Hire a trusted pro.Track them to your door.

A marketplace that connects people who need work done with verified service providers near them — house helps, cleaners, electricians, plumbers, mechanics, stylists and more. You hire, chat, track and pay in one app.

Signing up and browsing is free for both service providers and employers. When a Linkaz Pay job is paid, Linkaz takes a service fee from the service provider’s share — a percentage of the job amount, which varies by the type of work, and some periods are fee-free (sometimes a new pro’s first jobs too). The rate is fixed when the job is accepted, so it can’t change before you’re paid. Amounts are in whole shillings, and a fee that works out to part of a shilling is rounded up. On cash jobs the service provider owes Linkaz a cash fee, which also varies by the type of work and is fixed when they accept the job. Employers never pay a fee on top of the agreed price.

Your full names and a Kenyan phone number; an email address is optional and can be added later in the app. We verify your phone with an SMS code, and after that you log in with your phone number (or your email, if you added one). Service providers also pick their trade and pin where they work; employers can only find you in search once your location is set.

Nothing is paid before the job. When the service provider marks it done, the employer has 48 hours to pay the agreed amount through the app, or report a problem for a moderator to settle. Linkaz keeps its fee and sends the rest straight to the service provider’s M-Pesa or bank. An employer who doesn’t pay can’t book again until they do. Employers check the work before paying, so a paid job is final: there are no refunds after payment.

Yes. When you hire, you and the pro agree on Linkaz Pay or cash. Cash is paid directly to the pro when the job is done. The pro pays Linkaz a fee on it, never you. Cash payments can’t be disputed through Linkaz. A few job types are Linkaz Pay only, and the app tells you when that applies.

Every service provider proves their identity before appearing in search: a photo of their Kenyan ID and a selfie, checked automatically against each other, with one ID and one face allowed per account. Jobs in homes or behind the wheel also need a police clearance certificate or licence, which our moderators review. Ratings and completed-job history stay on the profile permanently.

Yes. Chat opens as soon as you find a pro, so you can agree on price, timing and what the job involves before any money moves.

Straight to M-Pesa or bank. When an employer pays with Linkaz Pay, your share is sent to your saved payout account, usually within minutes. You need a verified ID and a payout account to take Linkaz Pay jobs.

Every pro commits to an arrival time. If that time passes you can report a no-show — the hire is cancelled, you’ve paid nothing, and repeat no-shows lead to suspension.

Linkaz is live on Google Play for Android phones: search for Linkaz or scan the QR code on this page. The iPhone app arrives on the App Store on 1 January.

Across Kenya — all 47 counties. Wherever you are, you see the verified pros who can reach you.

In the app, go to Settings → Delete account and confirm with your password, or use linkaz.co.ke/delete-account. We close it within 30 days, once any hires in progress are finished or cancelled and money owed either way is settled, and send you an SMS when it is done. Your name, phone number, photos and documents are removed; hire and payment records are kept as Kenyan law requires. Closing an agency account closes the agency too.
