Trustoo as a European alternative to Thumbtack
Trustoo is a company directory with ratings rather than a task marketplace. Customers contact companies for quotes, and companies can sign up through a business page.
Dutch customer service is open on weekdays between 9:00 and 17:00 by phone.
Points against
The pages we read do not show how Trustoo earns money, what companies pay or where data is hosted. The service range is broad, but the home page is in Dutch and country versions beyond the Netherlands were not checked. It is not built for small odd jobs, which Thumbtack also covers. Compare with Solvari for a similar Dutch quote model.
