Ugig is a student-to-student gig marketplace built from the ground up for college life. Whether you need your furniture assembled, your car detailed, a ride to the airport, help studying for an exam, or someone to run an errand — Ugig connects you with a verified student on your campus who can get it done. And if you're the one doing the tasks, Ugig is your earning platform: set your own prices, work your own hours, and get paid directly to your bank account.
Post any task you need completed — big or small. Set a max budget you're comfortable with. Taskers on your campus will see your post and apply with their asking price and a personal message. You review their profile, ratings, and verified background check status, then choose who to hire. Funds are held securely until the job is done — you're never charged until you're satisfied. After the task, you leave a review that helps the whole community.
Sign up, build your profile, list your skills, and pass a background check. Then browse open tasks near you, filtered by category, pay range, and distance. Apply to the ones that fit your schedule with your own asking price — you're never locked into someone else's rate. Once hired, do the work, mark it complete, and get paid out straight to your bank account via Stripe. Build your reputation with reviews and earn more over time.
Every Tasker goes through a background check before they can accept any work on the platform. Hirers and Taskers both have public profiles with visible ratings and review histories. Nothing is anonymous — you always know exactly who you're dealing with. Our admin team monitors disputes and can step in if anything goes wrong. Safety isn't a feature — it's the foundation.
We're launching first at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, then expanding to UGA, KSU, UA, Auburn, and beyond. The platform is built by students who understand campus life — we know the ugig, the tight budgets, and the need for flexible income. Ugig is free to join. No subscriptions. No hidden fees. We only take a small service fee when a task is completed — so we succeed when you succeed.
Ugig uses Stripe — the same payment infrastructure trusted by Amazon, Shopify, and millions of businesses — to handle all money movement on the platform. Here's exactly how your money is protected at every step.
When a Tasker is hired, the agreed amount is charged to the Hirer's card and held in escrow by Ugig.
The money sits in a secure Stripe escrow account. Neither party can touch it until the task is marked complete.
The Hirer marks the task done (or Ugig confirms after a dispute review). This triggers the payout.
Stripe sends the Tasker's earnings directly to their connected bank account, usually within 2 business days.
Ugig charges a small service fee on each completed transaction. This is how we keep the platform running, fund background checks, and handle dispute resolution. The fee is always shown upfront — no surprises, no hidden charges, ever.
If a Tasker doesn't show up, doesn't complete the work, or the job goes wrong, Hirers can open a dispute. Ugig reviews the case and can issue a full or partial refund. Your money is never just handed over blindly — you're protected until you confirm the work is done.
Taskers connect their bank account securely through Stripe Connect. Your banking info is stored and protected by Stripe — Ugig never sees or stores it. Payouts are fast, reliable, and land directly in your account within 2 business days.
Hirers post a maximum budget. Taskers apply with their own asking price — which can be at or below that max. If prices align, Ugig confirms the match. No one is forced into a rate they didn't agree to. It's negotiation made simple and automatic.
Every Tasker is vetted before they can accept work. You know who's showing up.
Money is held by Ugig and only released when the task is marked complete.
Both sides leave ratings after every job. No fake scores, no inflated reputations.
Starting at UAB and expanding — built by students, for students.
