Free Thumbtack
Service Agreement
Thumbtack is shamelessly double-dipping into your bank account by charging a monthly subscription while forcing you to swallow the 3% credit card processing tax. Stop acting like a volunteer for the banks and start keeping the full amount you actually quoted your clients.
Pro Contractor Tip
When ditching Thumbtack, ensure your new service agreements explicitly state that a 3.9% technology fee applies to all credit card transactions to stay fully compliant while passing the cost to the client.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Thumbtack, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does MicroFreelanceHub stop the 'double-dipping' found on Thumbtack?
Thumbtack charges you a fee to use the platform AND makes you pay the credit card fees; we offer a Pass-Through Fee toggle that adds the 3.9% processing cost to the client's bill so you net 100% of your project price.
Will my clients be upset about paying the 3.9% processing fee?
Most clients view it as a standard convenience fee for using a credit card, and it saves you from having to bake 'invisible' costs into your quotes, allowing you to stay more competitive on your base pricing.
How much more money will I actually take home compared to staying on Thumbtack?
If you bill $50,000 a year, Thumbtack's model costs you $1,500 in processing fees alone; with MicroFreelanceHub, you keep that $1,500 in your pocket and pay only a flat subscription fee.
