How Womanify earns money, how we build our rankings, and what you should know before clicking any link on this site.
Womanify is a free resource for users. We earn revenue through referral fees: when you click a link to a partner dating site and take a qualifying action — such as creating an account or purchasing a subscription — that site pays us a commission.
We may also receive flat fees for featured placements (marked "Sponsored" or "Ad") and display advertising served through third-party networks.
You never pay more because you clicked through Womanify. Our partner agreements do not add surcharges to your transactions.
Every dating site listed on Womanify is evaluated using a proprietary methodology. The final score and position reflect a combination of the following factors:
Hands-on testing — our team creates real accounts, tests sign-up flows, identity verification, chat features, translation accuracy, and customer support response times.
User votes — visitors to Womanify can rate each site on a 1–5 star scale. These votes are collected in real time and contribute to the displayed score. We apply basic fraud filters (rate limiting, duplicate detection) but do not manually alter vote totals.
Profile & safety standards — we assess ID verification policies, moderation speed, bot and spam detection, privacy controls, and refund/cancellation paths.
Pricing transparency — clear pricing, absence of dark patterns, and honoured refund policies increase a site's score.
Commercial relationships — compensation from partners is a factor that may influence a site's position in our listings. A paying partner may appear higher than a non-paying site with a comparable testing score. We believe this is a fair trade-off that allows us to keep Womanify free while still providing useful, research-backed content.
No single factor overrides all others. A partner site that fails our safety or verification checks will not appear in our top rankings regardless of the commercial arrangement.
When you see a "Sponsored", "Ad", or "Offer of the Month" label, it means the featured site has a paid promotional agreement with Womanify that goes beyond our standard referral partnership. The content in these placements is still reviewed by our editorial team, but placement and visibility are directly influenced by compensation.
A listing on Womanify is not a formal endorsement, certification, or guarantee of any dating site's quality, safety, or legitimacy. We do not cover every dating platform on the market — our rankings focus on sites we have personally tested and that meet our minimum editorial criteria.
We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy or completeness of any information displayed, including pricing, features, and availability, which may change without notice. Always verify current terms directly on the partner site before making a purchase.
We retest each listed site at least once per quarter. Scores are updated sooner if a site changes its pricing, verification policy, or moderation practices, or if we observe a significant shift in user vote patterns. Significant ranking changes are noted in our update badges (e.g., "Updated for February 2026").
You are never obligated to click any link or sign up for any service through Womanify. If you prefer, you can navigate directly to any dating site independently. Our content — reviews, guides, and comparisons — is available to read regardless of whether you use our referral links.
