Questions people ask
Is Fling Compass a dating site?
No. We're an independent guide. We don't host profiles or messages. We review dating sites and apps, explain how to cancel them, and point you to safe places to meet.
How do you make money?
Some links are adverts: if you join a site through them we may earn a commission. Those links are labelled Ad before you click, and they never change our scores or the order of our lists.
Do you invent ratings?
No. Each brand gets five sub-scores, each tied to one fact we checked on its official pages, and the overall score is their plain average. If we couldn't confirm a fact, it isn't scored.
