Best free dating sites in your country
Living abroad, or new in town? Dating sites are not the same in every country, and not all of them work in English. Pick your country to see which sites and apps you can use for free, in English, and where you will need a subscription.

Free, freemium or free trial?
Three words that sites use loosely. Here is what each one means on our pages.
You can chat without paying
Messaging with your matches is free. Paid plans only add extras, like more likes or seeing who liked you. Think Plenty of Fish, Finya or Hinge.
Free profile, paid conversations
You sign up, take the test, browse and send likes for free. To read and send messages, you need a subscription. Most serious dating sites work this way.
Everything, for a few days
All features are unlocked for a short period, then the subscription starts. Read the renewal terms before you enter a card number.
How we rank dating sites in each country
- Local first. We only rank sites that are popular and active in the country, with real members near you. And we tell you which ones work in English.
- What is free, in detail. For each site we list what a free account can do and what needs premium.
- Safety and honesty. We look at profile checks, how clear the prices are and how easy it is to cancel.
- Updated regularly. Offers change often. Each country page shows the date of its last update.
Free dating sites: common questions
Are there really free dating sites?
Yes. Some dating apps let you chat with your matches without paying, and almost every dating site lets you sign up, build a profile and browse for free. What changes from one site to another is whether messaging is free or needs a subscription. Each country page tells you exactly which is which.
Why do the best dating sites change from country to country?
Dating is local. A site with millions of members in France may have very few in the UK or the US. We only rank sites that are popular in each country, so you meet people who actually live near you.
I live abroad and do not speak the local language. Can I still date online?
Yes. International apps like Tinder, Bumble and Hinge work in English almost everywhere, and in big cities many locals are happy to chat in English. Local dating sites usually have more singles looking for something serious, but they are often in the local language. Each country page shows you which is which.
Which country pages are available?
We cover France, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, Sweden, Spain, Norway, the Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, Belgium, Switzerland and Finland. All our pages are in English, and for each site we tell you which language it works in. More countries are coming soon.
How do you make money?
Some of the links on this site may be partner links: if you sign up through them, we may receive a commission. It never changes what a site offers for free, and completely free apps that do not pay us are listed too.
