Your texter says hi within 15 minutes during our hours. Save the number and text like you would with a friend.
Good conversation, on your schedule.
textgf is for the moments you'd text a friend: something funny happened, you've got news, the day was long, or you just want someone to talk to.
- A real person who's matched to how you like to talk.
- Continuity. Your texter keeps notes so the conversation picks up where you left off.
- Easy. Plain text messages in the app you already use.
What it isn't
Clear lines keep textgf friendly for everyone.
- Not dating. No romance, no flirting, no sexual content.
- No meeting up. Texters never meet subscribers or share contact details.
- Not therapy. Texters are good company, not counselors or a crisis line.
- Not a bot. No AI writes your replies.
Start for $1.99. Stay because you want to.

Human
Every reply typed by a person. Never AI.
Good questions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Someone good to talk to is one text away.
Pick your style, get matched with a real person in the U.S., and start texting today. 7 days for $1.99, then cancel anytime.
