Verkform vs Handyhand
A fixed annual price vs. a percentage of every single job
Handyhand brokers jobs between private customers and the people who can carry them out. Posting a job is free for the customer, and the platform earns from a service fee deducted from what you are paid.
Verkform brokers nothing. We give you your own website, which customers find and contact directly — no middleman, and no fee taken out of what you earn.
The difference is not just price but direction: one costs more the better things go. The other costs the same regardless.

Handyhand can fill gaps — but it is not where you build a business
If you have a quiet week, a job platform is a quick way to get something into the diary. But every job costs you a percentage, and the customer remembers the platform rather than you.
Your own website works the other way round: it costs the same every month and becomes worth more the more customers have been happy with your work.
Verdict
Handyhand is honestly enough positioned as the cheaper alternative to hiring a tradesperson. If you take on small jobs and want to fill gaps, it can make sense.
If you are building a firm customers come back to, a percentage is the wrong way to pay. DKK 7,000 excl. VAT a year costs the same whether you do ten jobs or a hundred — and the customer ends up with you, not with a platform.
Ofte stilte spørsmål
What does Handyhand cost me as the person doing the work?
They state themselves a service fee that falls as your tier rises: 20 % on Bronze, 16 % on Silver, 12,8 % on Gold and 10,2 % on Platinum. The fee is deducted from the price of the job.
What does Verkform cost by comparison?
Verkform costs DKK 7,000 excl. VAT a year (DKK 8,750 incl. VAT) regardless of turnover. There are no per-job fees and no commission.
Can I use both?
Yes. Plenty of people do. The platform can fill gaps in the diary, while the website builds up the customers who come straight to you next time.
Who owns the customer relationship?
With Verkform it is yours: the customer has found your site, your number and your email. On a platform, contact goes through the platform.
