The UK Dating App That's Free to Join

Most dating apps say "free to download," then lock the bits that matter behind a stack of subscriptions. Datezy keeps it honest: it's free to join and use — swipe, match, chat, use every filter and send 25 likes a day at no cost. The only optional extra is Datezy Gold (from £10/month) for unlimited likes and seeing exactly who's liked you. Built in the UK, video-selfie verified, with a "Cosmic Match" that blends star signs, shared values and proximity.

The big-name apps are genuinely good at what they do — slick design, huge user bases and real matches happen daily. But the model is the same almost everywhere: free to download, then the features that actually move things along sit behind paid tiers. Seeing who already likes you, unlimited likes, advanced filters, rewinds and boosts typically cost extra, often via auto-renewing subscriptions. The polish is real; so is the paywall.

Why switch to Datezy

Datezy keeps the essentials genuinely free: build a profile, swipe, match, chat, use all filters and send 25 likes a day — no card needed. If you want unlimited likes and the full "who's liked you" gallery, there's one simple Gold plan from £10/month, instead of the usual ladder of premium tiers, boosts and add-ons. It's UK-built, inclusive (20 genders, 14 orientations), free of dark patterns, and verifies profiles with a video selfie.

FAQ

Is Datezy free, or is there a catch?

It's genuinely free to join and use — building a profile, swiping, matching, chatting, all filters and 25 likes a day cost nothing. The only paid option is Datezy Gold (from £10/month) for unlimited likes and seeing who's liked you. No card needed to start, and you can cancel anytime.

Do I have to pay to see who likes me?

Seeing exactly who's liked you is part of Datezy Gold (from £10/month). Everything else — your profile, swiping, matching, chatting, all filters and 25 likes a day — is free. Unlike apps with several premium tiers, Datezy keeps it to one simple, cancel-anytime plan.
