The Application Process
How Much Can You Earn?
Friends set their own rates. Most friends on the platform charge between $50 and $150 per hour, depending on the activity, their experience, and local market rates. You keep the majority of what you earn.
Many friends work part-time, 5–15 hours per week. At the higher end of rates, that's a meaningful supplementary income.
Setting Boundaries
Professional boundary-setting is something we take seriously and train friends on. Clear, consistent boundaries are what make platonic connection work — for everyone.
Clients understand and agree to these boundaries when they join the platform. If a client ever behaves inappropriately, friends have immediate support and recourse through our team.
