Methodology
What we are
An independent directory. We do not host dating profiles, match people or provide messaging. We never create accounts, buy subscriptions or start trials to collect data.
Sources
Official sites, help centers, terms, pricing pages, publisher pages and country-specific Apple App Store and Google Play listings. Independent directories and local media are used only to find candidates, never copied.
Availability
Recorded separately for web, iOS and Android, and per country. Registration confirmed needs an official statement. Website loads and store listing are weaker findings and labeled that way. We do not infer a large local member base from availability.
Free labels
“Free” is never one yes/no field. Free messaging means no payment is needed to send or reply. Free after a match, Limited free messaging and Paid messaging are separate labels with the condition explained. Not verified means we could not confirm it. Free signup alone never counts as free messaging.
Prices
A price needs a country, currency, billing term, purchase channel and check date. We show the total charged (for example $120 billed upfront) next to any advertised monthly equivalent. Promotional and account-specific offers are kept apart from standard prices and never become a “from” price. We never reuse one country’s price for another or convert currencies. Where a price is only visible after login, it is shown as unknown.
Trials
A discount is not a free trial. We record length, eligibility, payment requirement and renewal only where published.
Candidates and status
New names start in a private queue. A platform is published only when it is active and has an official website plus at least one sourced availability entry. Rebrands are kept as aliases of one profile.
Commercial relationships
Sponsored placements and affiliate links, if any, are labeled and never change facts, filters or organic order.
Corrections
Use Report a correction. Check dates are never reset by a rebuild.
