How it works

Two ways in, one platform

Employing keeps the price, the payment and the records connected. Helpore Flex is not open yet.

If you need a Helper

  1. Search by service and place

    Choose the service and enter your address, postcode or city. You see verified profiles that cover your area.

  2. Compare at a price you see first

    Rates, availability and visible checks side by side. The full price is shown before you confirm.

  3. Your Helper confirms the request

    Once Helpore Flex opens: with a card, the amount is authorised when you send the request and charged only when the Helper confirms, and until then you cancel free of charge. With TWINT, it is charged at once and refunded in full if the Helper declines.

If you already have someone

  1. Bring the Helper you already know

    Invite the Helper you already have for a clearer, more transparent working relationship. Their profile stays private unless they choose to make it public.

  2. Choose Helpore Admin or Helpore Admin Light

    Sign the contract, and the authorization if Helpore should handle the money and the filings for you.

  3. Every month runs itself

    Payroll, payslips and contributions are run for you on Helpore Admin, or prepared for you to pay on Helpore Admin Light.

Prefer your phone?

The documents, the monthly administration and the payment records for your Helper are in your Helpore account, on the web and in the Helpore app.

What households ask before starting

Clear answers on finding a Helper and managing the employment with Helpore.

Is Helpore the employer?

No. Your household is the legal employer of your Helper. Helpore prepares the payroll records and documents and carries out the administration you agree to, under the authorization you give.

What is the difference between Helpore Flex, Helpore Admin Light and Helpore Admin?

Helpore Flex is hourly help from Helpers you find here, with no subscription and the full price shown before you confirm. Flex is not open yet. Sign up for the waitlist and you receive one email on the day it opens. Helpore Admin Light gives one employment relationship its contract and the exact monthly wage calculation, while you do the registrations, filings and payments yourself. Helpore Admin runs the registration, payroll, contributions and insurance administration for you under your authorization. Both work for a Helper you already know.

Can I bring a Helper I already know?

Yes. If you already have a Helper, you can start directly with Helpore Admin Light or Helpore Admin. You do not need Flex for that. Your household remains the employer.

What if I find a Helper through Flex and want to keep them?

This step opens together with Flex. Until then it is on the waitlist: sign up and you receive one email on the day Flex opens. After that you can move your relationship with a Helper you found through Flex to Helpore Admin Light or Helpore Admin. If you already know your Helper, you do not need to wait for Flex.

Who sets the Helper’s hourly rate?

Helpers set their own rates. Helpore checks the applicable minimums and shows the full household price before confirmation.

What does the price include?

Flex shows one household total before you confirm, with the Helper’s pay, the employment amounts that apply and Helpore’s service fee. Helpore Admin is a separate flat subscription for the administration. The Helper’s wage, social security contributions, insurance premiums and other statutory employment costs stay separate and visible. All listed Helpore prices include VAT, to the extent it is owed.
