About datingfile.
We're building the most honest directory of dating apps, sites, and AI companions on the internet. Every review is based on 60+ days of real testing. No paid placements. No affiliate-only bias.
How we review
Every dating site and app we cover goes through our 5-pillar review framework:
- User Base & Activity — Active members, gender ratio, age demographics, geographic coverage
- Features & UX — App quality, matching algorithm, communication tools, unique features
- Pricing & Value — Free tier usefulness, premium cost, cancellation policy, value for money
- Safety & Privacy — Verification, moderation, data handling, reporting mechanisms
- Success Rate — Real user outcomes, testimonials, reputation, track record
We pay for premium tiers ourselves. We create real profiles. We test every feature. The verdict is never bought.
The numbers
6 sites reviewed across 12 categories, with 6 in-depth guides. We update reviews monthly and add new sites every week.
Why AI companions?
Most dating directories ignore AI dating entirely. We don't. AI companions are a legitimate and growing part of the dating landscape in 2026 — from Replika to Candy AI to dozens of newer platforms. We review them with the same rigor as traditional dating apps.
Independence
datingfile.com is independently operated. We may earn revenue through affiliate partnerships, but we never let that influence our scores or verdicts. Sites that pay us affiliates get the same 5-pillar treatment as everyone else. If a site is bad, we say so — even if they're a partner.
