About GigNGo

We're building a platform for hiring locals with no lead fees and no commissions.

Hiring, made human again

GigNGo connects people who need tasks done with locals who can help. Whether you need a handyman, house cleaner, dog walker, or help with any of 335+ services, GigNGo makes it easy to find trusted locals in your area.

Our Mission

We believe that connecting people shouldn't require extracting fees from every transaction. Traditional platforms charge 15-30% in fees and commissions, making services more expensive for consumers and reducing earnings for locals.

GigNGo is different. Free to post and free to respond. No platform fees and no commissions on what locals earn. Just people helping people.

Completely Free

No fees for consumers. No commissions for locals. No hidden costs.

Real Locals, Judged by You

Locals verify a phone number to sign up. We do not run background checks or confirm licences — instead you see profiles, ratings, reviews and past work, and judge for yourself.

Video Profiles

Locals can showcase their work with video profiles, so you can see their quality before hiring.

Nationwide Coverage

Available in all 50 US states, from major cities to rural areas. 335+ services available everywhere.

Easy Communication

In-app messaging makes it simple to discuss your task, ask questions, and coordinate with locals.

Ratings & Reviews

See what others say about locals before hiring. Leave reviews to help the community.

3. Fair for Locals

Locals keep 100% of their earnings. No commissions and no lead fees. We believe locals deserve to keep what they earn.

Who is behind this

GigNGo was started by Cameron Lockrey. The first version was Kickback — an app built as a student to connect people who needed odd jobs done with people nearby who would do them, starting with snow shovelling. It ran through Calvin University’s startup programme and was covered by local news in West Michigan.

The lesson that carried over is the one this whole platform is built on. Finding somebody was never the hard part. Deciding whether to let them in was. A directory can list a hundred people near you and still leave you knowing nothing about any of them — and the platforms that sell those listings make money every time you have to start the search over.

So GigNGo does not sell leads and does not take a commission. Locals pay a flat subscription, which means we only do well when somebody gets known well enough to be hired again. That is the whole model, and it is the reason we can afford to tell you plainly what we do and do not check.
