INDEPENDENT RESEARCH. BETTER DATING DECISIONS.How we research
Behind the publication

About Swipe or Pass

The purpose and approach behind Swipe or Pass, an independent dating-platform research publication.

By Swipe or Pass EditorialReviewed & updated

Swipe or Pass helps adults decide which dating platforms may fit their goals, budget, preferences and safety expectations. It is an independent research and comparison publication.

We read the fine print

What can you do for free? What does verification actually check? Who bills you, and how do you stop it? We make those questions part of the decision.

No pretend dates

Our publisher has not personally joined, used or tested these platforms. Articles use Swipe or Pass Editorial, the publication’s editorial byline. It is not a claim that a panel of firsthand testers exists.

A publication, not a dating service

We do not create matches, host profiles, offer accounts or collect dating information. Our recommendation tool runs in your browser. Its suggestions are starting points, not predictions.
