Hinge Alternative That's Free to Join — Datezy
Datezy is a UK dating app that's free to join — swipe, match, chat and use every filter without paying. Want unlimited likes and to see exactly who's liked you? Datezy Gold is one straightforward plan from £10 a month, with no confusing premium tiers. Plus Cosmic Match, video-selfie verified profiles and genuine inclusivity.
Hinge is a relationship-focused app built around prompt-led profiles and the famous "designed to be deleted" promise. It's genuinely good at sparking real conversations and encouraging intentional dating, and many people find meaningful matches there. That said, the free experience is limited: daily likes are capped and key features, including seeing who's already liked you, sit behind its paid Preferred tiers, so getting the full experience generally means paying.
Why switch to Datezy
Datezy keeps things simple: it's free to join, with profiles, swiping, matching, chatting, all filters and 25 likes a day for everyone. Unlimited likes and the full "who likes you" gallery come with Datezy Gold — one honest plan from £10/month, not a ladder of upsells. It's UK-built, video-selfie verified, and genuinely inclusive with 20 genders and 14 orientations.

Is Datezy free, or is there a catch?
It's free to join and use — 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 exactly who's liked you. No hidden charges, cancel anytime.
How is Datezy different from Hinge?
Both focus on real connections, but Hinge spreads key features across paid Preferred tiers. Datezy is free to join with just one simple Gold upgrade. It also adds Cosmic Match — blending star-sign compatibility with shared values, interests and proximity — plus genuinely inclusive identity options.
