Welcome to Cherry - Building the Future of Companion Booking
We're thrilled to welcome you to Cherry — I'm part of the development team here, and I'll be sharing regular updates as we continue to build and improve the platform. We're currently in our soft launch phase, and this is the perfect opportunity to introduce what Cherry is all about and what makes our platform unique.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to create a transparent, fair, and technology-driven marketplace that connects clients with verified professional companions. Cherry is built on three core principles:
- Trust through verification - Every companion goes through identity verification
- Fair, merit-based discovery - Listings are ranked by reviews and ratings, not by who pays more
- Zero platform fees - We don't take a cut of your bookings. All payments are direct cash transactions
What Makes Cherry Different
Cherry is not an escort agency — we're a discovery and booking platform where companions (both independent and agency-managed) connect directly with clients. We don't process payments or take transaction fees. Instead, our revenue comes from optional premium subscriptions that unlock convenience features like instant availability toggling, advanced analytics, and priority support.
Most importantly, your listing position is determined by your reviews and ratings, not your subscription tier. A free-tier companion with excellent reviews will rank higher than a premium subscriber with poor ratings. This ensures quality rises to the top naturally.

Our Pricing Philosophy
Cherry operates on a zero-commission model. We don't take a percentage of your bookings. All payments happen directly between clients and companions in cash. Our optional premium subscriptions unlock convenience features like instant availability control, advanced analytics, and priority support — but they don't buy you better placement in search results.
This approach ensures that quality companions rise to the top based on merit, not marketing budgets. It's fairer for everyone.
Thank You
Cherry has been built with care, passion, and a commitment to transparency. We're redefining what a companion booking platform can be — fairer, smarter, and better for everyone involved.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Whether you're a client looking for companionship, an independent companion building your business, or an agency managing multiple companions, we're here to support you.
Welcome to Cherry. Let's build something great together.
