Prices for pros vary widely depending on things like location and the goal of the pro. Some pros are happy to just have a couple of regular clients so they price high to discourage others. I have seen $400 an hour pros in Los Angeles.
I believe there's a stickied topic on pricing.

If she's too high, then keep scrolling.
That's stating the obvious
Hi there! This has all been such an interesting thread to read. I hope I don’t upset anyone tooo much by stepping up on the soapbox to chime in & toss my 2 cents here. I come in peace, with open arms, & curiosity as to why some people here got so aggravated about the costs of others. Reading how worked up some of y’all became in the comments makes me want to just give you ol’ big hug & tell you it's going to be okay. No need for the vitriol or waylaying heavy on what’s supposed to be the lord’s doing anyway (main Judgement judge in charge). Some people grew up not getting the love they fully deserved & it shows. & I’m sorry I obviously don’t know any of you, but maybe someday I’d like to. Being all huffed up as you are, I’d hug you for free. Seems you really need it. & I hope that you wake up every day feeling blessed by velvet warm sunbeams of joy & wide-eyed wonder to the sustenance we need to live (oxygen, food, water, medicine, etc). & gratitude for this exquisite existence that gifts us endless beauty throughout our world (outside of governmental craziness). To the birds singing, to all the pollinators & plants. I wish you love.
Now, I am a Pro who charges $150 (o dang here come the torches & pickaxes), but somewhat of a boomer with technology & new to this site. I have taken “professional cuddling classes” that were mediocrely overpriced & I stopped. I have partaken in retreats for different methodologies & techniques for nonsexual intimacy, been a part of sweet & silly cuddle puddle parties, sat in on seminars, webinars- essentially trying to learn all that I can & grow more in this realm.
Outside of this, for the last 15 years (started young), I’m a botanist. Biggest repeated lessons for me in this field is I’m not obviously doing it for the money. Doing it for the love- woo! Don’t get me started on pollination ecology
I also live in an expensive area with ever increasing inflation & overwhelming burdens of rent. The growing number of homelessness is heartbreaking. What is also bonkers to me is that most everyone out there (including myself) feels so doggone beat most of the time, just from working different gigs just to keep paying to exist. & so, with this ongoing diatribe of mine (wrapping up soon haha), I just wanted to share that I know in my heart of hearts that I am full of love, I carry love in my heart & want to keep expanding & spreading love despite all the expenses & hassles of manmade existence. So that’s one reason I’m here & always learning & still loving (platonically). But also needing to survive myself. But I also survive on my love of love. This probably sounds hippy dippy as all heck to smirking critics out there, so stop reading. Jk. Ultimately love & our natural lands is all that really matters in this life because without love & nature, we wouldn’t be alive. Isn’t that the obvious? I dare ya ta let yourself think long & hard about it, outside of all the hurt/hardships/confusions/perspectives from childhood & growing into grumpy adults.
To the one unsympathetic feller who mentioned something to the likes to, “those who haven’t won capitalism are complaining” & some of the women who were belittling & shaming other women on here in ways that weren’t actually helpful to anyone. Squabbling over survival stories. Everyone has their own story. And everyone is trying real hard to keep surviving in some way. So, to them & you, I just want to wish you love (platonically). Thanks for reading 🥲
Recently, I came across quite a few cuddlers with hourly fees well north of $200. I understand some pros have cuddling as their full time job, but, what experience would a $200-$300 cuddler provide that’s so different than a $125 cuddler? I am not suggesting that more expensive cuddlers provide any extra “favors”. I actually saw one pro at $600/hr, what gives?
That’s going to depend on what you’re willing to spend and how much you can afford. From my personal experiences pros that charge 100 or less have been the best. I’ve cuddled a couple that were 120 that were actually worse than the less expensive pros.
I totally agree, and that’s why I’m curious! For some reason paying $600 an hour for cuddling seems excessive!
Instead of asking random strangers this question, might be better to ask that Pro directly, I’m sure they will want to explain… You can ask them (respectfully) for details about their cuddling service, what to expect in a session, even ask about their rate - if you’re brave. And please report back here about the kind of response you get (if you get one!) because it seems there are so many potential clients here who might want to know. This type of question is asked so much that there’s a whole thread about it.

