Perhaps you’re living in Germany, or maybe you’re traveling there for business or pleasure. Whatever the case, you’d like to meet attractive matches sooner rather than later.

Here are 11 popular German dating sites & apps you should consider in your quest for romance!

Finya

Finya is one of the most popular free dating sites in Germany, but there’s one caveat: it’s in German.

A good German dating site for erotic fans and people looking for a physical connection. One of the largest dating sites in the Germany and in Europe where educated singles can meet each other. More than 13 million users within Europe. Safety and anonymity are guaranteed. Best free online dating sites in germany. Faith focused dating site where you hear about online dating app or find love, fun, here. German is more detailed analysis of germany! Lifewire top 50 dating and dating sites in the best online dating site for that special someone. Lovescout24 is the simplest online.

While many Germans speak English, this particular site is a great opportunity to brush up on your German skills. And if that fails, there’s always Google Translate, right?

Setting up a profile is simple. There’s no lengthy personality test to take, although Finya does have a section with 100 questions you can answer that could help you get more curated matches.

Finya allows you to freely browse the pool of German singles. There’s also a Tinder-like section where you can swipe through profiles and message any that “like” you back.

Being free, Finya is mainly financed by advertising. So you’ll see a lot of ads. You’ll also receive messages that are advertisements.

This site seems to have more fake profiles and scammers than other German dating sites. But on the plus side, it truly is without payment – there are no upgraded features offered.

eDarling

eDarling is one of the most popular dating sites across all of Europe, and is owned by the same company that runs EliteSingles.

You’ll need to pay for a subscription if you want to actually meet women on eDarling, as most functions aren’t available for free users.

But that’s not a bad thing – it cuts down on the number of fake profiles on the site.

This is what you can do for free on eDarling:

• Receive 7 matches every day
• Send smiles and “likes”
• Upload photos
• See the results of your personality test

These features come with a paid subscription:

• See photos of your matches
• Freely send messages
• See who visited your profile
• Your profile is shown to more local singles
• You can comment on other users’ profiles and photos
• You receive up to 20 additional matches every day in the “What If” section
• A more detailed explanation of your personality test results

There are 3 levels of membership on eDarling: free, premium classic, and premium comfort.

Here is what an eDarling subscription costs*:

(Editor's Note: Pricing subject to change)

Much like eHarmony, this German dating site’s matching algorithm is largely based on a lengthy personality test. Answering all the questions is required.

Be prepared to spend some time taking it – the questions number in the hundreds. But it’s worth answering them accurately, as your responses will directly affect who you’re matched with.

eDarling doesn’t allow you to freely browse all the eligible singles in your area. Instead, you’ll receive your “partner suggestions” every day.

It’s geared towards German singles who are seeking long-term relationships, and is one of the best options for meeting high quality women if you’re 35+ and in large city.

Parship

Parship is similar to eDarling in that it relies on a personality test to match people.

Called the “Parship Principle”, it’s a lengthy questionnaire filled with multiple choice questions, as well as more abstract exercises like choosing which image you prefer.

Setting up your profile could take up to an hour, but jumping through all the hoops helps weed out people who aren’t serious about online dating. You can only contact other members if you’ve completed at least 50% of your profile.

Parship sends you matches based on your compatibility score, which is determined by comparing your test results with theirs.

As a free user, you won’t be able to see a match’s photo unless they specifically grant access to it. Instead, you’ll only get a blurred image. Premium members can see photos a match has made public.

Here are the features that come with a paid subscription:

A premium membership on Parship depends on how many months you commit to up front:

• £14.90/ month for 6 months
• £19.90/ month for 3 months
• £29.90/ month for 1 month

This german dating site offers a guarantee of sorts – if you have not made contact with a user within 6 months of purchasing a premium membership, you’ll get another 6-month premium membership for free.

OkCupid

Sure, OkCupid may be owned by the same American corporation that owns Tinder. But it’s still one of the very best places to find interesting, attractive 20- and 30-somethings in Germany.

