These figures come from 26 Swiss portals that we read continuously.
Listings by canton
Active listings per canton and their share of all 40'040 active listings. Listings without a canton count in the total, but in no row.
Of 40'040 listings, 9'856 name no place that can be matched to a municipality — 24.6 %. They are missing from this table and from every place page, but count in the totals: the column adds up to 30'184, not 40'040.
Click a canton: there you find its districts and municipalities, the prices and the way to the listings.
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
Categories
What the listings offer. A listing with two categories counts in both – the overlap is a fact of the market, not a flaw in the data.
Reference: 40'040 active listings. The share is the share of listings carrying this category among all active listings – not among the assignments. 9'633 listings carry more than one category and count in each; the Listings column therefore adds up to 39'098 assignments and the shares to 97.6 %, not 100 %. 10'887 listings carry no category and appear in no row.
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
Prices
Hourly prices in CHF, per listing the most recently stated price from the last 30 days. Only 21 of 26 portals publish prices in structured form; the reference is 4'871 active listings with an hourly price. Cells with fewer than 10 listings are not shown.
By category
By canton, all categories together
Of 40'040 active listings, 4'871 state an hourly price — 12.2 %. The medians above rest on those and on no others.
24'774 listings say “price on request”. 7'339 listings state no price without saying so. And for 3'056 listings our collection never read the price field: there we do not know whether the listing names a price at all.
For 6 of the 26 cantons with listings no price appears here: fewer than 10 listings there state a price, and a median from a handful of prices is the price of single listings, not of a canton.
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
Price level by service
What listings cost that offer a given service – by service and by service category. One value per listing, the most recently stated hourly price from the last 30 days; a row needs at least 10 listings. The comparison is against the median of the same population: all listings that state an hourly price and at least one service.
This is not the price of that service, nor its surcharge. Third-party listings state an hourly price and carry services as a yes/no attribute; from “CHF 300 per hour” and “offers anal” it does not follow what anal costs. What stands here is: providers who offer this service charge this much per hour, at the median.
And that is exactly what the table shows: for 52 of 97 services the median is the same as across all of them (CHF 250). The hourly price is for the time, not for the act. Where a row does differ, it says something about the format of the offer – a sexchat is not an hour-long appointment, a duo splits the price between two.
By service
Where two prices appear, the middle lies between two price steps: many listings ask exactly the one, many exactly the other. A single figure in between would depend on which few listings happen to be online – so both price levels are shown, and the column next to them compares each with the market.
Reference: 4'098 of 4'871 listings with an hourly price also state a service – this breakdown is possible only on those. 97 of 115 services reach the minimum size.
The “read from the text” column counts the listings where the service was not an attribute of the portal but was read from the listing text. That is an assumption, not a commitment.
By service category
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
Price development
How the median price moves from week to week, per practice and per category. The figures are about the market, never about a single listing: per listing and week the most recently stated hourly price counts, and a point needs at least 10 listings. A series appears once 3 weeks have been measured in full, each Monday to Sunday; the current week only counts once it is over.
Since 7 September 2026, 38 of 10'380 listings with an hourly price have changed their price, 7 of them more than once. A series here only moves when prices move – not when different listings happen to be online.
A series only appears here once its movement survives a second calculation: the same median line, drawn only from the listings that quoted a price in every week shown. Where the two disagree, we do not show the series — what moved then was which listings were measured, not what they charge.
And we show no median line that sits on the edge between two price steps. Hourly rates cluster on a few steps; if the middle falls between two of them, the figure jumps the whole step as soon as a handful of listings appear or drop out. A figure like that looks precise and is not.
By practice
The table only shows series whose median moved. All others stayed at the same value week after week and are named below.
At a median of CHF 100 in all 7 weeks: Petting, Quickie, Threesome FMF and Voyeurism.
At a median of CHF 250 in all 7 weeks: Anal (receiving), Ball sucking, Body-to-body massage, Couples service, Cum in mouth, Cum on body, Cum on face, Cunnilingus, Deep french kissing, Erotic full-body massage, Facesitting, Fingering, Foot fetish, Hand job, Light kissing, Lingam massage, Nuru massage, Prostate massage, Rimming (giving), Shower together, Sixty-nine, Strap-on (pegging), Striptease, Swallow, Tantra massage, Uniforms, lingerie & heels and Watersports (giving).
At a median of CHF 300 in each of their 3 weeks with enough listings: Sandwich.