@smurffy you need to apply to be a pro first 👍🏻

I think much of it boils down to what you seek. If you desire a warm body to cuddle and nothing more, you may have a positive experience with a <$100 an-hour pro. A big reason why you may see a disparity in price in some but not all cases is due to the experience and training geared toward providing emotional support.
I am only going to speak for myself here, but there is a vast difference in the types of clients I serve now versus when I first started offering cuddling services. When I first started, most of my clients wanted cuddles, more casual conversations, and some venting. Today, most of my clients are working through, complex issues, difficult life transitions or need ongoing support. When I first started, the majority of my clients would be happy to swap me out with another cuddle therapist on a whim based on availability or simply boredom and curiosity. Today, most of my clients only want to work with me or at least make it clear that I am their first choice because of the emotional support, trust, and rapport built over time. Even when I get clients just looking for a more casual cuddle, my ability to make people feel comfortable and safe often turns the session into a much more profound experience than they were expecting.
Of course, there are other reasons I have raised my prices other than cuddle-specific training and experience. Inflation and the fact that I have two offices were also a significant factor. So, this is not to say that price = quality across the board, but for me, the quality of my service has improved, and my prices reflect that, and I know this is also true for other cuddle therapists.
@xandriarain i appreciate your response.
Today, most of my clients are working through, complex issues, difficult life transitions or need ongoing support.
This for me would not be a reason to seek out cuddling for me personally since that’s more in the realm of therapy and if I was that bad off I personally feel that the cuddling experience wouldn’t be mutually enjoyable. Again those thoughts only apply to me and to each their own
I do my pricing by what is the absolute bare minimum that I would take to feel ok with this session going wrong.
Because I have had been dry hump me, touch my breasts, grab my ass, I have had to be on the phone with 911 trying to get a cuddler out of my house which is why I don't host anymore. And this guy was a vetted professional I did a background check on!
Two of my female friends are also pros, both are brunette. They don't deal with anywhere near the creep factor that I do as a redhead. So their rates are in the 80 range because for them, the worst case scenario is in that bad.
For me it's been having to file police reports, restraining orders, etc. While I don't think that will happen with each time, I do price as though it will just in case. Since I've made this change I've had more respectful clients as many of them are professionals with a lot to lose, so for many of us female pros it might be a safety issue. I know for me it definitely is!
@CuddleSum7 my sentiments exactly.
I believe that many women like myself have a high rate simply because there are several men here who intentions are not genuine. Secondly, we’ve factored in commute and gas. When thinking about the percentage going to CC, gas, and time, the high rate is very appropriate.
I don’t mean this to be a rant against the ladies but I have been here for awhile now and I have been watching this site go from a legitimate cuddle site to a site for women to seek sugar daddies , I’m constantly getting aggressive messages from all these glamourous looking women advertising their companionship at eye watering prices , that is not what this site is intended for , I have had wonderful experiences with wonderful people in here and I feel this brings the entire experience down

You should be reporting the women for doing that, they are not allowed to solicit here. But if you’re clicking on women with high prices, and being upset by that - that’s on you. You don’t have to contact them, and people are free to charge whatever they want.
If anyone is reaching out to you blind (without you visiting their profile first) they are violating the terms of service and you should report them.
What exactly is an "aggressive message"?
TxTom they want to meet in the same day , usually for a nice dinner etc stuff like that
Oh, okay.
That doesn't sound aggressive, that sounds like a SuperPro.
TxTom naa I'm sorry but to me looks like someone that really wants to go shopping lol
@TxTom i get “aggressive” messages all the time like “wyd” “you up” “cuddle now” It’s like they wanna order me like a pizza 🍕 🤦🏻♂️
If you didn’t read their profile first or reach out to them, you can always report them. If they’re too expensive or such block them. Or just say no. Actually that’s probably the easiest thing to say no thank you and then that’s it. If they reach out again, then block them or report them.
TxTom if I really want to cuddle and I don't find an enthusiast I'm willing to pay a reasonable price for a pro but not in this way
@mistic233 yeah that seems a bit fishy if they are trying to meet same day and go out to dinner or shopping. As a legitimate pro. I don’t take same-day bookings from new clients because I have a screening process. And while I do offer companionship type activities, I generally I’m only going out to eat with clients if we are having a really long session, but in general, the primary purpose of the session should be cuddling.
I'll be merging this to the mega price complaint thread when I get to a computer. I don't trust I'll do it correctly from my phone.
I know there's supply and demands, but when someone is asking for $200 with like very few or no reviews...
Thoughts? Comments? Complaints? Suggestions? Winning lottery numbers?

You can charge whatever you want on cuddle comfort dot com
so if you dont like what someone is charging dont hire them or make another thead about it
I think it depends on the individual. Some doing incalll service are calculating their travel time. Others may be more experienced cuddlers who offer a superior service. I’d speak with them and determine if that was the case. Just my thoughts.