If you’re located near a university or in large, international city like Berlin, it’s definitely worth a closer look.

Okcupid doesn’t cost a cent to use. You can create your profile, see photos of your matches, and exchange messages without a paid subscription.

But, guys, there is one caveat – a woman will only be able to see your first message in her inbox if she’s already “liked” your profile. Until she does that, your profile will pop up in her Discovery, DoubleTake, and Search sections. And she can read your message when she checks out your profile.

OkCupid offers two “premium” membership levels, Basic and Premium which offer additional features like seeing who likes you, unlimited likes, and advanced filtering options.

For more details on upgrading OkCupid click here.

Tinder

Tinder is one of the most widely used dating apps in the world, and you’ll find plenty of hot German singles looking for all types of relationships.

Using the app is simple – you swipe right on a photo if you’re interested, left if you’re not. If both people “like” each other, a match is made and you can exchange messages.

Tinder is free to download and use. You can “like” up to 100 profiles every 12 hours, and send unlimited messages to your matches.

The majority of Tinder users are 18-34 years old, and live in urban areas; less than 20% of users live in the suburbs, and only 7% in rural areas.

If you live outside the city and don’t mind commuting to your dates, Tinder’s Passport feature allows you to swipe through singles in any location.

This could also come in handy if you’ll be visiting a German city soon and would like to set up dates before you travel. In order to change your location on Tinder, you’ll have to upgrade to Tinder Plus, Gold or Platinum.

Tinder Plus costs $9.99 per month. Here are the features that come with upgrading:

• Limit what other Tinder users can see, such as your age and distance away
• Swipe through profiles anywhere in the world
• “Undo” your last swipe
• Get a free “Boost” every month, which makes your profile one of the most popular in your area for 30 minutes.
• Only be visible to people you’ve already “liked”
• Sort your match feed by most recently active users
• Swipe right as much as you want
• No ads
• 5 extra Super Likes daily

Tinder Gold includes all the Tinder Plus features, plus a grid view of users who have already “liked” your profile. That means you can instantly match with anyone you find there. Tinder Gold costs around $29.99, depending on how many months you purchase at once. Tinder Platinum costs around $39.99 for 1 month.

Once

Once is a solid alternative to Tinder if you’re tired of constantly swiping.

Every day at noon, you’ll be presented with one new match. You’ll have 24 hours to like or pass on the match. If you both “like” each other, you can then exchange messages for as long as you’d like.

You can purchase “Crowns”, which are the in-app currency, to unlock these premium features:

• Choose your match for the next day, without them knowing they were pre-selected
• Send a one-time message to your match before they’ve “liked” you as a way to break the ice
• Send and receive chat requests
• Be matched immediately with another user who’s currently online
• Chat with a human matchmaker about your “perfect match”, and have your next match hand-picked.

Once markets itself as an app for people seeking serious relationships, and doesn’t have the same huge user pool as Tinder and Badoo. Since you only receive one match a day, you may want to use it in conjunction with another German dating app or site.

Badoo

Badoo is a dating app like Tinder, and you can swipe right or left on profiles in the “Encounters” section.

But there’s one big difference – Badoo will also show you users who are nearby and have similar interests. If someone catches your eye, you can either “like” their profile, or send them a message.

If you’ve crossed paths with a fellow Badoo user in real life, the dating app will display the time and approximate location.

Badoo is a free dating app, so you can match, message, and meet women on it without payment. However, upgrading to Badoo Premium will unlock some handy features, called Super Powers:

• See which users have “liked” your profile
• See who has made you a “favorite”
• Ability to chat with the most popular women on the app
• See profiles of new members as they join
• Your messages appear first in her inbox
• Invisible browsing
• Undo “no votes” in the Encounters section

Here is what a subscription to Badoo Premium costs:

• 1 day: $1.99
• A week: $7.99
• A month: $25.99
• 3 months: $63.99
• 6 months: $95.99
• Lifetime: $159.99

While you’ll find people looking for all type of relationships, Badoo has a more casual vibe than other dating apps like Bumble and Once. This German dating app is ideal if you’re looking for a hookup or a less serious relationship.

