CNM Dating App Reviews
Standardised reviews of every major platform for consensual non-monogamy. We use the same methodology for every review, pricing, verification, moderation, user base, and CNM-specific features, so you can compare across platforms without discount for how they're marketed.
Feeld
6.5 /10
Feeld Review: Is It Still the Best CNM Dating App?
The dominant CNM platform by network size, with optional photo verification now in place. Still let down by inconsistent moderation and pricing that's no longer published as one figure.
Best for: Urban CNM seekers, especially polyamorous and kink-curious users
OkCupid
4.5 /10
OkCupid for Non-Monogamous Dating
Real CNM value in partner-linking and compatibility matching, undercut by a 2026 FTC data-sharing settlement and a well-documented fake-profile problem. Use with your eyes open.
Best for: People who want a large user base with CNM-friendly profile options
#Open
6.5 /10
#Open Review: Events, Community, and Dating in One App
More than a dating app. The events and community layer is genuinely valuable. Smaller network than Feeld, but more intentional about CNM.
Best for: Community-oriented CNM people, especially in cities with active #Open event scenes
Kasidie
6 /10
Kasidie Review: Swinger Community Assessment
A long-running platform with real community depth for the swinging world. The UX is showing its age, but the network in key regions remains valuable.
Best for: Couples and singles in the swinging and lifestyle community
SLS
5 /10
SLS (SwingLifeStyle) Review: Time to Move On?
Once the dominant swinger platform. Significant technical and UX decline over recent years. The network still has value; the product itself increasingly doesn't.
Best for: Established members with existing SLS connections, hard to recommend for new joiners
Fab Swingers
6 /10
Fab Swingers Review: The UK Lifestyle Community's Home Platform
The dominant UK lifestyle platform, not by default, but because it has earned the community. Strong regional coverage, a functional free tier, and photo verification above the email-only norm, though moderation and UX are dated.
Best for: UK swinging and lifestyle community, couples, single females, and single males in that order
Grindr
5 /10
Grindr for CNM: How It Works for Non-Monogamous Queer Men
Non-monogamy is normalised to an unusual degree, and reach for gay and bi CNM men is unmatched. Weighed down by a documented GDPR enforcement history, a well-reported sextortion problem, and 2026 price increases.
Best for: Gay and bisexual non-monogamous men in cities with active Grindr user bases
Hinge
5.5 /10
Hinge for Non-Monogamous Dating: An Honest Assessment
A relationship type field that includes non-monogamy, sitting on top of a large mainstream pool with no structural support behind it. Useful free supplement where Feeld is thin; hard to justify paying for.
Best for: CNM people who want mainstream reach in cities with active Hinge user bases
Bumble
5 /10
Bumble for Non-Monogamous Dating: An Honest Assessment
An ethical non-monogamy intention badge, with filtering by it locked behind a premium subscription. Women no longer have to message first. Supplementary mainstream reach, best run free.
Best for: CNM daters in cities with active Bumble user bases who want supplementary mainstream reach
Scruff
5 /10
Scruff Review: CNM for Gay and Bi Men
More community-oriented than Grindr, with events, groups, and longer profiles, but no CNM structural infrastructure and basic verification tooling. Run alongside Grindr rather than instead of it.
Best for: Gay and bi men interested in bears, leather, or kink; those wanting community depth beyond Grindr's grid
Tinder
4.5 /10
Tinder for Non-Monogamous Dating: An Honest Assessment
The most granular relationship-type field of any mainstream app, undermined by a swipe-first culture where profiles rarely get read before matching. Worth using only where Feeld and OkCupid have no active users.
Best for: CNM users in markets where Feeld and OkCupid have no active users
HER
5 /10
HER App Review: CNM Dating for Queer Women and Non-Binary People
The largest app for queer women and non-binary people. Non-monogamy is more normalised within its user base than on any mainstream straight app, but there's no CNM structural support and verification is email-only.
Best for: Queer women and non-binary CNM people in cities with active queer communities
Recon
6 /10
Recon Review: Leather, Fetish and Kink Dating for Gay Men
The dominant platform for gay men in the leather, fetish, and kink community, with profile depth and event coverage the general apps don't attempt. Reach is narrow by design and verification is basic.
Best for: Gay and bi men with leather, fetish, or kink interests, particularly those travelling to leather events
Plenty of Fish
3 /10
Plenty of Fish for Non-Monogamous Dating: An Honest Assessment
A very large but low-engagement user base with no CNM features and poor profile quality. In most markets, Tinder is a better mainstream fallback than PoF, and Feeld or OkCupid are better than both.
Best for: CNM users in smaller markets where all better options have no active users, a last resort
