## What is Dibs?

Know what your job is actually worth.

Post a home job once — roof repair, plumbing, HVAC, painting, yard work, cleaning — and licensed local businesses send you sealed quotes, usually the same day. Compare rating and reviews above price, message the ones you like, and award the job to the business you trust.

POSTING IS FREE, ALWAYS
Describe the job, add photos (a quick video helps), and it goes to local pros in that trade. No calling around, no salesmen at the door.

SEALED QUOTES
Only you see the quotes on your job. Businesses never see each other's numbers, so every quote is a real price — not one designed to beat someone else's.

PICK BY REPUTATION, NOT JUST PRICE
Every business has a page: ratings from real Dibs jobs, years in business, previous work, and the licensing and insurance they affirm for their trade — reviewed by our team before they can quote.

YOUR MONEY DOESN'T MOVE UNTIL IT'S DONE
When you award a job, payment is held securely through Stripe and released only when you mark the job complete. You pay exactly the quote — Dibs's fee is paid by the business.

RUN A SERVICE BUSINESS?
Create your business page, pick your trade, and once you're approved, real local jobs show up in your Find work feed. Quoting is free — you pay a small fee only when you win the job.

Live in Utah, Idaho and Virginia.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.0 — 2026-09-16

Dibs grew up. Post a home job once and licensed local businesses send you sealed quotes — you compare rating and price and pick who you trust. Payment stays held until the job's done. Businesses: create your page, get approved, and quote for free — you pay only when you win.

• Post any home job free — roofing, plumbing, electrical, heating and air, painting, landscaping, cleaning, junk hauling, and more
• Sealed quotes: only you see the quotes on your job; businesses never see each other's numbers
• Every quote shows the business's rating, reviews, and page above the price
• Award a quote and your payment is held securely until you mark the job complete
• New business accounts: business page, trade filters, and a Find work feed of real local jobs
• Photos and a short video on every post so quotes are accurate
• A fresh look for both homeowners and businesses

### 3.3 — 2026-08-25

Dibs 3.3 — our biggest update yet

• An all-new look: smooth glass design, fresh animations, and crisp new icons on every screen
• Show off what you're good at — pick your skills (or add your own) and posters see them right on your job requests
• New public profile with a progress bar, one-tap quick answers, and a Preview button that shows exactly what neighbors see
• Posters can now see how many neighbors viewed their job
• Clearer payments — know exactly when and how you get paid, with a quick 30-second payout setup
• A refreshed welcome tour, faster feel, and lots of polish and bug fixes

### 3.2 — 2026-08-14

What's in 3.2 now:

The new sign-in you liked — 5-step wizard, progress bar, jade-green/white background, glass card with drifting particles, "Join the Dibs community of safety & convenience," dash-formatted phone, and the working "why are you joining" selector
The Profile crash fix
The nearby-jobs red badge (tab + app icon)
Apple Pay working, via the certificate you just registered
Dark-mode guest banner fix

### 3.1 — 2026-08-02

Fixed: some users on the latest version saw a "New version available" prompt that wouldn't go away. That's gone for good — the app now checks its real installed version.
Fixed: the jobs feed could show up empty even when jobs were waiting. Everything loads reliably again, old jobs and new.
Dark mode polish: the guest browsing banner is now easy to read in dark mode.
Never miss your moment. Turn on notifications right when they matter — get a ping the second a neighbor calls dibs on your job, or the second you're accepted for one.
Get verified faster. The blue check now comes at 3 posted jobs for posters and 5 completed jobs for workers (with a 4-star rating) — and your profile shows exactly how close you are.
Keep the momentum. When you finish and rate a job, Dibs asks what's next on your list so you can post it in two taps.
Smarter, more respectful notifications. We now ask about notifications only when they'd genuinely help you, not the moment the app opens.
Includes everything from 3.0: hourly jobs end to end, automatic settle-up, and clearer payment breakdowns.
Thanks for using Dibs. Post a job, or earn cash near you.

### 3.0 — 2026-08-01

- Hourly jobs now work end to end. Post a job with an hourly rate and your estimated hours — you pay for the estimate when you accept a worker, just like a flat-rate job.
- Fair, automatic settle-up. When you mark an hourly job done, enter the actual hours worked. Worked less than estimated? The difference is refunded to you automatically. Worked more? Your card on file covers the extra — no awkward money talk.
- Workers are paid for actual time. Hourly workers get paid for the real hours they put in, held safely in escrow until the job is done, same as always.
- Clearer payment breakdowns when you accept a worker on an hourly job, so you always know exactly what you're paying and why.
- Polish and reliability fixes.