Happn

Happn is a truly location-based dating app that’s popular across Europe. Instead of being able to swipe through singles in your general area, you’ll only see people whose paths you’ve crossed during the day.

Your match feed is composed of Happn users who have come anywhere within a maximum distance that you set, up to 90 kilometers. The app will display how many times you’ve come within proximity of each other, the time, and the place of your last encounter.

If she’s currently within the app’s proximity restriction, her profile will say “NOW”. Of course, for privacy reasons it won’t pinpoint her exact location.

If you are interested in someone who appears in your timeline, simply “like” her profile.

If she “likes” you back, a “crush” is formed and you can exchange messages.

This app also has a game feature called “Crush Time”. In it, you’ll try to guess which of four users has liked your profile.

A correct guess means an instant match, a wrong one just means you “liked” her profile and hopefully she’ll return the favor.

Because it’s based solely on physical proximity to other users, Happn is best for people who live in densely populated areas.

Candidate

This German dating app has a unique twist – you don’t get to see profile photos right away. Instead, you answer questions sent to you from other users, and ask questions of your own. If you both “like” the answers, a match is made and you can exchange photos.

It’s very easy to get started on Candidate, you simply need to provide your name, age, gender, and sexual orientation.

This dating app doesn’t require Facebook, or even an email address to get started. You’ll need to provide your email if you want to verify your account, which is a good idea because you’ll get a “verified” flag on your profile so other users know you’re legit.

Once your profile is set up, you can start to create games.

This is how you “meet” matches. Each game consists of 3 questions that you write. The questions can be about anything, and each has a 300-character limit. You’ll also have to write a title for your game, which can be up to 100 characters.

5 people have the opportunity to answer the first question, and you rate their answers. The 3 “winners” then answer the 2nd question, and you pick your favorite 2 answers. Those 2 users then answer the last question, and you’ll match with and can see the photos of the user whose answer you like best.

You can also participate in the games of other users, and if you’re the winner you can exchange messages with that game’s creator.

Candidate is free to download and use.

Bumble

Bumble is a dating app that puts women in the driver’s seat when it comes to messaging – only they can send the first one. Apart from that, it’s similar to apps like Tinder where you’ll swipe right or left on singles in your area.

When both Bumble users swipe right, a “connection” is made. At that point she has 24 hours to send you a message before the clock runs out and the match expires. You also have 24 hours to respond, or the match will expire.

Once both halves of a match have sent a message, you can continue the message exchange for as long as you want.

Bumble is free to use, but upgraded “Bumble Boost” users can do things like extend the 24-hour deadline on the matches. That means you can give her an extra day if she hasn’t messaged you yet.

There are 3 features that come with a premium Bumble subscription:

1. Beeline – this is a separate feed of women who have already ‘liked’ your profile, so a right swipe is a guaranteed match.
2. Rematch – this feature allows you to reconnect with past matches for another 24 hours.
3. Busy Bee – this adds another 24 hours on the clock for a new match that’s about to expire.

Bumble Boost costs between $13 and $24 a month, depending on the length of your membership.

Bumble tends to attract singles who are looking for a more serious relationship, so if you’re in the market for something casual, Tinder or even Badoo may be a better bet.

LoveScout 24

LoveScout 24 is a popular dating site in Germany, and it’s free to access the site and download the app.

But if you want to the ability to freely contact singles in your area, you’ll have to pay for a subscription.

