Pickle is a location-based mobile marketplace that matches freelance labor with tasks posted by other users. The platform allows users to negotiate how tasks are completed and payment, which is processed through PayPal.[1] Pickle takes a 10% commission from the both users in each transaction.[1]
One unique feature of the app is the ability to facilitate dares which users are then rewarded for completing.[1] Examples include shaving one's head or streaking in public.[2]
Pickle has been compared to rival services TaskRabbit and Handy,[3] however the integration of social media and commenting allows for more flexible transactions than an other services, according to the creators.[1]
