FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Jiffy and Khench?

Jiffy uses fixed-price service packages — you pick a service, Jiffy sets the rate. Khench is a reverse-auction marketplace — you set the budget and local providers compete with live bids. Khench typically yields lower prices because providers compete in real time, while Jiffy's package model standardizes everything.

Where does Jiffy operate vs Khench?

Jiffy operates primarily in the GTA and some major Canadian cities. Khench covers all 13 Canadian provinces and territories — 261 cities and growing.

Why would I choose Khench over Jiffy?

Three reasons: (1) you set your own budget instead of accepting a fixed package price; (2) more service categories — Khench includes towing, snow removal, and custom jobs Jiffy doesn't offer; (3) wider Canadian coverage. Khench is also free for customers with no booking fees.

When does Jiffy make more sense?

Jiffy can be a good fit if you want a predictable fixed-price for standard residential services in major cities and you don't want to compare bids. Khench is better if you want a chance at lower prices, broader Canadian coverage, or services like snow removal and towing.

Is Khench safe to use for booking home services?

Yes. All payments are held securely via Stripe and released to the provider only when you confirm the job is complete. Providers can submit insurance and license documents for review. You have 48 hours after completion to raise a dispute if anything goes wrong.

Set your own budget. Let providers compete.
