Competitor pricing as publicly listed by each platform. Subject to change. Listing counts and feature mixes vary — we've focused on the closest equivalent to a SideQuest Premium subscription.
Feature one of your listings at the top of the applicant feed for 7 days. Perfect for urgent hires — like staffing up for a busy weekend.
On the Free plan? Add one more active listing without committing to Premium. Stack as many as you need, cancel anytime.
If you're using SideQuest to find work, there's nothing to pay. Browse local gigs, build your profile, message employers, and apply — all at no cost. An optional Premium tier is available if you want unlimited applications and priority visibility.
No. Every new business account starts with a 30-day Premium trial automatically — no payment method required. When the trial ends, you'll be downgraded to Free unless you choose to subscribe.
Yes. Premium is month-to-month (or annual) with no contract. You can cancel directly from your iPhone's Subscriptions settings, and you'll keep Premium features until the end of your current billing period.
If you have more than 1 active listing when you drop to Free, your existing listings stay visible but you won't be able to publish new ones until you're back under the limit. You can also use Extra Listing Slot ($9.99/month) to keep additional listings active without re-subscribing to Premium.
Annual billing is $199/year — roughly 33% off the monthly price (effectively 4 months free). It renews once a year and can be cancelled anytime from your phone's Subscription settings.
Yes. All subscriptions and add-ons go through Apple's App Store, so billing, receipts, refunds, and cancellations all live in your iPhone's Settings → Subscriptions.
Possibly. As SideQuest grows, we may raise prices for new subscribers — but anyone already subscribed at a given price is locked in at that rate for the life of their subscription.
All refunds are handled by Apple, per their standard App Store refund policy. You can request a refund directly at reportaproblem.apple.com.
