How Rentbaby works
Rentbaby is a social marketplace where you book time with Darlings, adults who offer their company for meals, outings, hobbies, games and video calls. Everything on Rentbaby is platonic. You browse for free, send a request for a plan, and pay in credits that are held until the meetup is done.
What you can book on Rentbaby
Darlings offer their time in four ways:
- Meet and hang out: someone to join you for a meal, an event or a casual outing.
- E-Meet: a video call or a chat.
- Activities: company for a hobby, a class or something new you want to try.
- Play games: a partner for online games, or board games in person.
Each Darling chooses which of these they offer, sets their own rates and keeps their own calendar.
How booking works
- Browse Darlings on the For You page. You can filter by location, gender, service type and price range. Each profile shows what the Darling offers, when they are free and what earlier clients said.
- Send a request with the date, the time, the place or the online plan, and a note about what you would like to do. The Darling accepts or declines, and you hear back in the app and by email.
- Once the Darling accepts, pay in credits to confirm the booking. A chat opens, so you can agree the details together.
- When you meet, the Darling shows a QR code in the app for you to scan, which confirms that the meetup has started.
- After the meetup, release the credits to the Darling and leave a review.
If you liked someone, bookmark their profile and request them again from your bookings.
Paying with credits
You pay in credits, which you top up in the app. Each booking shows its cost in credits before you pay, and the credits stay in escrow until you release them after the meetup.
If you cancel, how much comes back to your wallet depends on how soon you cancel. The refund and cancellation policy sets out the details. If a Darling does not show up, report it to support within 24 hours, and once support confirms it, you get a full refund to your wallet.
Premium plans and private profiles
You can browse and book without a subscription. Premium plans, for one, three or twelve months, add perks such as access to private profiles, priority support and help finding a match.
Some Darlings switch on Exclusive Mode. It hides their profile from public browsing, so only premium subscribers and clients with a booking in progress can see it.
Becoming a Darling
Darlings are adults who enjoy meeting people and want to earn from their time. To apply, you need to be 18 or over and have a Rentbaby account. You confirm the account with a one-time code sent to your phone or email, or with a Google, Facebook or TikTok sign-in. Applying is free.
Sign up for an account first, then fill in the Darling application with the activities you offer. The admin team reviews it. If it is not approved, the team emails you its feedback, and you can adjust your profile and apply again.
As a Darling, you choose your schedule, your rates and your services, and you can hide your profile whenever you want a break. You earn credits when clients release them after a meetup. You can withdraw them to one of up to three payout methods, and each withdrawal is paid once the team has reviewed it.
Staying safe
Every account is confirmed with a one-time code sent to a phone or email, or with a Google, Facebook or TikTok sign-in. The Rentbaby team reviews and approves every Darling before their profile appears. Reviews after each booking show how others found a Darling.
For a first meetup:
- Meet in a busy public place.
- Keep the chat and the payment in the app.
- Tell a friend where you are going and when you expect to be back.
- If anything feels wrong, leave first. Then block and report the chat in the app, and tell Rentbaby support.
