FixSwap

Concept

Neighbors trade home help and tools

A neighborhood exchange for home help: lend and borrow tools, and swap skills and small jobs (a hand moving, a fix, painting) with people nearby — trade favors and tools instead of paying, or tip a little.

Competitors & how we’re different

TaskRabbit

Paid gigs; not neighborly trading or tool lending.

Nextdoor

Social, but no structured lending/swap system.

Asking a neighbor

Works, but limited and awkward to scale.
