What clients pay, and what you earn
These are two different numbers and we always show you both. Client pays is the total the customer is charged for the booking. You earn is the amount you receive after the experience is finished. The difference is the Company Share, which covers running the platform. Payment is cash, handed over in person after the experience — there is no online checkout.

Every approved Buddy starts as a Rising Buddy. Premium recognises Buddies with strong experience, reliability and consistently excellent guest feedback — it is decided by our team, it cannot be chosen, and it is not guaranteed. Your Buddy Level affects your Hangout Buddy pricing and nothing else.
Comfort Buddy has its own fixed pricing
Comfort Buddy is companionship and presence work — visits, walks, meals, errands, appointments and hospital company. It is priced entirely on its own terms and is never calculated from Hangout Buddy rates.
Standard Comfort Sessions
| 2 Hours | 400,000₫ |
|---|---|
| 3 Hours | 550,000₫ |
A single visit, booked when you need it.
Monthly Packages
| 4 sessions / month · 3h each | 2,000,000₫ / month |
|---|---|
| 8 sessions / month · 3h each | 3,600,000₫ / month |
Regular visits arranged for the month, at a set monthly price.
Hospital Accompaniment
| Half Day | 700,000₫ |
|---|---|
| Full Day | 1,200,000₫ |
Non-medical company for an appointment or a stay. A Comfort Buddy never gives medical or clinical care.
Activity Experience pricing varies
Pricing varies depending on the selected activity and its requirements. Final pricing is shown when the specific activity is arranged.
An activity can involve a venue, entry tickets, equipment hire, transport or another service, and those costs are different every time. That is why there is no fixed Activity price list and why an Activity Experience is never priced from the Hangout Buddy hourly or package rate. You always see the full amount for a specific activity before you accept it.
Three ways to take part
Leisure Buddy
Street food, coffee, markets, nightlife, photos and everyday local life. You are a companion who makes the city easy, not a guide with a script.
Sports Buddy
Gym, running, cycling, racket sports, yoga and stretching. You share the activity as a companion. You are not a coach, personal trainer or medical professional.
Study Buddy
Language exchange, conversation practice and studying together in cafes, libraries and coworking spaces. You are a study companion, not a teacher or tutor.
What we check before your profile goes live
- A profile review covering your photos, bio, languages and the experiences you selected. You upload between 3 and 10 photos with your application.
- Safety training status, recorded on your profile once completed.
- For scooter experiences: an approved driving licence and an approved photograph of the scooter you will ride. Without both approvals you are never offered a scooter experience.
- For any activity that needs a certificate, the certificate is verified before that activity appears on your profile.
Your documents stay inside our verification system. ID numbers, licence images and personal contact details are never shown on a public profile.
Meeting places and conduct
- Public and managed venues only. No experiences inside private homes, hotel rooms or other private rooms.
- Karaoke happens in approved shared or public rooms only.
- You may stop any activity that becomes unsafe, and our team supports that decision.
- Customers always see the full price, duration, meeting area and cancellation policy before a booking is confirmed.
