Pros and cons
ALT.com
Pros
- Free sign up, since Free registration with limited access means you can look before you pay.
- Starting price of $8.33 per month, which is below the site median of €14.
- A clear Fetish and BDSM dating community, so you know the focus of the site before you register.
Cons
- Free use is limited: Free registration with limited access covers registration only.
- Plans come as Silver and Gold in Silver and Gold in 1, 3, 12 months, so a paid tier is needed for full access.
- Support runs on help centre only, which is fewer channels than some sites in the same ranking.
BDSM Singles
Pros
- The free tier covers a profile, photos, search and a daily flirt allowance (Free profile, photos, search, 10 flirts/day), and free access is confirmed as the model in free.
- Verification runs on a phone number with an optional photo badge (Phone number and optional photo verification badge), against a verified profile share of 56.6% across listings.
- An app and verified profiles both appear in the feature list (app and verified profiles); an app is carried by 76.5% of listings.
Cons
- Subscriptions renew automatically and cancellation runs through settings (Auto-renew; cancel in settings, no refund), so a forgotten cancellation is billed again.
- Flirts are limited each day, and Free profile, photos, search, 10 flirts/day sets out the ceiling that a paid plan lifts.
- The photo badge is optional beside the phone check (Phone number and optional photo verification badge), so a badge marks effort rather than a checked profile.

Is there a free tier on ALT.com?+
Registration is free, with limited access to the service. Browsing on the free tier is possible, but a paid plan is what opens up the wider Fetish and BDSM dating community.
BDSM Singles
What does BDSM Singles cost per month?+
Plan lengths are published as 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, trial: a monthly term, a longer quarterly term, a yearly term and a trial. The per month figure moves with the term chosen, and the free tier in Free profile, photos, search, 10 flirts/day sets what you get before paying.

What is free on BDSM Singles?+
A free profile, photos, search and a daily flirt allowance, listed as Free profile, photos, search, 10 flirts/day, with free access confirmed as the model in free. Sending more each day than that allowance is what moves a member onto a plan, so the free tier is a real test of the audience.
