The quick answer
Feeld if network size is your priority. It has more users in more cities, and the probability of finding matches in any major urban area is higher.
#Open if you value community over volume. Its events layer, intentional CNM culture, and education content create a different kind of experience, less swipe-heavy, more community-oriented.
Side-by-side comparison
| Criteria | Feeld | #Open |
|---|---|---|
| User base size | 2M+ active users globally | Smaller, concentrated in key cities |
| Community events | Not a primary feature | Core feature, regular events in key cities |
| CNM intentionality | High, built for CNM | Very high, with education content and resources |
| Profile depth | Strong Desires system | Good CNM-specific options |
| Verification | Email only | Email only |
| Pricing (approx.) | ~£15/month premium | Similar range |
| Best use case | Finding individuals/couples for dates and connections | Community entry point; events and social connection |
The events layer
#Open's events integration is its most distinctive feature. For people new to CNM communities who want a lower-stakes way to meet people in person, without the pressure of one-to-one dating, this is genuinely valuable. Feeld doesn't offer this.
Conclusion
These two platforms aren't competing for exactly the same use case. Feeld is primarily a dating app. #Open is a community platform with dating built in. The right choice depends on what you actually want from an CNM platform.
If you're new to CNM: #Open's events may be a useful entry point alongside Feeld's broader network.
