How we compared

What this table measures — and what it doesn't

Comparing dating apps is easy to do badly. You can pick the metric that flatters you, quote a user count nobody can verify, or invent categories only you satisfy. We tried to do the opposite: eight dimensions anyone notices in their first week, judged only on what each service publishes openly about itself.

That's why you won't find who has the most users, or how many couples anyone has made. Those are the two numbers this industry quotes most and the two nobody outside the company can check. What can be checked is how each product works: whether it requires profile verification, whether it charges differently by gender, whether it lets you talk without an active subscription. That is what's in the table.

And an honest caveat: Tinder, Bumble and Meetic are enormous products with years of history and teams we don't have. On sheer reach, they win. The question this page answers isn't which is biggest — it's which is built for what you're actually looking for.

The detail

What each difference means in practice

Verification: who checks that you exist

On most large apps, verifying your profile is optional and mostly earns you a blue tick. The result is familiar: photos from eight years ago, or of somebody else entirely. Here every photo is reviewed before it publishes, and a profile doesn't appear until it's complete — city, languages, description. Signing up takes a few minutes longer, and that is precisely the point: the filter annoys you once and saves you disappointment later.

Pricing: why we don't charge everyone the same

Mainstream apps sell an identical subscription to everyone, then sell extras that let you skip their own algorithm. The trouble is that the real imbalance on these platforms isn't fixed by charging both sides the same. Our model accepts it: women buy visibility for a set period, men buy unlocks for specific contacts. Each side pays for what it actually needs, and nobody pays a monthly fee to keep waiting.

Local focus: Spain, city by city

A global app shows you profiles sixty miles away because its database is huge and so is its radius. We work the other way round: by city, with dedicated pages for the cities that have enough profiles to make the visit worthwhile. If your city isn't there yet, we'd rather tell you than fill your screen with profiles two provinces away.

Discovery: no endless swiping

Swiping is designed to keep you playing, not to help you find someone. There's no infinite carousel here and no random reward: you filter by city, language or age, and only options with real profiles behind them are offered, so no filter ever ends on an empty screen. Profiles with active visibility come first, then the newest ones. Less time inside the app — which is the goal.

Talking: no subscription in the way

On most platforms, messaging someone requires an active subscription: stop paying and you're locked out of your own conversations. Here a contact unlocks once, per person, and returning to that profile never costs again. The conversation then continues on WhatsApp or Telegram, off the app — so the contact is yours and doesn't depend on staying subscribed.

Before you sign up

The questions everyone asks

A table summarises the differences, but it doesn't answer what actually decides whether you join. This does.

Is it free?+
Creating your profile, browsing the community and reading full profiles is free — no card, no trial clock counting down. What you pay for is specific: women buy a visibility window so their profile is featured for a set number of days or months; men buy contact unlocks, and get a handful free when they join. An unlock is charged once per person: come back to the same profile later and you are not charged again. There is no mandatory subscription to talk to someone, and no silent auto-renewal — each purchase is one-off, and you decide when to repeat it.
Is it safe?+
Phone numbers, WhatsApp and Telegram handles are never shown on a public profile: they are revealed only when both sides meet the conditions, and every reveal is logged. Photos are reviewed before they publish, and any profile can be taken down if it breaks the rules. Your data is handled under GDPR: you can exercise your rights of access, rectification and erasure by writing to us, and deleting your account removes your profile and your photos. That said, the oldest rule still applies: meet somewhere public the first time, and tell someone you trust where you'll be.
Are there real people behind the profiles?+
That is exactly why contact details are protected. Every photo is reviewed before it appears, a profile only publishes once it is complete — city, languages, description, interests — and the email address is verified before the account can be used. An empty, freshly-created profile cannot wander the platform harvesting contacts, because unlocking costs something real and leaves a trail. We won't claim it's impossible to lie on the internet: we do claim it takes effort here, and that when something looks wrong you can report it and we will look at it.
How does matching work?+
There is no endless swiping and no opaque algorithm deciding for you. You filter on what actually matters — city, language, age, type of profile — and only options with real profiles behind them are offered, so no filter ever lands you on an empty screen. Results put profiles with active visibility first and the newest profiles next, so you see new faces rather than the same ones forever. When someone interests you, you unlock their contact and carry on over WhatsApp or Telegram, off the app, the way it would happen in real life.
