How do we compare sites?

We compare sites using only facts from their own websites, help centres, terms and app store listings, plus reputable news reporting for their history. Where a site does not publish a price or a feature, we say so instead of guessing. Each page includes a section on what the other site does better, because no single site suits everyone. Prices and features change, so check before you pay.

What should you look for in any casual dating site?

In any casual dating site, look for five things: clear prices you can see before you sign up, a way for members to prove they are real, control over what others can see about you, an easy way to block and report, and a simple way to cancel. The honest look at Joydate applies the same questions to Joydate itself.
