Try it

Write a job in three steps

The same three questions the app asks. Nothing is sent anywhere — this builds a card and puts it on the board above.

DemoSample data, so you can try the marketplace before launch. These are not real posts or real people.
  1. Describe

    A sentence is enough. Pick the category it belongs to.

  2. When

    The app's three states, and the only three it has.

  3. Budget

    What you expect to pay. Providers can still quote above or below it.

    KES 1,200
    KES 300KES 2,700

    Estimate — plumbing jobs in Mombasa are usually budgeted around KES 800 to 1,500.

Post what you need. Providers come to you.

Write the job, set a budget, and wait. Providers near you send an offer with their own price, and you pick — nobody starts work before you have agreed a number.

The difference

One leaking sink, two ways to solve it

Asking around, and hoping

DemoAn illustration, not a transcript. The thread and the posts are both written for this page.
  1. Aunty, do you still have the number for that plumber who did your sink?
  2. Let me look. I think I deleted it when I changed phone 🙈
  3. Anyone else? The cabinet is getting wet
  4. Try Kevin. He did my neighbour's tap. 07XX XXX XXX
  5. Hi Kevin, my sink is leaking in Bamburi. How much?
  6. Hello?Delivered — no reply
  7. Two days later, he arrives and says it will be more than he said on the phone.

You end up with one number, no idea what the job should cost, and a quote that can change once he has seen it.

Payment protection

Your money waits where neither of you can reach it

Drag through what happens to KES 1,500 from the moment you agree a price to the moment the provider is paid.

KES 1,500Agreed

You accept an offer at KES 1,500. That is the number — it does not move once the provider has seen the job.

In the app

Posted here, finished in the app

  1. Discover

    Everything happening near you

    Requests and offers from your own area in one feed, each with its category, how soon it is needed and what it pays. The same board you have been playing with at the top of this page.

    The Help24 Discover feed: a search field, All / Requests / Offers filters, and cards for a catering request in Mtwapa and a welding offer in Mombasa showing budgets and Offer Service and Enquire buttons.
  2. Post

    Say what kind of post it is

    Request a service, offer one, or advertise a job. The app asks only the questions that apply to your answer — a plumbing request and a driving job are not the same form.

    The Help24 posting screen asking What would you like to do, with three choices: Request a Service, Offer a Service, and Post a Job.
  3. Chat

    Sort out the details in the thread

    The job is pinned to the top of the conversation, so neither of you has to remember which one this is. Directions, photos and an arrival notice when they reach you — none of it lost in a WhatsApp scroll.

    A Help24 chat between a customer and a provider, with the job pinned above the messages and an Arrived notice from the provider.
  4. Payment

    The money goes in before the work starts

    You pay by M-Pesa and Help24 holds it until the job is done. The cost, the fee and the total are all on the screen before you authorise anything — nothing is added afterwards.

    The Help24 payment screen: service cost, platform fee and total to secure, a note that an M-Pesa prompt will be sent, and a Pay Securely button.

Where

Mombasa, Nairobi and Kisumu first

The app carries every Kenyan city, all 47 county headquarters and the neighbourhoods of the big urban centres — but these three are where the launch effort is going, and where the sample posts on this page come from.
