Rent what you need. Earn from what you don't.
TryStuffs connects you with people nearby who have the gear, tools, and equipment you want to try. Affordable hourly sessions, secure payments, and real reviews from real people.
Try before you buy
Stop wasting money on gear you might not like. Try it first for a fraction of the purchase price.
Browse & Discover
Search the items available near you. Filter by category, price, distance, and ratings. Find exactly what you want to try.
Book a Session
Choose a time that works. Most sessions are hourly with the owner present. Pay securely through the platform — your payment is protected.
Meet the Owner
Meet at the agreed location. The owner will show you how to use the item and answer any questions. Most meetups happen in public places.
Try It Out
Use the item for your session. Test the camera, fly the drone, paddle the kayak — experience it before you commit to buying your own.
Rate & Review
Leave an honest review to help the community. Both renters and owners rate each other, building trust for everyone.
Earn from what you own
Your gear is sitting in the garage. Someone nearby wants to try it. List it and start earning.
List Your Item
Snap a few photos, add a description, and set your price. Our AI can even suggest titles, categories, and pricing from your photos.
Accept Bookings
Get notified when someone wants to try your stuff. Accept requests or enable instant booking to let renters book automatically.
Meet & Share
Meet the renter at your chosen location. Show them how to use the item. Most sessions are owner-present, so you stay in control.
Get Paid
Receive your full listing price via Stripe after each session — the renter pays the service fee on top. Taking cash instead? The renter hands you the same total and we bill the fee to your saved card, so you still net your listed price.
Build Your Reputation
Earn great reviews and build a track record. Top-rated owners get more bookings and can charge premium prices.
Simple, transparent pricing
We charge a service fee on every booking. It is added on top of the owner's price rather than deducted from it, so the owner is paid the full amount they set, and the fee shrinks as the rental rate rises. Pay-in-person bookings cost the renter exactly the same — they hand the owner the full total in cash, and we bill the service fee to the owner's saved card.
| Rental Rate | Service Fee | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Under $15 | 18% | $5 rate → $0.90 fee |
| $15 to under $50 | 15% | $25 rate → $3.75 fee |
| $50 to under $200 | 12% | $100 rate → $12 fee |
| $200 and up | 10% | $300 rate → $30 fee |
Service fees are always shown before you confirm a booking. No hidden charges.
Trust & Safety
We've built safety into every step of the experience.
Secure Payments
All payments processed through Stripe with bank-level encryption. Your financial data never touches our servers.
Verified Profiles
Real people with real reviews. See ratings, past activity, and trust scores before you book.
Meet in Person
Owner-present sessions by default. Meet in public locations. Both parties see each other's profiles before meeting.
Optional Deposits
Owners can require security deposits for high-value items. Deposits are authorized but not charged unless needed.
Two-Way Reviews
Both owners and renters rate each other after every session. Reviews are hidden until both sides submit — no retaliation.
In-App Messaging
Communicate safely through the platform. Contact info is filtered from pre-booking messages to protect both parties.
