How we review dating sites
A review should help you decide, not sell you something. For every service, we look at the same questions.
- Who is it for? The stated age range, the type of relationship it is known for and any faith focus.
- How does matching work? Matchmaking, browsing or a mix.
- What is free? What you can do without paying, and what needs a subscription.
- How is the cost structured? Plan lengths, renewal and cancellation. We only quote prices we have verified, and we tell you when we have not.
- How safe does it feel? Moderation, reporting tools and scam awareness.
- What are the drawbacks? Every service has them, and we say so.
Member numbers and age ranges that we quote are the ones each service states about itself. We introduce them with the words according to the site, because we cannot audit them independently.

Partner reviews
eHarmony review
Our top US partner. According to the site, it has about 15 million members, accepts ages 30+, offers a free profile and uses matchmaking. It is known for serious relationships. We think it is a strong first choice if you want a relationship-focused service and do not mind answering a detailed questionnaire. Read the eHarmony review, or go to the eHarmony hub for cost, seniors and comparisons.
SilverSingles review
According to the site, SilverSingles has about 11 million members, targets ages 50+ and is free to explore. It is a sensible option if you want to meet people at a similar stage of life. Read the SilverSingles review.
Christian Mingle review
According to the site, this is a faith-based service with about 15 million members, ages 20+ and a free start. If shared faith is a priority, it deserves a look, though you will need to filter by age. Read the Christian Mingle review.
Zoosk review
According to the site, Zoosk has about 30 million members, ages 20+ and a free start. Its size can help outside big cities, but it asks for more filtering and caution. Read the Zoosk review.
Independent notes on sites we do not partner with
Many readers ask about services that are not our affiliates. We have no commercial relationship with CatholicMatch, Sacred Spark or SeniorMatch, and we do not link to them as partners. Our notes are neutral and meant to help you compare:
- CatholicMatch review: a neutral look at a well-known Catholic dating service, including how to think about price and how it works.
- Sacred Spark review: a short, independent note on this Catholic dating app.
- SeniorMatch review: a neutral look at a service aimed at older singles.
Where it makes sense, those articles also point to our partner services as alternatives, so that you can compare like for like.
A note on EliteSingles
Some readers ask about EliteSingles. According to industry press, it reportedly closed in April 2026, and we have not seen confirmation of a relaunch. For that reason we do not review or recommend it.

Frequently asked questions
Which dating site has the best reviews?
Reviews depend on what you want. eHarmony is our top US partner for serious relationships. SilverSingles suits those who want a 50+ audience, and Christian Mingle suits faith-minded singles.
Can I trust dating site reviews?
Be careful with any review site, including ours. We may earn a commission when you sign up through our links, and we say so openly. To keep our opinions independent, we cover drawbacks as well as strengths and tell you when we could not verify a detail.
Are the member numbers accurate?
They are the figures each service gives about itself, which is why we write according to the site. They are useful for scale but are not audited.
Do you review sites you do not partner with?
Yes, in a neutral way. Our independent notes cover CatholicMatch, Sacred Spark and SeniorMatch, and we state that we have no partnership with them.
How often are reviews updated?
We review them regularly and mark updates in the introduction. Services change prices and features often, so always confirm details on the official site.
Are there free dating sites for people over 50?
Most services are free to start or to explore, but messaging usually needs a subscription. See our guide to free dating sites over 50.
