About DatingSitesFinder

The DatingSitesFinder team — the people who register, pay and test every casual dating platform we review
The DatingSitesFinder team

DatingSitesFinder is a small team of people who got tired of the same thing you probably did: registering on a casual dating site, paying for a subscription, and then finding out that half of the "matches" are bots and the other half are not looking for casual dating at all.

So we decided to do the work ourselves. We register on every casual dating platform we can find, spend real time and real money on it, and then rank only the ones that actually deliver real communication with real people. Nothing more, nothing less.

What we do

  1. We register on every platform ourselves – no reviews written from a homepage screenshot
  2. We go through hundreds of matches on each platform and check whether the people are real
  3. We test the platforms in the countries we cover: USA, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia
  4. We compare subscription costs and rank on cost-to-result ratio, not on who has the biggest marketing budget
  5. We put only the platforms that passed our checks on our list – the rest we mention, and we explain why they didn't make it

How we rank

The same 6 criteria apply to every platform, with no exceptions:

  1. How expensive it is to join (the most important question for everyone)
  2. How many users there are and how easy it is to find a match
  3. Whether the platform contains bots
  4. Features the platform provides
  5. Public user reviews and reputation
  6. Possibility of casual meetings and casual dating conversations

A platform doesn't get a higher position because it is popular or because it pays more. It gets a higher position because it did better on these 6 points when we tested it.

What we don't do

  • We don't recommend free websites. We checked them all, and in our experience a small paid entry is the best filter against bots and unwanted experiences.
  • We don't list platforms with $50+ monthly subscriptions. There are cheaper options that deliver the same or better results.
  • We don't list platforms that sent us hundreds of "matches" the second we registered. That is not a match, that is a bot.
  • We don't change our ranking because of an advertiser.

How we make money

We may receive affiliate compensation from some of the sites mentioned on our website. This is how the site is funded. It doesn't affect the ranking – if a platform pays us but fails our criteria, it doesn't make the list. Our full advertising disclosure is on every comparison page.

Why trust us

Because we tell you the things other comparison sites don't. We tell you which platforms are made by the same team. We tell you when a user base is small. We tell you when people aren't as engaged as elsewhere. If a platform is only good for a specific niche, we say so instead of pushing it on everyone.

Our goal is simple: you read our comparison, pick a platform, pay a fair price, and talk to real people. If that happens, we did our job.
