Loggy3 Review: The Real Payout, Rates and Risks

The ad says 50 cents for every hour you spend on your computer. After 77 hours of recording, our own Loggy3 dashboard says we have earned $7.50.

That gap is the whole story, and it is only one of three things to know before you install this app. The other two are what Loggy3 records and how long it keeps it.

Short answer: Loggy3 looks like a real company that really does pay, but the rate on our dashboard is $0.10 an hour, not the $0.50 in the ads, and the price is a detailed recording of everything you do on screen. Last checked on 27 October 2026.

What Loggy3 actually is

Loggy3 is a desktop app for Windows 10, Windows 11 and macOS, made by Standard Intelligence PBC, a company based in San Francisco. You install it, finish a short onboarding and leave it running while you use your computer. There are no tasks to complete. The company pays for the recordings and uses them to train its own machine learning models, according to its Privacy Notice.

Right now it is open to adults in Kenya, the Philippines and India, according to PaidTaskers, which checked the official pages on 7 October 2026. Creators on TikTok are already promoting it to Kenyans, so you have probably seen the ads.

The rate: $0.50 on the ad, $0.10 on our dashboard

The advertised rate is $0.50 for every hour of eligible recording, capped at 10 paid hours a day, with a claim of average earnings of $100 a month. That is what PaidTaskers recorded from the official site, and it matches the TikTok ads.

Our dashboard tells a different story. For the pay period that began on 15 October, it shows a "basic" rate of 10 cents an hour. By the night of 26 October we had recorded about 77 hours, around 75 of them counted as paid, for an estimated $7.50. At the advertised rate those same hours would have been about $37.50.

We are not the only ones who noticed. A user on the PHCorner forum says new accounts now get 10 cents an hour, and another TikTok creator has been posting about rates changing on 1 November. Loggy3's Terms do not set out any rates or tiers, so the only number you can trust is the one inside your own app. Check it before you record a single hour.

Now the maths on that $100 a month claim. The 10 hour daily cap allows at most 300 paid hours in a 30 day month. At 10 cents that is $30. At 50 cents it is $150. The $100 average only works at the higher rate, and only if you record about 200 paid hours. At $0.10 you would need 1,000 hours, and the cap does not allow that.

At our pace of about six hours a day we are earning roughly 60 cents a day. You can test your own numbers in our freelance earnings calculator, which turns an hourly rate into weekly and monthly pay in dollars and shillings.

How the payout works, and what we have not been paid yet

Loggy3 pays twice a month, on the 1st and the 15th, through a payment service called Dots, with one to three days of processing. PaidTaskers lists PayPal, Airtm, Payoneer and eWallet as payout options, and says there is no minimum withdrawal and no fee, based on the official FAQ. You also have to verify your identity with a government ID and a selfie, handled by a provider such as Persona.

Our pay period runs from 15 to 31 October, so by that schedule the first payment should arrive after 1 November. We have not been paid yet, which means everything above is what the dashboard and the published rules say, not a payout we have received.

Other people report better news. A Philippines user on Gridinsoft says the first payout arrived, and a TikTok creator says she was paid through M-Pesa. Those are individual claims we could not verify, so check which payout options your own account shows.

What the app records, and for how long

This is the part that matters most. Loggy3's Privacy Notice says the app records screen activity, keystrokes, mouse movements, network and hardware data and related metadata while it runs. Anything displayed or opened during recording can be captured, including files, documents, images and messages. The data is encrypted before upload and stored encrypted, and the company keeps it in the United States.

Recordings are kept for at least five years. Your identity, account and payment details are kept for as long as your account exists, plus seven years.

The FAQ says the app does not use your microphone or webcam, but the Privacy Notice allows for both if they are switched on in the app. In the logs on our computer, recording pauses after about three minutes with no mouse or keyboard activity.

Several users on PHCorner call it a keylogger. That is blunt, but it is not far from how the company describes its own product. Treat everything you type or show on that screen as something Loggy3 may keep.

The fine print that changes the deal

Four clauses are worth knowing. First, any machine learning model trained on your recordings belongs to the company. Second, if something goes wrong, its liability to you is capped at $100 or what you paid it, whichever is greater. Third, disputes go to private arbitration seated in San Francisco, although new users can opt out within 30 days by emailing support@loggy3.com. Fourth, the company can end your access at any time, for any reason.

Kenyan users keep some protection. The Terms say rights under Kenyan law that cannot be waived still apply, and the Privacy Notice lists your rights under Kenya's Data Protection Act, including access, correction and erasure. You can use them by writing to privacy@loggy3.com, and you can take a complaint to Kenya's Office of the Data Protection Commissioner if you are not satisfied.

Hidden costs: data, time and lost minutes

A recording has to be uploaded, and the files are big. One session we watched upload came to about 1.15 GB, and another was about 350 MB. On a capped bundle that can cost more than you earn, so use unlimited Wi-Fi or fibre only.

Time leaks away too. About two and a half of our 77 hours were marked unpaid, which seems linked to the 10 hour daily cap on our busiest days, and the dashboard flagged one damaged session. Bots, auto-clickers and mouse jigglers get you banned, so there are no shortcuts.

Is Loggy3 legit? Our verdict

Legit, yes. A scam, no. The company is named, its Terms and Privacy Notice are public, and automated checkers lean positive. Gridinsoft gives loggy3.com 71 out of 100, and ScamAdviser calls it very likely safe while noting that the domain owner is hidden and the site is only one to two years old.

But legit is not the same as worth it. At $0.10 an hour, 100 hours earns $10, and you hand over a detailed record of your digital life that lives on for five years. It suits someone with a spare, clean computer that holds nothing private, unlimited internet and a lot of patience. It is a poor fit for your everyday laptop, and a bad fit for anyone who handles other people's data.

How to cut the risk if you still want to try it

Use a separate Windows user account, or better a spare computer, with no banking, no email and no saved passwords on it. Never record while you open M-Pesa, a bank, a password manager, a work system or anything that belongs to a client. Close WhatsApp and your email first. Check the rate card inside the app before you start, and read the Terms and Privacy Notice yourself.
