Hookup Sites Compared
Hookup websites and hookup apps solve the same problem in different ways. Websites tend to rely on paid memberships or credits and larger, search-based member lists; apps rely on location and swiping. The costs, privacy trade-offs and the number of fake profiles differ a lot between them.
Each platform on this page is described with the same fields, so you can compare free features, real costs, verification and cancellation before you create an account.

Frequently asked questions
Are hookup sites free?
Most let you create a profile and browse for free. Messaging is usually what costs money. A few apps allow free messaging between matches, and we flag those with the “Free messaging” filter.
How do I spot fake profiles?
Be wary of profiles that message first with a link, push you to another app or site, or ask for money or gift cards. Platforms with photo or ID verification tend to have fewer fake profiles.
Will a hookup site appear on my bank statement?
Many use a neutral billing descriptor rather than their brand name. We record the descriptor policy in each profile once it has been verified.
