who does it
ID-verified people nearby offer to take it on. You choose who gets it, then message them in the app to sort out the details.

You approved the work. The TV is on the wall.

- Your money
- Released to the hunter
Approve, then they're paid
Your money is held from the moment you post and only moves once you confirm the job is done. That is the whole guarantee, and it runs in both directions.
See this bounty on Bounty — one of the completed jobs shown at the top of this page.
Post once. Nobody calls you.
No lead forms, no bidding wars, no 10 calls from strangers. You post, you pick, you message one person.
The money stays in your zip code.
The reward goes to a verified neighbor who lives near you, not to a national contractor network taking a cut on the way through.
New here? You don't have a guy yet.
No regular handyman, no plumber's number saved, nobody to call. Post it and the nearest verified neighbor takes it — that's the whole address book you need.

The movers won't take it
Make the nagging stop.
The couch, the grill, the treadmill in the basement. The moving company quoted it separately or flat refused, and the lease is up either way. Post the haul, set the reward, and someone with a truck takes it.

The shelf still in the box. The TV leaning against the wall. The door that sticks. It was never hard, it was never at the top of the list, and it's been there since spring. Name a number and it's gone this week.

Old tenant out Friday, new one in Monday. You need the place cleaned, the yard cut and the small stuff fixed, without putting anyone on payroll for it. One bounty per job, paid when each is done.

Safety
How Bounty keeps you safe.
The honest answer to “can I trust a stranger with this?” is that you don't have to. Six things do the trusting for you.
Your money is held up front
Stripe takes the payment the moment you post and holds it there, untouched, while the work happens.
It only moves when you say so
The hunter is paid after you confirm the job is complete. Not before.
Everyone is ID-verified
Government ID, front and back, before anyone can post or claim a bounty.
Ratings go both ways
Posters and hunters rate each other after every task, so reputation is visible before you pick.
A real person settles disputes
Funds stay frozen while both sides submit evidence and a human reviews it. You can appeal.
Listings are moderated
Bounties are screened and swept for anything prohibited, and removed when they cross the line.
If a task can't be completed, you can get your money back. Every step is logged: escrow, evidence, review, appeal.

What's it worth?
Not sure what to offer?
The main reason people stall is not knowing what's fair. Tap a task to see the going local rate, then post it.
Typical local range
Lawn mowing
$35 – $60
Suggested reward
$50
Estimates only. You set the final reward, and $5 is the only floor.
Free to post
A flat 3% once the task is completed, with no subscription and no lead fees.
No clock running
Hourly apps get paid more the longer it takes. You set one number and that's it.
$10 off your first
Referred by a friend? Your first bounty gets $10 off, and they get $10 when it's done.
What the other apps add on top
- TaskRabbit adds ~15% plus a $9.95 booking fee, on an hourly meter.
- Thumbtack sells your lead to 4–8 pros for $10–$200 each.
- Bounty adds 3%. That's it.
Side by side: Bounty vs TaskRabbit · Bounty vs HandIt
Bounty is for one-off tasks on your terms, not ongoing arrangements with one provider. If you need a standing weekly appointment, a traditional service probably fits better.

Real neighbors. Real bounties.

Good questions
Before you post.
What can I post a bounty for?
Almost any legitimate task — yard work, moving and hauling, furniture assembly, TV mounting, cleaning, tutoring, photography, repairs, deliveries, or online work. If it's legal and someone nearby can do it, post it. $5 is the only floor.
How much does Bounty cost?
It's free to post. When a task is completed, Bounty adds a flat 3% — no subscription, no lead fees, no hourly meter. You set the reward; 3% is the only thing added on top.
When does the hunter get paid?
Your payment is held by Stripe from the moment you post, and only released after you confirm the task is complete, so the work is finished to your satisfaction before anyone is paid.
Is everyone on Bounty verified?
Yes. Every user completes ID verification (front and back of a government ID) before they can post or claim a bounty. Both sides are rated after every task, so reputation is visible at a glance.
Where is Bounty available?
Bounty is live in Washington, DC and the surrounding DMV area — Northern Virginia and Maryland. Online bounties can be claimed from anywhere. We're expanding city by city.
What if something goes wrong?
Funds stay frozen while both sides submit evidence and a real person reviews the dispute. If the task can't be completed, you can get your money back. Every step is logged — escrow, evidence, review, and an appeal if you need one.
What if nobody claims it?
Then you haven't spent anything. Your money is held, not taken, and it comes back to you in full if the bounty expires unclaimed. So far every bounty posted in the DMV has been claimed and completed — but if yours is sitting, raising the reward or adding a line of detail is usually what moves it.
Do I need the app to post?
No. You can post a bounty from this page without an account: describe the task, set the reward, and pay. We email your sign-in link straight after so you can pick your hunter and message them.
For hunters
Good with your hands? Get paid for it.
Free afternoon and a useful skill? See what people nearby are paying for, claim what fits your schedule, and get paid as soon as the poster confirms it's done.
No shifts, no boss
Pick up bounties when it suits you. Skip the ones that don't.
Keep what you agreed
Flat 3%, paid out through Stripe. The number you claimed is the number you get.
Funded before you start
The poster's money is already held. You're never working on a promise.
Who's behind Bounty
Built by people who needed it.
Bounty started when its founders kept watching capable people get stuck between jobs they couldn't take and work that clearly needed doing.
The tools out there either niched you into one category or treated you like a lead to be sold. Bounty is the on-ramp they wished existed: post almost any task, set your price, and a verified neighbor picks it up.
Ambassadors
Know someone who's been putting something off?
Tell them. When they post a real job and it gets done, you get $10. That's the whole program, and the $10 arrives once the work is finished.
Where your link lives
Your personal referral link lives in the ambassador panel inside the app. That's the one that tracks back to you, so grab the app, sign in, and share it from there.
What an ambassador earns
If you're sharing a link with an audience, you're on the ambassador rates. There is no cap.
- $5 per bounty posted
- $3 per bounty completed
- $1 per app download
10 posts + 20 completions = $110 that month, plus whatever the downloads add on top.
When you get paid
Once the work is confirmed done. Signing up doesn't trigger it, and neither does posting. Same rule as everything else here: money doesn't move until the work does.
Building an audience? Let's talk.
