Who we are

Honest reviews for people looking for love

TopDatings tests and rates dating sites independently. Every platform is signed up for, tested and cancelled by the same person, who then writes the review.

Our mission

Online dating is crowded with affiliate pages that rank whichever site pays most. Our job is to make that harder to do.

We publish the price we paid, how many replies we received, and what the cancellation flow looked like. When a site improves, we revisit it. When it declines, we say so.

€

Every account is paid for

No free press access. The same plans readers buy, with the real cost after renewal documented.

✓

Scores come from testing

Reply rates, fake-profile checks, support response times and cancellation friction, measured per site.

↻

Reviews are revisited

Each review shows its last test date. Anything that gets too old is re-run or pulled down.

⚑

Affiliate links are labelled

Some links earn us a commission. They never change a ranking, and every one is marked as such.

How we review a dating site

Every platform goes through the same four steps before it gets a score.

STEP 1

Sign up as a user

Like a normal user, with no press treatment.

STEP 2

Measure the matching

Messages sent, replies and fake-profile patterns logged over time.

STEP 3

Test money and support

Full purchase, refund attempt, then a cancellation from start to finish.

STEP 4

Publish the numbers

Raw results go in the review, including the parts that look bad.

The author behind every review

TopDatings is written and tested by one person.

Spotted something wrong?

Prices change, sites get bought, features disappear. If a review is out of date, tell us and we will re-test it. Press and partnership requests go to the same address.
