Real Stories from Real People

Businesses that transformed, and people who avoided disaster with Authentify.

Businesses That Transformed

"Our competitors couldn't copy what matters most: trust."

Ni Savannah Creations – Handmade Jewelry, Nairobi

Before Authentify, customers would message us on Instagram, ask 100 questions, and still buy from someone cheaper—usually getting scammed with fake products.

After verification, our conversion rate jumped from 12% to 67%. Customers could see our 96% credibility score, read proof-backed reviews, watch our intro video, and verify we're real.

Revenue increased 340% in 6 months. Best business decision we ever made.

— Sarah Wanjiku, Founder

Reputation Recovered

"I got my reputation back—and my business."

James Omondi – Freelance Web Developer

Someone created a fake Twitter account with my name and portfolio. They took deposits from 6 clients and disappeared. Those clients found the real me and left terrible reviews.

Authentify helped me prove my identity, remove the impersonator, and centralize proof of my work. Now my verified profile ranks first, my credibility score is 94%, and I'm fully booked 3 months ahead.

— James Omondi, Web Developer

Proof Over Hype

"We stopped losing customers to fake reviews."

BamilByte Technologies – Digital Agency, Nairobi

Competitors paid for fake 5-star reviews and left us fake 1-star ones. Platforms did nothing.

On Authentify, every review requires proof. Clients compare our 92% credibility score, 47 proof-backed reviews, and 3-year verified history against suspicious profiles created last month.

We now win 89% of competitive pitches.

— David Kimani, CEO

People Who Avoided Disaster

"Almost lost KSh 180,000 to a scammer."

Christine Adhiambo – Small Business Owner

I needed a digital marketing agency and found one with a beautiful website and Instagram. They asked for KSh 180,000 upfront.

Something felt off, so I searched them on Authentify. Not verified. Zero credibility score. I found 14 scam reports with proof from other business owners.

Authentify saved me KSh 180,000 and probably my business.

— Christine, Retail Shop Owner

Smart Decisions

"Found the perfect contractor in 2 hours."

Michael Chen – Homeowner

I needed to renovate my kitchen. 15 contractors later, I was still unsure.

Using Authentify's service request feature, I got 12 responses from verified contractors with 75%+ credibility, compared portfolios and proof-backed reviews, and checked licenses and insurance.

The project finished on time, on budget, better than expected.

— Michael, Happy Homeowner
