Common questions
Does LokalGig take any commission?
Zero commission, both sides. Sellers keep 100% of what they earn; buyers pay no platform fee. Payment goes directly between you and the seller via DuitNow, bank transfer, Touch 'n Go, or cash. LokalGig never touches the money.
How do I find and hire someone on LokalGig?
Search by service ("plumber KL", "kuih raya Shah Alam") or browse by category and state. Tap any gig to message the seller directly on WhatsApp — no app sign-up needed to make contact. LokalGig covers all 16 Malaysian states.
How is LokalGig different from Carousell, Mudah, Fiverr, or Upwork?
Three differences. (1) Zero commission — Fiverr and Upwork take 10–20% per transaction; LokalGig takes 0%. (2) WhatsApp-direct contact — no in-app messaging gates you behind. (3) Built specifically for first-time Malaysian gig earners, with bilingual Bahasa Melayu + English support and an AI listing helper. Mudah and Carousell are general classifieds for goods; LokalGig is a focused launchpad for service-based gig work.
Is LokalGig safe to use?
Yes, with normal precautions. Confirm details on WhatsApp first, take small samples for new sellers, never pay 100% upfront on custom work, and save your chat as a receipt. Suspicious behaviour can be reported via the gig page. Full Safe Dealing Tips at /safety — sourced from PDRM and CyberSecurity Malaysia.
Is LokalGig really free?
Yes — 100% free for both buyers and sellers. No subscription, no listing fees, no commission. The free tier covers everything: post 2 gigs, receive unlimited WhatsApp inquiries, full search and discovery. Optional paid tools (Freelancer Pro, RM 19/month) exist only for sellers who want extras — never for buyers.
