For support workers who run their own business.
Hireup connects participants with support workers through its platform and handles a lot for you — including taking its place between you and the people you support. Solodesk is for the sole trader on their own ABN who wants to keep the relationship and the rate.
Two different choices
Hireup is a genuinely good option if you’d rather notrun a business — it handles matching, payments, and a lot of the admin, and that convenience is the point. The flip side is that you’re working through the platform rather than building something of your own.
Solodesk assumes the opposite. You’ve got your own ABN, your own participants, and you want the back-office without anyone sitting in the middle of your relationships or taking a cut of each hour. We hand you the pack and the daily tools; you keep everything else.
If you’re weighing “join a platform” against “run my own thing,” that’s the real decision — not which app has more buttons.
Side by side
Based on Hireup’s publicly described platform-employment model. Both products change — check current terms before deciding.