Reference: 8'446 of 10'388 listings with an hourly price also name a practice; the rest appear in no practice row. The practices come from the most recently read state of a listing, not from its state in the week shown – adding a practice also colours that listing’s earlier weeks.
By category
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
Surcharges per extra
What listings charge for an extra on top of the base price, where they state an amount – as a median across the market, never for a single listing. An extra appears once 10 listings state an amount. This is today’s level, not a history.
A surcharge alone does not tell you what a visit costs: it comes on top of the base price. Anyone comparing offers compares the total price – a higher surcharge on a lower base price can be cheaper.
These surcharges come from the listings of 14 platforms on which we read them today – 318 of the 1'012 listings from one of them.
Where two amounts appear, the middle lies between two steps: many listings charge exactly the one surcharge, many exactly the other. Nobody charges a single figure in between.
Every listing that states an amount for an extra is counted, once per extra. Where it says “included” or states the amount only vaguely, it does not count for that extra.
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
Room rents
What rooms, studios and places in salons for sex work cost, according to the room listings on the portals – median and middle half per day and per week. A figure appears from 10 listings with rent.
A room rent is not the price of a service. It is part of no other figure on this page, and room listings do not count among the listings.
41 room listings from 7 portals, 8 of them with rent per day or per week.
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
Verification
Share of active listings that their portal marks as verified. 17 of the 26 portals covered run a verification; the rate is taken across those portals together, not per portal. Reference: 12'221 listings with a value. What “verified” means is defined by each portal itself.
56.8 % of listings verified How many listings their portal marks as checked, taken across all portals with a check together. What checked means is up to each portal.
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
Special preferences in Switzerland
Listings that say this about themselves – counted in Switzerland. None of these statements is checked. All providers are adults.
Venues by canton
Businesses with a fixed address – studios, clubs, salons, Laufhäuser, agencies – per canton and their share of all 1'157 venues on record. Businesses are counted, not people; no venue is named here, and cantons appear in order of how many venues they have.
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
Venues by type
What kind of business it is, as far as the source says. Reference: 1'157 venues.
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
What the venues publish themselves
Whether a venue runs its own website is known for all 1'157 venues. What is on it, only for those whose site we read and matched to the venue.
82.2 % of venues have their own website
47.6 % state their price there
33.9 % state their opening hours there
Reference for the two figures below: 675 venues with their own, verified website. Venues without a website and pages we are not allowed to read do not count – otherwise this would measure our reach rather than the market.
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
Opening hours of the venues
Of the 347 venues that publish their opening hours themselves. Only hours that apply to the whole business are read – never an individual’s schedule.
77.5 % are open on Sundays
59.1 % stay open past midnight
73.2 % are open seven days a week
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
Prices in the venues
Base prices that 264 venues state on their own website: the on-site price, without extras, without “from” and without ranges. Businesses that, by the measurement, are a single person are excluded – their “house price” would be her own. Cells with fewer than 10 venues are not shown.
By duration, Switzerland-wide
One hour on site, by major region
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
Where the figures come from – and what they are not
The figures are a measurement of publicly visible listings on 26 Swiss portals, collected every night. Only attributes are stored – canton, category, price, verification status –, no listings and no persons. This is neither a directory nor a complete census: portals that prohibit automated reading are missing entirely; anyone advertising on several portals counts several times; and every figure is shown, small ones included – only prices appear from ten listings upwards, so that no median is the price of a single listing.
The venue figures do not come from listings but from directory entries and the venues’ own websites. This is not a complete census either: a venue with neither a directory entry nor a website is missing, and the major regions follow those of the Federal Statistical Office.
As of 29 October 2026 (As of 29 Oct 2026, 01:00: when these figures were last calculated from the market database.)
Reusing these figures
The market figures on this page are published under CC BY 4.0: you may share and adapt them, commercially too, as long as you credit rosalon as the source, point to the licence and mark what you changed. The licence covers these figures – not the rest of rosalon, not the details of individual venues, not the profiles.
The same figures as a file
Everything on this page is also available as a table to download — the same figures, the same date, nothing beyond it. One row is one indicator; no row is about a single advert, a single venue or a single person.
The same terms apply to the file as to the figures on this page: CC BY 4.0, with attribution to rosalon.
What these figures do not know
21 of 26 measured portals supply prices. On the remaining 5 portals the listing states no price, or our collection does not read it there; which ones is not stated here.
Measurement has been running since 6 September 2026 — 54 days. About earlier years, about the season and about any trend these figures say nothing.
Where a figure is missing, no estimated one stands in its place. What is not measured is not extrapolated.
