Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LawnStarter at none against Taskrabbit's shown. LawnStarter also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Taskrabbit's advantage is chart position (#54 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
