How it works

Booking a Friend is as easy as booking a ride — with matching that actually considers who you are.

1

Tell us your vibe

Pick your interests and take a ten-question personality quiz. We match you with people you’ll actually click with.

2

Pick a Friend and a plan

See who’s nearby, what you share, their rate and reviews. Choose a time, a place and how long.

3

Meet up, then rate

Follow your gig live from request to “on my way” to done. Both of you rate each other afterward.

Better together

Every Friend chooses which kinds of gigs they take and sets their own rate.

Built around safety

Gigafriend is for platonic company only. Trust is the whole product, so it’s designed in from the start.

Verified members

Every member is 18+. Friends verify their identity, and errands, accompaniment and companionship visits require a background check.

Public first meetups

Your first meetup with someone new happens in a public place. Exact home locations are never shown to anyone.

Everything stays in the app

Chat, booking and payment stay on Gigafriend, so every gig is tracked, rated and covered by our support team.

Two-way ratings

Hosts and Friends rate each other after every gig. Ratings stay hidden until both have rated, so they’re honest.

Report anything

Any member can report a problem from any gig. Our Trust & Safety team reviews every report and acts quickly.

Block with one tap

Blocked members can’t see, message or book you — ever.
