Each country page ranks the hookup apps and casual dating sites we consider most useful for someone living there. We do not claim to run hands-on tests of every service; we compare what each site offers, its audience and its terms.
Our criteria
- Purpose. Sites built for casual, no-strings dating rank ahead of general dating sites, because the expectations are clear on both sides.
- Local audience. A site is only useful if people near you use it, so we favour services with a real presence in that country.
- Language. We show the interface language of every site and point out the ones that work in English.
- Pricing transparency. We note what is free, what is paid and whether a site uses credits or subscriptions. We warn about trials that renew automatically.
- Discretion and safety. Anonymous profiles, verification and clear reporting tools count in a site’s favour.
Commercial relationships
We have affiliate partnerships with some of the services we list. Where we have a partnership, the partner can move up in our ranking, and in countries where no casual site is a partner, a mainstream dating site that is a partner can appear in the top 3. We always describe such a site honestly as a dating site rather than a hookup site.
Updates
We review rankings regularly and update a page when a service changes, closes or launches in a country.
