We introduce you to new friends, based on values – not photos.

A photo-free, values-first platform for adults who want genuine friendship, not small talk.

Zero upfront cost. Take your time – the details are everything.

Our Approach

The apps got faster. Friendship didn’t get any easier.

Most platforms are built to keep you swiping, not to help you stop. FriendSift works differently. We ask what actually matters, your lifestyle, your social battery, your values and introduce you to people who answered in a similar way.

These are generated by FriendSift based on your answers.

Features & Pricing

Built on results.

FriendSift has no monthly subscription fees. We bypass the endless billing cycles to ensure you only invest in genuine introductions.

Complete Anonymity

Focus on substance over appearances. Profiles and identities remain entirely locked and blurred until a Handshake is mutually confirmed. You control exactly who sees your details.

Pay for Results

Send a Handshake request to someone you'd like to be introduced to. Stripe places a temporary card hold first, then the other person has 5 days to accept and pay. If they do, your hold is captured and both names and email addresses are revealed. If they decline or don't respond, the hold is released. Your local commitment fee is shown before you continue.

Real Compatibility

We look far beyond proximity. Our platform aligns your underlying core values, lifestyle and outlook to ensure deep, long-term alignment between members.

How FriendSift Works

You might want a gym buddy, a friend to travel with, someone to try restaurants or go to concerts with, someone to create with, or simply someone you can talk to and be yourself around. Perhaps you’ve reached a new milestone, like becoming a parent, moved to a new area, or found interests you’d love to share with someone. Making a new friend doesn’t mean replacing the friends you already have. FriendSift offers friendship introductions with an explanation of why you could get along and highlights things you have in common, helping you choose who you’d like to meet. Your names and contact details stay private until you both agree to the introduction and complete the Handshake. Your reveal email includes an icebreaker to help start the conversation.
