Free. You are never charged.
I am open to talk...
Say it with one tap, and Upfora finds someone nearby who is open to talk too, or a table of up to four. You see a first name and what you have in common, then you meet at a place near you both. It's completely free.

A first name, what you have in common, and three places within reach of everyone.
Meet
At the door, tap I’m here. Your screens turn green.
Rather plan ahead? Tap Later and book a set time, where Upfora offers them.
No photo. No bio.
Just curiosity.
You see a first name and what you have in common. The rest, you find out across the table.
Your screen becomes a beacon
When you get there, tap I’m here. Your whole screen turns bright green, and it can flash and make a sound, so whoever you are meeting can pick you out. Their screens do the same.
You chose each other on a first name and what you have in common (no photo), so this is how you recognise each other. In a busy lunch crowd, a green phone held up is easy to spot from across the room.
Short answers,
before you go
Is Upfora free?
Yes. Upfora is completely free, and you are never charged. Cafés and restaurants can pay for a plan that puts them first among the three places when they qualify, and their card says so.
How am I protected?
You meet in person at a place Upfora suggests, and no one is ever shown your exact location. There is no chat, so nobody can message you in the app, before or after the meeting. Reporting someone also blocks them, and your arrival counts only when you are at the place itself. Adults are never matched with anyone under 18.
Why only 90 seconds to answer?
The 90 seconds stops the back-and-forth: the moment is now, and the person you invite acts on it fast. When you tap Now, whoever you're matched with has 90 seconds to accept or decline, and if no answer comes, your search goes on.
Can I go in a group?
Yes, from 09:00 to 22:00: after you tap Now, choose a group, and Upfora finds up to three others for a table of four. Everyone at the table sees every other person's first name before deciding. At night, Now is always one to one. A set time you book with Later always seats a group of two to four.
Where does Upfora work?
Upfora works wherever people use it. There is no service area to check: Now matches people near each other who are open to talk, so it works anywhere people near you are searching. Set times with Later are offered only where Upfora has arranged them.
Two to four people, one table.
Be where they meet.
Upfora offers every match three places to meet. If you run a café or a restaurant, yours can be one of them.
