Since 1 September 2026, Amsterdam sent ツamsterdam 709 requests and got a name back 760 times, usually within the hour. Massage leads by a distance with 409 requests. A cleaner comes second with 100 and a handyman third with 84. More than 500 people in the city offer something.
Below is everything we counted, and at the end what we do not know.

The rows do not add up to 709. The rest are kinds too small or too odd for a row: a flute teacher, a piano teacher for adult beginners, a bicycle mechanic for a bottom bracket, jiu jitsu private lessons.
Names outnumber requests. One reason: an asker who says no gets another name.
Who was named most?
For the three big trades, the four people named most often. Massage had 36 different people, cleaning 12 and handyman work 31.
| Trade | Name | Named | Said yes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Massage | Saranya | 43 | 9 |
| Massage | Aline | 30 | 5 |
| Massage | Erika | 30 | 22 |
| Massage | Freya | 29 | 20 |
| Cleaner | Jay | 40 | 27 |
| Cleaner | Patricia | 25 | 14 |
| Cleaner | Jessica | 25 | 11 |
| Cleaner | Leila | 22 | 13 |
| Handyman | Kevin | 27 | 11 |
| Handyman | Thawany | 11 | 9 |
| Handyman | Kadir | 10 | 8 |
| Handyman | Conor | 8 | 3 |
"Said yes" means the asker accepted the name. It is not a rating and not a star. It is a count.
Who gets named is not for sale. Sorry.
Which neighbourhoods asked?
We counted the neighbourhood askers mentioned themselves. Not everyone mentions one, so this is not a count of all requests.
Massage: Oost 18, West 17, Amstelveen 7, IJburg 6, Zuid 5, Nieuw-West 5, Rivierenbuurt 4, Watergraafsmeer 4, Diemen 4, Noord 3, Zuidoost 3, Jordaan 2, Slotervaart 2, Oud-Zuid 1.
Cleaner: IJburg 27, Zuid 9, Oost 8, Noord 5, De Pijp 4, Schinkelbuurt 4, NDSM 4, Centrum 3, Amstelveen 3, West 1.
Handyman: Zuid 9, IJburg 6, Oost 4, Amstelveen 3, Jordaan 2, Zuidoost 1.
IJburg wins for cleaners. That does not mean it is dirtier there. Part of it is a cat hotel that wanted help for 3 hours a day and mentioned IJburg.
What do the requests look like?
Ordinary, mostly. The most common massage request is a relaxation massage. Deep tissue and massage at home come up too. For cleaners it is a one off clean of 3 hours, a weekly or biweekly cleaner, someone who speaks English, or turnovers for an Airbnb. For a handyman it is general repairs and odd jobs, and also light fixtures, plaster repair, a painter, a new wardrobe to assemble and an oak dining table to restore.
What does ツamsterdam not know?
Two things, and they are big.
Prices paid. ツamsterdam names a person and steps back. You agree and pay each other directly, so we never see the final amount. Some askers mention an amount in their message, but that is a hope, not a price.
Goods. Sofas, bikes, strollers, wardrobes and winter coats are new in ツamsterdam. There are no numbers on them yet, so there are none here.
We also do not know how the job went. "Said yes" is where our count stops.
In short
709 requests since 1 September, 760 names given, usually within the hour. Massage 409, cleaner 100, handyman 84. Prices paid and goods: unknown.
