Startup cost: $100 - $1k

Low-end costs include basic essentials like a professional profile on a platform such as Cuddle Comfort or Cuddlist, which may have a small registration fee or commission. Basic marketing can be done through free social media channels. High-end costs involve a more professional setup, including a personal website, professional photography for marketing, premium memberships on platforms, and possibly renting a comfortable space for sessions. Additional costs might include liability insurance, professional training or certification, and advertising on social media or local platforms. Hidden costs can include transportation, ongoing platform fees, and potential legal consultations to ensure compliance with local regulations. While some claim it's low-cost, expenses can increase with professionalization and marketing efforts.