Here’s what you can do for free:

• Create a profile
• Upload photos
• Search for and view other profiles
• Send smiles to show interest in another user
• Reply to messages from Premium members

Here’s what you can do with a premium membership:

• Read, send, and reply to messages
• See who “liked” you
• Review who visited your profile
• See who sent you a “smile”
• See who marked your profile as a “favorite”

LoveScout 24 also hosts events, which members can register for and attend. LoveScout 24 is part of the FriendScout network, which is owned by the same company as Tinder and OkCupid (Match Group).

I don’t know about you, but I get tired of paying for stuff so much. From groceries to electric bills, to doctors appointments to gas for my car, it never seems to end. Sometimes it’s nice to just do something or get something for free. Like finding a date online.

Most dating sites and apps offer free registration and free browsing, but not all of them can claim to be 100% free for everyone always. We’ve broken down the features, counted up the costs, and ranked the most affordable and popular dating sites where local singles can mingle for free. These sites go easy on your wallet and offer a lot of value to the modern dating scene.

1. Match.com

Match is the king of dating sites, having launched in 1995 and facilitated more dates, relationships, and marriages than any of its competitors. Your free Match membership includes many standard features like browsing profiles, uploading photos, sending likes, and viewing potential matches, and the dating site also allows free members to message their Top Picks (profiles that are highly compatible). In addition to its online dating features, Match promotes numerous events that give local singles the chance to mix and mingle in person at happy hours, speed dating nights, and other meetups. To get started, Match requires you to provide some basic info like your name, age, gender, sexual orientation, and location, and you’ll have to upload a picture to appear on the dating platform.

Free members don’t have unlimited messaging on Zoosk, but they can respond to some free messages and send likes or flirts to show interest. We’ve ranked Zoosk about the top free dating sites because it’s very possible to meet a compatible person and land a first date without paying for any tokens or subscriptions.

4. SilverSingles

SilverSingles is a senior dating site run by the same company that built EliteSingles. The main difference between these two online dating platforms is that SilverSingles caters exclusively to mature men and women who are at least 50 years old. The dating sites pretty much work the same way, including registering, matching, communicating, and pricing. It’s free to join the SilverSingles membership base and set your dating preferences so that you can find your ideal match.

5. eharmony

Nowadays, eharmony is one of the most trustworthy names in the dating industry, and it has one of the most unique sign-up and matching processes too.

Launched in 2008, the site is extremely popular, with more than 1.4 visitors a month, and the dating app can be downloaded for free via the Apple Store and Google Play Store. But the most important component of OurTime is that singles over 50 have a community where they can feel safe, save money, and find the perfect match.

FAQs: Is Tinder a Free Dating App?

Yes, Tinder is a free dating app where local singles can mix, match, and chat without paying anything. The only catch is that you can only send a message to people who have liked your dating profile — so you’ll need to make sure your photos and byline are good enough to get Tinder users to swipe right.

Tinder users can choose to upgrade to Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold if they want to up their swiping game by being able to send more Super Likes, view who’s liked their profile, and match with people outside their ZIP code. Nearly 6 million users have taken Tinder up on this offer. Everyone else is content to mingle for free.

The Tinder user base is primarily made up of free members looking for a good time and casual chat.

German Dating Free

Since its launch in 2012, Tinder has become easily the most popular and celebrated dating app in the modern dating scene. It has been downloaded over 340 million times and created more than 43 billion matches to date.

Whether you’re looking for casual dating or a serious relationship, Tinder is an excellent wingman with access to some of the most desirable singles in your area.

Is a Paid Dating Site Better Than a Free Dating Site?

This depends heavily on the user and what they’re looking for in a potential partner. If you’re just bored and want to chat with a lot of local singles in a short amount of time then a free dating site or app will probably suit you just fine. It’s low-pressure and low-commitment, and it doesn’t cost anything but time!

However, singles who are serious about finding true love typically don’t find the free swiping scene to be very gratifying. For one thing, it can take a long time to turn an idle conversation into a real connection, a first date, a second date, and a long term relationship. There are simply too many options for online daters to focus on just one person, and they can quickly get overwhelmed by flaky and superficial dates who don’t always enter chats with serious intentions.

