Maine has some of the most rigorous worker classification laws in the country. That’s not a reason to skip it — it’s a reason to build something that earns the right to be here. We’re targeting Maine for 2028.
Platform Built & Tested
Maine Legal Research Underway
Building Compliant Model
2028 Launch
Maine applies the ABC Test and has an active — if small-scale — labor enforcement environment. This market needs additional legal and operational groundwork before launch. It's not impossible, just not a quick setup. We're targeting 2028.
Here’s what we want to say plainly: YoZombie exists to be fair to gig workers. Workers keep 100% of their pay. They choose every gig they accept. They’re never obligated to show up. That’s genuine independence — and it’s the same principle behind Maine’s worker protection laws. We’re not adversaries here. We’re building something those laws can support.
We believe a model can exist that genuinely works for gig workers, for businesses, and fully satisfies Maine’s legal requirements. Building it right takes time. We’re targeting 2028.
Portland's growing economy and Maine's mix of tourism, hospitality, and small business all represent real gig work demand. We'll get here. The demand for same-day flexible help in Maine is real. We’re committed to building a model that lets us serve that demand — compliantly.
Post a gig in under five minutes. Set the rate, the time, the task. Nearby independent gig workers in Maine see it in real time and choose to accept.
Maine gig workers deserve a platform that fights for them — including doing the legal work to operate here correctly. That’s what we’re doing.
Whatever rate is posted is what you earn. No percentage skimmed. Browse gigs near you in Maine, accept the ones that fit, skip the ones that don’t.
Maine has strict worker classification laws. We take them seriously. We’re not looking for workarounds — we’re building a model that works within them.
YoZombie’s mission — fairness to workers AND businesses — is the same instinct behind Maine’s worker protection laws. We believe both can be served.
We’d rather take the time to build a Maine-compliant model than rush a launch and get it wrong. Our workers and businesses deserve better than a legal mess.

Need something moved, hauled away, or picked up around your Maine home? Post a fixed-price residential gig — yard cleanup, garage clear-out, curbside pickup, hauling, or a small move — and a local gig worker handles it. You set one price up front, your address stays private until you accept a worker, and payment releases only when you confirm the work is done.

Yes. Alongside business gigs, YoZombie has a Personal / Residential side for Maine homeowners and renters. Post a fixed-price gig for an approved task around your home or property — yard cleanup, garage clear-out, curbside pickup, hauling, or a small move — and a local gig worker handles it. You set one price up front, your address stays private until you accept a worker, and payment releases only when you confirm the work is done.
YoZombie is targeting Maine for 2028. The state has some of the most rigorous worker classification laws in the country, which require a carefully structured independent contractor model before we can launch compliantly. We're committed to getting there — we're just not going to rush it. Join the waitlist at yozombie.com/states/maine to be notified when we're ready.
Maine businesses will be able to post a gig through the YoZombie app — set the task, rate, and time. Nearby independent gig workers see it and choose to accept. The business pays a flat fee of $12–$25 per gig slot. No payroll, no agency markup, no long-term commitments. Payment releases automatically via QR check-in.
Gig workers in Maine will keep 100% of the posted gig rate when YoZombie launches. YoZombie takes zero commission from worker pay. Workers are paid via Stripe Connect on Stripe’s standard payout schedule after completing a gig.
Maine has a more complex worker-classification environment. Building a careful, market-ready launch here takes real legal work. YoZombie's mission is to be fair to gig workers and businesses alike, which is the same principle behind Maine's worker protection laws. We believe the two are compatible. We're building toward it, targeting 2028.
YoZombie's 2028 rollout in Maine will focus on Portland, Lewiston, Bangor, and South Portland, with service expanding statewide as the network grows. Join the waitlist at yozombie.com/states/maine to be first in your city.
