What determines the hourly rate?
To provide you with quality Instawork Professionals (Pros), the hourly rate flexes (increases) to stay competitive in your local market. When you complete a booking, you agree you’re willing to pay this flexible hourly rate.
When hourly rates may flex:

Location of the shift
Last-minute requests (less than 24-hour advance notice)
Requests during peak days and times (e.g. holidays)
Flexible pricing enables you to rest assured that you’ll get the help you need, even when demand for Pros is high.

FAQs
What happened to the $10 or $20 booking fee?
As of January 3, 2022, we’ve removed the separate booking fee from our flexible pricing so we can simplify our pricing model. We've adjusted hourly rates in light of the separate booking fee removal. You'll only have to pay a single rate from now on. This applies to any shift booked on January 3, 2022 or later.
