Loved across the gap
Trusted by people on both sides.
Clients hire with confidence, professionals get paid the moment work is approved, and families send work home knowing it will get done.
“I found a tiler, agreed the price, and the money sat safely until the work was done. Nobody had to chase anybody for the money. GigGap just made the whole thing feel safe.”
Fatou Camara Client, Banjul
“Before, I'd finish a job and wait days to be paid, sometimes argue for it. Now the money is released the moment the client approves. And I get seen by more people, so I take on more work than I ever did before.”
Oumar Diallo Plumber, Serrekunda
“I manage repairs on my mother's house in Banjul from London. I hire, I pay, and I see the work approved, all from my phone. It's the first time sending money home actually felt accountable.”
Modou Jobe Client, London
Questions, answered
Common questions.
How does GigGap keep my money safe?
When you agree a job, your payment is held securely in escrow. The professional is only paid once you approve the completed work, so your money never leaves your control until you're satisfied.
When does the professional get paid?
The moment you approve the work, funds are released instantly to the professional's account. No waiting days for a transfer, and no chasing for payment.
What happens if something goes wrong with a job?
If the work isn't right, you can flag it before approving. Funds stay safely in escrow while our support team helps both sides reach a fair resolution.
Can I hire from abroad?
Yes. Many of our clients live overseas and hire professionals back home. You can post a job, agree a price, pay, and approve the work entirely from your phone, wherever you are.
How much does GigGap cost?
Creating an account and browsing professionals is free. We charge a small, transparent service fee on completed jobs, and you always see the full amount before you confirm.
Is GigGap free to join as a professional?
Yes, creating a professional profile on GigGap is completely free. Set up your profile, showcase your skills, and start receiving job requests at no cost.