A paid dating site essentially solves that problem by requiring singles to pay a cover fee and show that they’re serious about meeting someone for real. Paid members also tend to benefit from having more matchmaking tools, search filters, and premium features at their disposal, which makes it even likelier that they’ll have a fruitful online dating experience.

What’s the Best Dating Website for a Casual Hookup?

We mentioned BeNaughty earlier on this list of free dating sites, but it’s worth bringing it up again because all communication is 100% free. All you have to do is provide an email address, some back info, and add a photo of yourself, and you can start flirting away on this sexually charged website.

BeNaughty is a casual dating platform where single men and women can be honest about their kinks, fetishes, desires, and priorities. Things usually move pretty fast here, so don’t be surprised if a man or woman asks you to meet up within minutes to meeting you.

Our expert ratings are based on factors such as popularity, usability, value, and success rate of each site.

Relationships:Hookups, Chats

Match System:Search by encounter, location, and more

Our Experts Say:“BeNaughty is a premier hookup app where you can feel comfortable expressing your desires. Plus, it's free to join, browse, and flirt...” Full Review»

Browse Free:View Photos Now

Meeting new people on BeNaughty is as easy as setting search filters and send a mass text or private message to anyone who stands out from the crowd. This online dating service doesn’t hamper communication by putting a lot of fees, rules, or restrictions in place, so go ahead and run wild and have fun wooing a new sexual partner.

Is It Possible to Find True Love Online?

Yes, countless online daters have fallen in love within a few days, weeks, or months of joining a dating site. In fact, The Knot reported in 2019 that 22% of American newlyweds met through a dating site or app, and that number has been steadily increasing year after year.

Today’s singles can skip the bar scene and focus their attention online to find a new love interest or soulmate. Dating sites have matchmaking tools and filters that can help with vetting dates and pursuing promising matches. With a little time and luck, you could become an online dating success story and join millions of couples who have an algorithm to thank for their relationship

What Kind of Dating Site is Plenty of Fish?

Plenty of Fish (or POF) is a completely free online dating site where a user can chat and flirt all day without spending a single dollar. When it launched in Canada in 2003, Plenty of Fish endeavored to appeal to a broad cross-section of singles by providing a simple signup process, straightforward matching, and unlimited communication to all.

Nowadays, POF is widely known as the best dating website for conversations because its 150 million users send over 1 billion messages per month.

A free member can send up to 55 greetings per day on the POF dating site and app.

You don’t have to form a mutual match or pay a subscription fee to send messages on Plenty of Fish, and it can be a great way to dive into the local dating pool and see if you spark a potential match.

Plenty of Fish is also available as a dating app, so a user can take their dating game to a new level by engaging in live chats while on the bus, in line at the grocery store, or even at work (the app won’t tell on you).

Do I Need a Facebook Account to Join an Online Dating Service?

No, most dating sites and apps give people the option to sign up through Facebook because it speeds up the profile completion process, but these popular platforms work just as well without it. If you don’t want to link your Facebook account to your new dating profile, you’ll probably need to provide an email address, phone number, or some other social media link instead so that the dating team can verify your identity.

Meet, Chat & Save Money on a Free Online Dating Site

My bills are never going to magically disappear. I’m always going to need to eat, so grocery shopping is a must. My car isn’t going to run itself, so I have to keep it filled up. And I want to live a long time, so doctors appointments are just a fact of life for me. A lot of you are probably in the same boat.

Some dating sites require members to pay a fee if they want cupid’s arrow to find them, but our online dating experts don’t believe it’s necessary to shell out money just to fall in love.

With free swiping, matching, and chatting at your fingertips, you can start making new friends and attracting quality singles more easily and affordably. That’s where the nine dating sites above come in handy. These 100% free online dating sites offer free memberships and communication features so singles don’t have to break the bank to get a date. Enjoy!
