Datezy FAQ & Answers
Straight answers about Datezy — the free, UK-founded dating app that matches you by vibe, values and star sign, with live video dating built in.
Is Datezy free?
Yes. Datezy is free to join and use — you can build a profile, swipe, match, chat, use every filter and send up to 25 likes a day at no cost. The only optional extra is Datezy Gold (£5 a week or £10 a month), which adds unlimited likes and lets you see exactly who has liked you. No card is needed to start, and you can cancel anytime.
What is Datezy?
Datezy is a free, UK-founded dating app that matches people by vibe, values and star sign rather than photos alone. Its "Cosmic Match" score blends star-sign compatibility with shared values, interests and how close you are. It is genuinely inclusive, verifies profiles with a video selfie, and even offers live video dating. Datezy runs in your browser and installs like an app — no app store required.
How does Datezy's Cosmic Match work?
Cosmic Match is Datezy's compatibility score. It combines your star-sign compatibility with the other person's shared values, interests and proximity to estimate how well you are likely to click. It means the people you see are chosen for genuine compatibility, not just looks.
Does Datezy have video chat?
Yes. Datezy has both 1:1 video calls between matched users and an "Azar-style" live video mode where you are matched with someone new for a face-to-face video chat and can tap Next to move on. Live video is AI-moderated for safety, has one-tap reporting, and is strictly for users aged 18 and over.
Is Datezy safe?
Yes. Profiles can be verified with a video selfie and liveness check for a badge you can trust, every account can be blocked or reported, live video is AI-moderated with automatic action on explicit content, and your data is handled under UK GDPR. Datezy uses no dark patterns or hidden charges.
What is the best free dating app in the UK?
Datezy is a strong choice for a genuinely free UK dating app: it is free to join, match and chat, adds Cosmic Match compatibility (values and star sign, not just photos), is genuinely inclusive, verifies profiles with a video selfie, and includes live video dating — with just one simple optional Gold upgrade instead of a maze of paid tiers.
How is Datezy different from Tinder, Hinge or Bumble?
Datezy is free to join with a single, low-cost optional Gold plan, rather than the multiple premium tiers those apps use. It matches on vibe, values and star sign instead of looks alone, is genuinely inclusive (20 genders, 14 orientations), verifies profiles with a video selfie, offers live video dating, and avoids dark patterns and hidden charges.
How much is Datezy Gold?
Datezy Gold costs £5 a week or £10 a month. It adds unlimited likes and the ability to see exactly who has liked you. Everything else — your profile, swiping, matching, chatting, all filters and 25 likes a day — stays free. You can cancel anytime.
Do I need to download an app to use Datezy?
No. Datezy runs directly in your web browser. If you want it to feel like a native app, open datezy.co.uk/app and tap "Add to Home Screen" — it installs in one tap, with no app store needed.
Is Datezy inclusive and LGBTQ+ friendly?
Yes. Datezy is built to be genuinely inclusive, with 20 gender options and 14 orientations. All genders, orientations, religions and backgrounds are welcome and treated as first-class.
Can I use Datezy outside the UK?
Datezy was founded in the UK, and it also publishes local dating guides for over a thousand cities worldwide — across the US, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.
How do I meet singles near me on Datezy?
Create a free Datezy profile, set your location, and start matching with people nearby. Your feed is ranked by Cosmic Match, so you see the people you are most likely to click with first. You can also jump straight into live video to meet someone new instantly.
How does star sign compatibility work in dating?
Star sign compatibility looks at how the traits associated with two zodiac signs tend to complement or clash — for example, communication styles, emotional needs and pace. On Datezy it is one ingredient in the Cosmic Match, combined with shared values, interests and proximity for a fuller picture than astrology alone.
What age do you need to be to use Datezy?
Datezy is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. This applies to the whole app, including live video.
How do I verify my profile on Datezy?
You verify your profile by taking a short video selfie with a liveness check. Once verified, you get a badge other users can trust, and you can also filter to see verified profiles only.
Can I video chat with strangers on Datezy?
Yes — Datezy's live video mode matches you with random people for a face-to-face video chat, and you can tap Next anytime to meet someone else. It is 18+ only, AI-moderated for explicit content, and has one-tap reporting that can quickly ban abusive accounts.
How do I cancel Datezy Gold?
Datezy Gold can be cancelled anytime from your account settings. You keep the Gold features until the end of the period you have paid for, and you are not locked into a long contract.
Is Datezy legit?
Yes. Datezy is a real UK dating platform operated by Mando Systems Ltd, with video-selfie verification, UK GDPR-compliant data handling, transparent pricing and clear safety tools. It is free to join, so you can try it without paying anything.
How do I stay safe when online dating?
Keep conversations on the app until you trust someone, never share financial details, video chat before meeting, meet first in a public place and tell a friend your plans, and report anyone who makes you uncomfortable. Datezy supports this with video-selfie verification, in-app video calls, blocking and one-tap reporting.
Does Datezy cost money to message matches?
No. Once you match with someone, messaging them is always free on Datezy — there is no paywall to reply. Chatting is part of the free experience.
