myservice.is
Post what you offer, jobs, tasks or things for sale, and share them with friends. Payment happens directly between people.
myservice.is is a person-to-person marketplace for services, jobs, one-off tasks and items. Users post a listing, share it with friends and contacts, and are paid directly in the way they choose, from bank transfer to GCash or MobilePay. The platform never handles the money. It earns from Plus, Pro and Business subscriptions.

The problem
- Small service providers rely on Facebook groups where posts disappear in hours.
- Marketplaces take a commission on every job and own the customer relationship.
- Sharing an offer with your own network means copying text into many chats.
The product
A listing site and app where every offer, job, task, sale or wanted post has its own share page with link preview. Users invite friends from their phone (contacts are matched on the device and never stored), list the payment methods they accept and get paid directly. Browse by list, map or swipe.
- Post an offer, job, task, item for sale or wanted ad.
- Share the listing link with friends and contacts.
- Interested people reply in the app.
- Payment happens directly between the two, in the method the seller lists.
- Power users upgrade for more listings, storage and company profiles.
Who pays and why
Business model
| Revenue line | Price | Notes |

| Free | $0 | 3 listings, 10 MB. |
| Plus | $2.99 / month | More listings and storage. |
| Pro | $6.99 / month | Power sellers. |

No commission on deals, so users have no reason to take the conversation elsewhere.
Market and targets
The gig and informal service economy is large in every country, and in many markets it runs on social media groups. A free, commission-free tool that works in several languages and with local payment apps can grow anywhere people already sell to their network.
Targets are planning assumptions.
