A services application is a web or mobile application that enables users to perform an activity that is not directly related to buying or selling a product or managing a commercial enterprise. Some examples of service applications include payroll solutions, expense management tools, and customer relationship management (CRM) software.
Services apps are often similar to other apps that provide assistance with everyday tasks, such as task and errand-running apps, hospitality apps, and transportation rental apps. TaskRabbit and Handy are the two most popular examples of services apps.

A services app is one that allows the user to find, hire, or otherwise connect with a third-party provider. A common strategy for growing these types of apps is to provide a platform that matches users with providers in a specific category. For example, a cleaning service can grow by offering cleaners who are verified by an independent agency, and it can also incentivize consumers by providing special deals on cleaning services.
A services app faces legal and reputational risks associated with user misrepresentation of identity, dangerous user encounters, the storage of sensitive personal information, and harassment taking place on the platform. Services apps should take strong measures to verify user identities and provide users with safety mechanisms for blocking other users and cancelling appointments. It is recommended that services apps provide robust mechanisms for reporting platform abuse and conduct routine security audits to prevent unauthorized access to user data.
