Do you like being someone’s shoulder to lean on, engaging in casual banter, or simply providing companionship?

The clientele consists exclusively of the elderly and the infirm. If you’ve ever visited a convalescent home, working with Papa should be familiar. ⚠️ The Risks There’s always some privacy and safety risk when conversing or meeting with strangers (Papa lets you offer both virtual and in-person services), but Papa does a great job of connecting you with people who genuinely need what you want to sell. 💰 What They Pay Papa’s website states that their base hourly rate is $15 per hour. Daily and weekly bonuses are also readily available, and they’ll reimburse you for the cost of commutes to client sites. ⭐️ Reviews and Ratings Papa has an average of three out of five stars on Indeed from past and present workers. On Glassdoor, they have an average score of 4.4. 3. FriendPC www.friendpc.com ⚙️ How It Works FriendPC is the most flexible of the three platforms on this list. If you do “become a Virtual Friend,” you can choose to offer a wide variety of services. That includes providing conversation and companionship over the phone or in person. ⚠️ The Risks FriendPC may be more likely to expose you to people looking for sexual services than the others on this list. The platform allows Friends to provide “girlfriend services.” While they define those as platonically roleplaying as someone’s girlfriend to deceive a third party, some people may get the wrong idea. 💰 What They Pay Friends get to set the prices for their services. No commissions or fees are publicly listed. ⭐️ Reviews and Ratings The internet casts similar aspersions against FriendsPC as it would any website advertising payment for talking to lonely people. Otherwise, the site has a generally positive reputation, though no official ratings. 4. FlirtBucks www.flirtbucks.net ⚙️ How It Works FlirtBucks is a platform designed specifically for flirtatious text and video conversations (hence the name). The site makes it clear even the video calls are conversations, though, not performances – no nudity. They only hire female chat hostesses. ⚠️ The Risks FlirtBucks’ Better Business Bureau page shows complaints from many who regret giving sensitive information to them after receiving no response to their application. There’s no confirmation that FlirtBucks has done anything malicious with their data, but there’s always a risk. 💰 What They Pay FlirtBucks pays between $0.10 and $0.15 per minute for text chatting. The pay range is $0.40 to $0.50 per minute for video chatting. Your rates will increase the longer you work with them. ⭐️ Reviews and Ratings FlirtBucks’ digital reputation is split pretty evenly between positive and negative. Comprehensive reviewers support it as a legitimate business, but crowdsourced sites report consistent privacy concerns (though none with documented issues). 5. MyGirlFund www.mygirlfund.com ⚙️ How It Works FlirtBucks is a platform designed specifically for flirtatious MyGirlFund follows a traditional platform model and connects men interested in paying to talk to attractive women. They support text chat, video chat, and even live cam shows. ⚠️ The Risks MyGirlFund only supports remote services, so there’s no risk to anyone’s safety. Your personal information is also somewhat protected from the public since you don’t talk to clients on personal devices, but the site still records your data, so be cautious. 💰 What They Pay Girls get to set the rates for their services at whatever they like, but the site takes a service fee from any earnings. ⭐️ Reviews and Ratings Like its peers, MyGirlFund receives generally mixed reviews online. Some tout it as a great way to make some extra money and some are suspicious of it in roughly equal measure. 6. Phrendly www.phrendly.com ⚙️ How It Works Phrendly is a less traditional platform than others on this list. It’s not so much an hourly chat service as it is a social media that rewards popularity with money. People who receive chat requests and sustain them for long periods make more money. ⚠️ The Risks Phrendly is 100% remote, so there’s no risk of meeting people in person. Because all interactions between people are through the app, your personal data is also protected from clients. 💰 What They Pay When someone messages you on Phrendly, they send you “drinks” worth some amount of money. If they want to continue the conversation, they have to continuously “buy drinks.” Phrendly doesn’t list a specific rate, but they do mention that they take a cut. ⭐️ Reviews and Ratings Phrendly has a decent reputation online as a small business with all the pros and cons you’d expect. The site has some technical issues, but they seem to be legitimate. The app receives three out of five stars on the Google Play store.
