Loggy3 Payout: How Dots and PayPal Pay You in Kenya
2026-11-09 by Trevor Kamau
Our first Loggy3 payout was $11.94, paid through Dots into PayPal about a day after the pay period closed. Here is exactly how the money moved, what the three emails said, and how Kenyans can get it from PayPal to M-PESA. Checked 9 November 2026.
What we were paid, and when
In our Loggy3 review we said we had not been paid yet. That has changed. For the 15 to 31 October pay period, Loggy3 paid us $11.94 through PayPal. The dashboard had shown an estimate of $7.50 on 26 October, with five more days still to record, so the final figure is higher because it covers the whole period.
The number fits the dashboard rate of $0.10 an hour, which would mean roughly 119 paid hours in the period. That is our own arithmetic, because the emails do not give an hour count or a rate. If you are on a different tier, your numbers will differ.
The three emails, in order
1. Loggy3, 31 October: "what to expect". Loggy3 warns that the period covers recording from 15 October to the end of 31 October UTC, which closes at 3:00 AM Kenya time on 1 November. Your pay is based on recordings that have finished uploading, up to 10 hours per UTC day. It asks you to keep the app open and connected, not to delete anything from the Loggy3 folder, and to use a stable connection so uploads can catch up.
2. PayPal, 1 November: "You have a payout from Loggy3". PayPal says the sender is Divisible, Inc., the company behind Dots, and that it sent $11.94 USD with the note "You have received a payout from Loggy3!". PayPal adds that it can take a little while to show in your Activity.
3. Dots, 2 November: "Your payout has been sent". Dots confirms the $11.94 payout via PayPal and tells you to contact its support if the money does not show up within 24 hours. Note the order: our PayPal email arrived before the Dots email, so do not wait for the Dots message to check PayPal.
Who is Dots, and why does PayPal show a different name?
Loggy3 does not pay from its own bank. It uses Dots, a payout service run by Divisible, Inc. That is why PayPal shows "Divisible, Inc." as the sender. Dots explains on its Where is my money page how to trace a payout that has not arrived. Never send your PayPal password or a code to anyone claiming to be "Loggy3 payments". The real notice comes from PayPal itself and only asks you to check your own Activity.
From PayPal to M-PESA
Safaricom added PayPal withdrawals inside the M-PESA app in July 2025, according to HapaKenya. You link your PayPal in the app, check the exchange rate and confirm, and the money usually arrives within minutes to a few hours.
Fees are where sources disagree. Several Kenyan guides say a 3 percent conversion fee is built into the exchange rate, while one site lists 1.5 percent. Do not rely on any blog, including ours: the app shows the rate before you confirm, so compare it with the live USD to KES rate first. Safaricom's advice is to withdraw only through the official M-PESA app, because fake withdrawal links are a known scam. Also read Safaricom's page on SIM swap fraud, since a stolen SIM can reach your wallet.
On $11.94, a 3 percent fee would be about 36 cents, so small payouts lose little. PayPal may also charge its own fees to receive money, so check your account.
Before you count on this money (risks and honest limits)
One payout of $11.94 does not prove the next one will arrive, and it does not change our view in the review: at $0.10 an hour it is slow money, and Loggy3 records your screen, keystrokes and mouse for at least five years. Other users report different payout methods and rates, and we cannot verify those. Payouts also need identity verification, so use only your own details.
Protect the accounts that now hold your money. If someone takes over your email, they can reset your PayPal. Our guide to securing your Gmail and Google account covers the steps, and our scam check page helps you test any "payout" message before you click.
The short version
Loggy3 paid us $11.94 for 15 to 31 October through Dots to PayPal, with the PayPal email arriving on 1 November and the Dots email a day later. It is real, small and slow, so only record on a clean computer with nothing private on it. Next step: check your PayPal Activity, then compare the M-PESA app rate before you withdraw.
