Question 1

How is Accompany different from typical dating or social apps?

Accepted Answer

Accompany is not a dating app. We help you find a Plus-One for platonic, one-on-one outings in public places. The activity, time, and place are agreed on before you meet, so you can focus on shared interests, good company, and good fun.

Question 2

How do outings and scheduling work?

Accepted Answer

The Host chooses an activity, time, and public place, then invites a Plus-One who shares their interest. The Plus-One reviews the details and can accept the invitation. Once accepted, you’re ready to meet and enjoy your outing together! If the Plus-One charges a fare, the Host’s payment is held until the outing is completed, then released to the Plus-One.

Question 3

Is there a cost to use Accompany?

Accepted Answer

Joining the waitlist is free. Outings can be free or paid, depending on whether the Plus-One charges a fare. For paid outings, the Host pays the fare plus any applicable fees, with the total shown before confirming. Optional premium features may carry an additional cost.

Question 4

How does Accompany encourage people to show up?

Accepted Answer

Every accepted invitation comes with a clear activity, time, and public meeting place, so both the Host and Plus-One know what they’re committing to. For paid outings, payment is held until completion, giving the Plus-One a financial incentive to follow through. Showing up and respecting each other’s time helps build a reliable community.

Question 5

Can I be both a Host and a Plus-One?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can invite someone to join your outing as a Host, or accept an invitation as a Plus-One. Your role can change from one outing to the next.

Question 6

How does Accompany approach safety?

Accepted Answer

Accompany is built around one-on-one outings in public places, with the activity, time, and location agreed on before you meet. You choose which invitations to send or accept. Always use your judgment, let someone you trust know your plans, and leave if you feel uncomfortable.

Question 7

When will Accompany launch in my city?

Accepted Answer

Join the waitlist and tell us your city! We’re preparing to launch in Austin, Texas first, and your interest helps us decide where to expand next. We’ll share updates as launch dates are confirmed.

Question 8

Is this the same Accompany acquired by Cisco?

Accepted Answer

No. Accompany (accompanyapp.com), operated by Accompany Me, Inc., is an independent consumer app for platonic one-on-one outings and activities. It is unrelated to the enterprise relationship-intelligence tool acquired by Cisco in 2018.
