The one where you set the rate#
Local Friend on Roavi (disclosure: our platform): you list free, set an hourly rate (most list $15 to $50), and visitors or newcomers to your city message you free to spend a few hours with you, platonic and in public. You are paid directly and Roavi takes no commission. A person reviews your profile (18+, verified email, three real photos) before it goes live. Volume depends on your city. The bookings men get most: a game with a fan, a night out where people actually go, a neighbourhood walk, a newcomer's first weekend.
Your rate, your hours, no commission, free to list.
