Afrobox

Made in
Dar es Salaam.

Afrobox is a creator community made in Tanzania: creators share photos, videos and stories, fans follow for free and pay to unlock more, and the money goes to the creator’s own bank.

Why it exists

Tanzanian creators have audiences on every big platform and few ways to be paid by them in shillings. Afrobox starts from how people here already pay, with Mobile Money, and from what creators asked for: their own prices, their own subscribers and payouts to their own bank.

How it works

Following is free. Fans buy coins from TZS 1,000 to send as gifts, or subscribe to a creator’s package. Creators apply once with their bank and ID, and the team reviews applications, usually within 48 hours.
