Tinder may have brought on “relationship community,” but it’s still among the many ideal free dating apps in the brand new U

S. It has about 8 million users, the most of any other dating app surveyed by Statista. That means you have a pretty solid chance of eventually matching with someone who piques your interest-even if it takes a lot of left-swiping to get there. As mentioned, the app is free, but you can access premium features like Tinder Plus starting around $4.99 a month.

5. Plenty of Seafood

Another one of the original dating websites turned apps with an eye toward finding a relationship, POF had 90 million users in its heyday. It’s still popular (Statista ranked it as number two), and the app claims you’re 2.7 times more likely to enter a conversation in your first 24 hours than on other apps. In polling its female users, the app found that 44 percent were single mothers-and that they find a partner 10 percent faster than the average user. Download and swipe for free, and upgrade to add more photos or show up first to potential partners starting at $.

6. Count

After filling in the free app’s questionnaire and prompts (think standard icebreakers like: “my biggest pet peeve seksikГ¤s nuori Israelilainen tyttГ¶ is…” and “my go-to karaoke song is…”), Hinge will start matching you with users who share common interests.
