How Plug Yangu works
Two short journeys — one for people who need work done, one for the professionals who do it.
Pick the journey that fits you
Switch between the two views — nothing else on the page changes.
Create your free account
Sign up with Google or your email in under a minute. Add the phone number you use for M-Pesa.
Install the app and get KSh 300 welcome creditTop up your wallet
Fund your wallet with M-Pesa STK Push — the prompt comes straight to your phone, no paybill numbers to copy.
Top-ups from KSh 100, no top-up feeSearch providers near you
Allow location access and see verified providers sorted by how close they are, with their quality score and reviews.
Send your request
Pick a provider and describe the job. The connection fee for that service is shown before you confirm and deducted from your wallet.
Connection fee: KSh 30 – KSh 300Chat and coordinate
Once the provider accepts, chat in the app to share your exact location, timing and any details. They navigate to you.
Rate the work
After the job, leave a rating and review. Your feedback feeds the provider quality score that everyone else sees.
Register as a provider
Create your provider account with email and password, then pick the service categories you actually work in.
Get verified
Upload your national ID and any trade certificates. Our team reviews every application before your profile can go live.
Required before you appear in searchGo online
Flip your availability to online and share your location. Clients searching in your area will now see you.
Receive requests
You are notified the moment a nearby client sends a request. Review the job and accept or decline before it expires.
Acceptance fee: KSh 30 – KSh 300Deliver the job
Navigate to the client, do the work, then mark the job complete in the app so it counts toward your quality score.
Get paid by the client
Agree payment directly with your client outside the platform. Your Plug Yangu wallet is only for acceptance fees and subscriptions — unused credit can be refunded via support.
Wallet credit · support handles leftover top-upsWhat it costs
Every fee is shown in the app before you confirm anything. These are the live figures.
Connection fee per request
Charged from your wallet when you send a request. The exact amount depends on the service and is always shown first.
Acceptance fee per job
Deducted from the provider wallet when they accept a job. There is no percentage cut on what you agree with the client.
Wallet top-up via M-Pesa
We add nothing on top of your top-up. Minimum KSh 100. Standard Safaricom charges still apply on their side.
Unused wallet credit
Wallet credit is for platform fees only. Job payments stay between you and the client. Leftover top-ups are refunded by contacting support — our team sorts them out.
Late cancellation
Free to cancel before a provider accepts. After that, this share of the connection fee is retained.
Welcome credit for new clients
Install the Plug Yangu app on your phone and we credit your wallet. Spendable on platform fees, not withdrawable.
