A new Backpage alternative for local personals
Looking for a simple way to browse personal ads in your own city? Backpage brings back the familiar feel of a local classifieds board: choose a city and state, pick a personals category, and see the newest ads first. Each listing has a title, a photo thumbnail, details, and direct contact information. Browsing is straightforward on a phone or computer.
Local first, simple by design
The first step is choosing where you want to browse. You can enter a city and state or choose to share your location with your browser. Then select the kind of personal ad you want to see. Open an ad to view its photos and read what its poster wrote. Listings appear in chronological order, so recent posts are easy to find.
Post your own personal ad
One ad costs $14.99 in cryptocurrency and stays up for 30 days unless it is removed under our rules. Your ad payment helps keep the community alive and supports tools to review reports and remove unsafe ads. Posting makes you part of a community working to protect adults and fight exploitation. The payment buys an ad; it is not a tax-deductible donation. A poster can add a title, description, city, direct contact information, and up to five photos. Posting does not require creating a public profile or a user account.
For each ad, the poster completes an ID, age, and live-selfie check through Didit. At least one ad photo must clearly show the poster's face so it can be compared with the verified selfie. Photos in the ad may show only the verified person. This check supports our safety rules; it is not a guarantee about anyone's identity, intentions, or conduct.
Personal freedom with clear boundaries
This is an independent board for people to submit their own personal ads and connect with one another. Posters are responsible for what they submit. We welcome lawful personal connections, but our rules prohibit prostitution, offers of sexual services, exploitation, minors, nudity, visible genitals, and photos of anyone other than the verified poster. Ads that violate these rules may be removed.
Fight sex trafficking. Protect people. Keep our community safe.
Adults deserve a place to make lawful connections safely. Help us protect this community: if you see an ad that suggests trafficking, coercion, a minor, or other illegal activity, use the Report ad button on that listing. We review reports and may remove listings that break our rules. If we identify credible indications of serious harm or exploitation, we may refer available information to appropriate authorities. If you believe someone is in immediate danger, contact emergency services directly. Verification and reporting reduce risk but cannot guarantee anyone’s safety.
Built for local connections
Backpage offers a straightforward place to discover and share personal ads in your city. We focus on quick browsing, clear posting rules, and practical safety tools.
