The basics

Is it really a real person?

Yes. Every reply is written by a real person, and every one of our texters is based in the United States. No bots write your texts.

Is this dating?

No. textgf is friendly conversation, nothing more. There is no romance, no flirting, no sexual content, and you and your texter never meet in person.

Is this therapy?

No. Our texters are good company, not therapists, counselors or clinicians, and textgf is not a crisis service. If you're in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911 in an emergency.

Who can sign up?

Adults 18 and older with a U.S. mobile number.

Is it just texting?

Yes. textgf is text only: no calls, no video, and texters don't send photos.

Plans and billing

How does the trial work?

Every plan starts with 7 days for $1.99, including up to 15 replies from your texter. After 7 days your plan renews monthly at its regular price unless you cancel before the trial ends.

What counts as a reply?

One text from your texter is one reply. If your phone splits a long text into pieces, it still counts as one. You can send as many texts as you like; only your texter's replies count toward your plan.

What if I run out of replies?

Your texter will let you know when you're getting close. You can add a pack of 50 replies for $25 or move to a bigger plan anytime. Unused replies don't roll over.

How do I cancel?

Anytime, online, in a couple of clicks from the Manage subscription link in our footer or your receipt email. You can also email us. Canceling stops future charges; you keep texting until the end of the period you've paid for.

Can I change plans?

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime from Manage subscription. Upgrades take effect right away; downgrades start at your next billing date.

Your texter

Do I always text the same person?

Yes. You're matched with one primary texter who gets to know you. If they're away, a backup who can see your conversation notes covers so you're never left hanging.

Can I switch styles or texters?

Anytime. Tell your texter or email us and we'll rematch you, usually within a day.

When do texters reply?

Our hours are 8am to midnight ET, every day. How quickly you hear back depends on your plan, from within a few hours on Hello to within 15 minutes on Close.

Will my texter ever ask for money, gifts or personal details?

Never. Texters won't ask for money, gifts, your address or social media, and won't share theirs. If anyone ever does, tell us right away.

Privacy and safety

Is my conversation private?

Your texter sees your first name and the notes needed to keep the conversation going. A small team may review conversations for quality and safety. We never sell your information or your number.

What are the rules?

Be kind, keep it friendly, and keep it to text. No sexual content, no meeting up, no money or gifts. Our full Safety & Community Guidelines explain everything.

How do I stop the texts?

Reply STOP at any time. You can also cancel your subscription online so you're not charged again.
