The Fairer Way to Hire
Local Service Professionals
Gygnus is a local services marketplace where customers post jobs free, compare trusted local providers, and pay only the agreed service price plus applicable taxes.
What is Gygnus?
Gygnus (gygnus.com) is a local services marketplace that connects customers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania with verified, background-checked service professionals.
Gygnus was built on a simple belief: the service industry charges too much. Many platforms charge providers per-lead fees before a job is even won, or require costly yearly memberships — even if the work never gets done.
Gygnus is free for customers to post jobs. Providers join, browse jobs, and send quotes free. When a paid job is completed, Gygnus keeps a 6% platform fee plus normal card/payment processing fees; the rest goes to the provider.
