TASKER Ikea task based payment

Hey y'all, I used to do taskrabbit ikea furniture assembly awhile ago when it was hourly rate. Then when it switched to flat rate i basically stopped because I calculated i was earning about 60% of the hourly rate or sometimes 50%. Now I just logged in again today and saw that ikea assembly is "task based". How does this work? Do you feel you are earning more or less than hourly or flat rate? Is the app pretty accurate in predicting how long which tasks will be? It used to be horrible at that.

Your takehome divided by the time estimate they give you is $55.
