Launching in Halifax, NS

Someone cancelled. That’s your opening.

PROMPT matches you with barbers, tradespeople, cleaners, and 20+ other local pros who have a genuine gap in the next 24 hours — flat $1 fee, no calling around, no waiting on hold.

The last-minute gap is a market, not an inconvenience.

For clients

Three screens between “I need this today” and “done.”

  1. PROMPT search screen showing nearby providers with live 24-hour availability

    Search what you need, not who's on the clock

    Filter by service, distance, and price. PROMPT only surfaces providers with a real, unbooked gap in the next 24 hours — not a general availability calendar.

  2. PROMPT booking confirmation screen with flat-fee pricing breakdown

    Lock the slot before someone else does

    One flat $1 booking fee, shown up front. No membership, no per-service commission stacked on top of the provider's price.

  3. PROMPT dashboard screen with live booking status

    Track it like a delivery, not a guess

    Live status from confirmed to en route to complete. If a provider cancels, PROMPT rematches automatically inside the same window.

For providers

A cancellation shouldn’t cost you the whole slot.

  • Fill the gap, keep the day

    A cancellation two hours out doesn't have to be a write-off. PROMPT pushes it to nearby clients actively looking in your window.

  • One flat fee, every time

    $1 per booking. Not 15–30% like the directory apps — see the breakdown below.

  • Casual or certified, your call

    List as a Red Seal tradesperson or a casual side-gig provider. Verification badges make the distinction clear to clients up front.

FAQ

Questions worth answering up front

How is $1 the whole fee?

It's a flat per-booking charge to the provider, not a percentage cut of the job. A $200 job and a $20 job both cost the provider $1 to fill through PROMPT — a simple flat fee, not a sliding scale.

What happens if my provider cancels?

PROMPT rematches you inside the same 24-hour window automatically, using the same filters you set — no restarting the search from scratch.

Is this only for certified tradespeople?

No. PROMPT lists both Red Seal–certified professionals (electricians, engineers, carpenters) and casual providers (dog walkers, drivers, house cleaners) — each clearly badged so you know which one you're booking.

Which cities is PROMPT live in?

Halifax, Nova Scotia at launch, with expansion planned across the Maritimes as provider density grows.
