Meet Jamie: A Typical Tribes Neighbor

"Last month I borrowed a pressure washer from Tom down the street - saved me $200. I lend out my camping gear all the time; it just sits in the garage otherwise.

I also do freelance photography on the side, and I've booked 3 sessions with neighbors who found me on Tribes. One client even paid me partly in homemade bread (best trade ever).

This is what I love about Tribes - I'm not just a 'user' or a 'provider.' I'm just... a neighbor. Some days I need help, some days I give it. That's how neighborhoods should work."

Common Questions

Tribes is completely free for neighbors. There are no membership fees, subscription costs, or hidden charges. You can borrow, lend, help, and offer services without ever paying to use the platform.

Casual help is when you help a neighbor occasionally - like pet sitting, moving assistance, or yard work. Professional services are skills you offer regularly as a business - like photography, web design, or tutoring. You can do both! Many neighbors offer casual help and professional services.

You and your neighbor agree on the exchange terms. Maybe you trade photography for tax help, or lend your pressure washer in exchange for homemade cookies. Cash, trade, barter, or free - you decide what works for each exchange.

Tribes encourages open communication and community accountability. Borrowers are expected to return items in the same condition (or replace/repair if damaged). Our rating system helps build trust, and you can always choose who to lend to based on their reputation.

Absolutely! That's the whole point. You're not stuck in one category - you're a neighbor who might lend camping gear, need a ladder, and offer photography services all in the same week. Use Tribes however fits your needs.

Every neighbor is address-verified to ensure they actually live in your community. Ratings and reviews from past exchanges help you see who's reliable. Start with lower-stakes exchanges to build trust, and check reviews before lending valuable items.
