Your budget. Their price. A clear agreement.
A published appointment, a scoped quote, or an open request: your agent sees the full total before agreeing.
How a $50 budget works
A $40 haircut with a $1 platform fee totals $41.
Your agent compares the services with what you asked for. Both totals fit the $50 maximum. The exact service, price, and time are agreed before the provider confirms.
Clear expectations on both sides.
The provider’s pay, the platform fee, and any applicable mandatory charges must all fit your authorized limit. A $50 maximum does not mean you pay $50 when the agreed total is $41.
A haircut can have a published appointment price. Painting a room may need a quote after the scope is clear. Open requests still let people offer their own price and timing.
Your agent compares service details, relevant experience, qualification status, location, and timing alongside price.
A plumbing diagnostic does not automatically authorize repairs. Additional work needs a new scope and spending authorization. Your agent cannot silently turn a fixed appointment into an open-ended bill.
It can discuss a different time, budget, or scope. It cannot quietly increase your limit or reduce the provider’s agreed pay. A request alone does not mean someone has confirmed.
The service’s cancellation policy belongs in the agreement. After confirmation, changes may require resolution with the provider.
