With multiple home services apps now available in India, the choice isn't just about convenience — it's about trust, transparency and whether the professional who shows up actually knows what they're doing. We break down the key differences between the top platforms in India to help you make the right call.
The Main Home Service Platforms in India (2026)
The market broadly has two types: marketplaces (they connect you with independent contractors — quality varies widely) and managed services platforms (they hire, train and verify the professionals themselves — more consistent quality). Here's how the main players compare:
Feature-by-Feature Comparison
| Feature | HUNAR | Urban Company | Sulekha | Justdial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Professional background check | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | Partial | ✗ No |
| Fixed / transparent pricing upfront | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✗ No | ✗ No |
| Service warranty | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✗ No | ✗ No |
| Happiness guarantee / refund | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✗ No | ✗ No |
| Verified customer reviews | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | Partial | Partial |
| Same-day availability | ✓ Yes | Partial | Varies | Varies |
| Dedicated mobile app | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes |
| Customer support post-service | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | Limited | ✗ No |
💡 Justdial and Sulekha are primarily lead generation directories — they show you a list of businesses and you contact them yourself. The platform has no role in quality, pricing or accountability. HUNAR and Urban Company are managed platforms with accountability built in.
Pricing: Which App is Most Affordable?
Platforms with fixed pricing (HUNAR, Urban Company) tend to have higher listed prices than the rates you'd find through Sulekha or local contractors — but that's because the listed price includes verification, warranty, and accountability. Unverified cheap services often lead to poor quality, repeat problems, and hidden costs.
HUNAR positions itself as the most affordable managed platform — offering catalogue pricing that's 10–20% lower than Urban Company for equivalent services, while maintaining the same standard of professional verification.
