# GigCheck

GigCheck is a free, static, in-browser directory of online work and remote-earning platforms relevant to people in Kenya (AI training, freelancing, transcription, testing, remote jobs, microtasks, job boards, and training programmes).

Website: https://importcost-agh.pages.dev/gigcheck/

## What it is

- 35 platform dossiers, each with work type, typical pay, Kenya eligibility, payout methods, and scam warnings.
- Facts were checked on official help, legal, careers, or product pages on 12 November 2026 (Africa/Nairobi).
- Pay rates and country rules are quoted only when the company (or, for Remotasks, contemporaneous news of the Kenya exit) published them. Anything else is labelled unconfirmed.
- Filters and search run entirely in the browser. There is no account, no backend, and no AI call at runtime.

## Paid offer

- Name: Kenya Online Work Starter Pack (PDF)
- Price: USD 5 / KSh 650 (both currencies are the published price)
- What it is: a short guide to Kenya-open platforms, application and KYC steps, payout routes that can reach Kenya, and scam red flags
- Buy: https://importcost-agh.pages.dev/gigcheck/#pricing
- Checkout is not yet live; orders go by email until a checkout link is added.
