How Greety works

Five steps to a real night out.

The full mechanic — from finding your local to walking home with a list for next time. Plus what we built to make all of it feel safe.

01
Search

Browse, with a curator's filter.

Every Greety host is hand-vetted before they go live. You won't see a directory of a thousand profiles. You'll see the right thirty for your city. Filter by vibe, language, or the kind of night you want.

02
Match

Match and chat — on-platform, always.

Send a meet request. Your host sees your profile, your vibe, and your dates. The conversation happens inside Greety — not on Instagram, not on WhatsApp. It's how we keep things safe, and how we keep the trust real.

Match
03
Plan

Plan with points, locked in escrow.

Buy points once. Spend them across cities. The moment your host confirms the meet, points lock — they don't release until you both mark the meet complete. No card fees, no surprise charges, no FX drift.

Plan
04
Meet

Meet your local.

Show up. Share a meal, a long evening, a night out you'd never plan yourself. The good ones run six hours and end with a list for next time. Your host knows their city like home — they're not playing tour guide.

Meet
05
Review

Rate honestly.

After the meet, you both rate each other. We use those ratings to keep the platform honest — and to flag the rare bad night before it becomes a pattern. The 4.9+ ratings on Top Hosts are real.

Review
The safety theatre is real

Built for the night out you'd send your sister on.

Most marketplaces sell trust as a marketing line. We built it as the product.

ID

Government-ID verification.

Hosts upload a government photo ID and clear a live selfie liveness check. Re-verified annually.

REF

Two reference checks.

Two people who know the host vouch for them. We talk to both. Pseudonyms not accepted.

INT

Video interview.

Every host sits through a 30-minute video with a Greety curator. Half are turned away.

CHAT

On-platform chat only.

Hosts pushing off-platform are warned, then removed. The audit trail is part of the safety net.

ESC

Points held in escrow.

Points lock when the meet is confirmed and only release when both parties mark complete.

247

24/7 human safety line.

Real human, ten-minute response. Every city, every hour. One tap from inside the app.

FAQ

Asked enough we wrote answers.

How is this different from a guide app?+
Greety isn't a guide service. It's a marketplace for meeting locals — friends-of-the-city, not tour operators. Most meets are dinner, drinks, or a night out, planned together over chat. The host isn't reading from a script, they're showing you the city the way they live it.
Is on-platform chat really mandatory?+
Yes. Hosts who repeatedly push contact off-platform are removed. It's a safety call — both for you (an audit trail, in-platform support) and for the platform (the trust theatre stops working if conversations evaporate to WhatsApp).
What does verified actually mean?+
Government-ID + selfie liveness check, two reference checks, a 30-minute video interview, plus on-platform rating history. Hosts re-verify annually. We do not list anyone we haven't put a face to.
How are points priced?+
$0.10 per point. Hosts set their per-meet rate in points, typically between 400 and 1,000 points (≈ $40-100). Top Hosts may price higher. Points never expire. Refundable up to 24 hours before the meet, half-refunded after.
What if a meet doesn't go well?+
Mark the meet incomplete and our 24/7 safety line takes it from there. Points stay in escrow until we adjudicate. Genuine bad-experience reports trigger a full refund and a host review. We side with the guest by default.
Where is Greety live?+
Bangkok is live with 142 hosts. Chiang Mai opens this month. Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi, Manila, and Phnom Penh open in batches across the rest of the year — host onboarding is open in all six.
