What is Alleygig?
Alleygig is a neighbourhood-help marketplace planned for Canada and the United States. Customers would request everyday help nearby. Helpers would offer that help.
Which services will be offered?
Planned services include snow clearing, battery boosts and spare-tire swaps. Fuel drops are not available now. We are only looking into whether a limited fuel-drop option can be offered later. We cannot promise that fuel drops will be offered in any area. Vehicle lockouts are not offered.
Are vehicle lockouts offered?
No. Vehicle lockouts are not offered.
Is it free to sign up?
Signing up is planned to be free for customers and for helpers.
How does the waitlist work?
There is one waitlist for Canada and the US. You can join as a customer or as a helper. Neighbourhoods are planned to open by demand, once enough customers and helpers have signed up there. We can’t promise a date or that a specific place will open.
Why do you ask for a postal code or ZIP?
We use your postal code or ZIP to know which neighbourhoods have enough sign-ups to open, and to plan where to launch first. You can join the waitlist from anywhere in Canada or the United States.
When will the app launch?
We’ll announce a launch date when we have one. Neighbourhoods are planned to open by demand. We can’t promise when that will be, or that a specific place will open.
How do payments and tips work?
You are planned to see one all-in price before you confirm a job. Payment details are still being planned, and prices will be shared before bookings begin. After a job is done, you can leave a tip if you want. Tips are planned to go 100% to the helper.
What is the founding offer for helpers?
A founding offer is proposed, subject to final terms: the first 50 helpers in each area would receive 3 commission-free jobs. We’ll share the final terms before anyone starts taking jobs.
I want to become a helper. What should I do?
Join the waitlist as a helper, include your postal code or ZIP, and tell us which services you can offer. We’ll be in touch as your neighbourhood gets ready. Requirements for helpers will be shared before anyone starts taking jobs.
Is a weather alert a booking?
No. A weather alert is not a booking. Bookings are planned to be made in the app after a neighbourhood opens.
Where can I read the privacy policy and terms?
A privacy note is on the Privacy Policy page. Draft notes about this website, which are not the app’s terms and are not in effect yet, are on the Terms of Use page.
How do I join or get updates?
Use the Join the Waitlist page, or the sign-up buttons on this site. Those buttons take you to the waitlist page. Sign-up opens soon, and the form is not taking sign-ups yet. We’ll announce when the form can take sign-ups. When email updates begin, they will include a way to opt out.
