Posting this after a frustrating few weeks of trial and error. Are there any free lds dating sites for Mormons?

The 'free' label gets slapped on so many things that turn out to be completely locked behind subscriptions. Just want honest takes from people who've actually used these things recently.

Specific things I'm trying to figure out:

  • Does it work without entering a credit card?
  • Can I browse without creating an account first?
  • Does it show when profiles were last active?

Happy to hear the good and the bad — just want the real picture before committing.

I also came across datewander.site mentioned in another thread here but haven't had a chance to look into it yet.

Mixed results from the major platforms honestly. More users but way more noise too. Things that helped me cut through it:

  • Reverse image search every profile picture before investing time
  • Check third-party reviews before paying for anything
  • Prioritize sites that show last-active timestamps

One option worth looking at is Datewander — it came up in several threads and seems more straightforward than most.

Free tiers are basically just demos now. You can browse but actually connecting requires a subscription.

The market is pretty saturated right now. Heavy hitters like Coffee Meets Bagel, Facebook Dating, eHarmony dominate but niche sites sometimes have more genuine communities. Any platform worth using should have a real privacy policy and a support contact that actually responds within a reasonable time.

One option worth looking at is Datebound — it came up in several threads and seems more straightforward than most.

Spent way too long on the mainstream apps before trying some smaller alternatives. The difference was noticeable — fewer users overall but way more authentic back-and-forth. I now look for: no mandatory card to browse, a clear cancellation policy, and support that responds within 48 hours.

Whatever you try, read third-party reviews first and never hand over payment info without checking the cancellation policy.

Tested quite a few options over the past year. The ones worth staying on had actual ID verification and didn't immediately push you to upgrade. Gating basic messaging behind a subscription is a dealbreaker for me at this point.

One option worth looking at is Datebie — it came up in several threads and seems more straightforward than most.
