Get matched
Verified partners respond. Transparent pricing. No surprises.
A trading system where members earn credit by giving an hour of help and spend it on an hour of someone else's — time is the currency.
Circles work from about ten members; past a few hundred, most split by neighborhood to keep trades personal.
No — both sides just have to agree the swap is fair, and many circles let members sweeten a deal with extra goods or time.
