The page is a finder, not a scored ranking. Compare the maker-published platform and plan details shown for each app, including free and freemium options.
Before you choose
Check platform support
The apps listed here run on iOS, Android, the web, or a combination of those platforms. Match the app's supported platform to the device you plan to use.
A web option can matter if you want access from a browser instead of an installed phone app.
Look for a free way to start
A free plan is available from apps on this list. Freemium apps pair a free plan with paid options, while a free pricing model indicates a free plan.
eharmony Premium lists a free Basic Membership.
Read the plan label
Use the pricing model to separate freemium apps from apps listed as free. The label describes the access model shown for the app.
DOWN: The Casual Dating App and HUD™ Dating App: Casual & Open have no pricing details in the supplied record, so compare their current plan terms before choosing.
Match the app to your routine
Start with the device you use for social discovery. Apps with iOS, Android and web access can fit more than one screen, while a platform-specific choice may narrow where you can sign in.
