Platform comparison

Fixt vs the usual marketplaces

Homeowners, fixers, and property workflows on one platform: AI, transparent bidding, and escrow.

AI diagnosis

Upload photos, get structured scope and ballpark pricing before you invite bids.

Flash bidding

Timed, capped competition so homeowners see real prices, not endless callbacks.

Escrow and trust

Funds move when milestones are met, clearer than pay-at-the-door marketplaces.

For homeowners and bookers

Transparency, competition, and protection before you hire.
