Turn your free time, friendly personality, and hobbies into a flexible and rewarding income source.
In the flexible gig economy, a new opportunity has emerged: monetizing your empathy, social skills, and city knowledge by spending a few hours a week accompanying others in leisure activities.
As a companion on Planmates, you have total flexibility. You choose which open plans to join, your availability, and the activities you enjoy.
A companion is a friendly, respectful, and punctual individual who provides their presence so a host doesn't have to experience an activity alone.
Activities range from dining at trendy restaurants, visiting exhibitions, browsing markets, to sharing a pleasant conversation over tea.
"No special degrees required: empathy, punctuality, good manners, and engaging conversation are what matter most."
On Planmates, each plan clearly states the hourly rate and duration. Depending on the city and activity, rates typically range between €15 and €40 per hour.
For instance, joining a host for a 3-hour food walk at €25/hour yields €75 for a single afternoon while enjoying the activity.

Each plan specifies expense coverage (usually covered by the host or shared, as stated in the plan details).
If you enjoy connecting with people and want to turn your spare time into rewarding extra income, sign up as a companion on Planmates and explore open plans in your city.
