Questions, answered.

Alongo is an activity-partner app: you find someone to do a specific thing with — a gym session, a walk, a trek, a coffee, a museum. It is strictly platonic, for adults 18 and over, and every meet-up is in a public place. Our Community Guidelines set out exactly what's allowed, and breaking them means a permanent ban.

Yes. Alongo connects people for lawful, platonic activities in public settings — the gym, a walk, a trek, a coffee. Anything outside our Community Guidelines is removed, every partner's identity is verified, and we cooperate with authorities. Meetings are meant for public places like cafés, restaurants, and venues.

Every partner submits a government ID — plus a PAN in India, for tax records — and completes a live face check that's matched to that ID. All photos are automatically screened for unsafe content, and our team reviews each profile. No one can appear or take bookings until they're verified. More on our safety page.

Partners set their own hourly rates, so pricing varies by person, city, and activity — you always see the rate before you book. During our introductory phase Alongo charges no platform fee at all — you pay the partner their rate directly, and there are no hidden charges.

There is nothing to pay online while we're starting out — our platform fee is currently zero. You settle the rate directly with your partner when you meet, in person; Alongo never holds or handles that money. You always see the rate before you book, and support can help if a booking doesn't go to plan.

No. You chat inside the app over private, encrypted messaging, so you can arrange everything without handing over personal contact details.

Around 28 activities across six groups — outdoors and active (gym, hiking, cycling, yoga), social and dining (coffee, brunch, food tours), explore and adventure (city tours, beach days, road trips), entertainment (movies, live events, comedy), culture and arts (museums, workshops, festivals), and everyday plans (study or work sessions, shopping, pet walks, language exchange). You and your partner agree the plan before you book. It is strictly platonic: the booking is for the activity itself, in a public place.

Alongo is launching city by city. Open the app to see verified partners available near you — or preview who's on the platform.
