How we make money and how it affects (or doesn't affect) our reviews.
We earn commissions when you sign up for dating apps through our links. This never changes our rankings or scores — we disclose affiliate relationships on every page where they exist.
When you click a link on DatingSiteReview.org and sign up for a dating app or service, we may receive a commission from the company. This is called an affiliate or referral commission. The commission comes from the company — you never pay anything extra. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you click our link or go directly to the app's website.
We currently have or may have affiliate relationships with the following platforms:
This list may change as we add or remove affiliate partnerships. Where we earn a commission, it is disclosed on that page.
No. Our rankings and scores are determined entirely by our testing methodology — user base quality, free tier value, match rates, safety features, pricing, and India-specific performance. We do not accept payment to improve rankings. We do not give higher scores to apps that pay higher commissions.
Some of our top-ranked apps (like Hinge and Bumble) offer relatively low commissions. Some lower-ranked apps offer higher commissions. Our rankings reflect user experience, not commission rates.
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, and similar disclosure requirements in other jurisdictions, DatingSiteReview.org discloses that we receive compensation through affiliate programs. This disclosure appears on every page containing affiliate links.
We do not currently publish sponsored reviews. If we introduce sponsored content in future, it will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored" or "Advertisement" and will be kept separate from editorial content. Sponsored content does not affect our independent review scores.
If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or commercial arrangements, contact us at hello@datingsitereview.org or use the contact form.
