  • Monthly price from KRW 4,400 sits under the hookup category median of €13.57.

Cons

  • Support runs on email only, with no other listed channel.

Who it suits

  • Adults in Korea who want members screened before they meet (Member screening, ID check and selfie photo).
  • People who prefer a ribbon credit balance over a flat monthly fee (Ribbon virtual currency for use and purchases).
  • Readers who want an app and verified profiles in the same place (app and verified profiles).

Who should look elsewhere

  • Readers who want a flat monthly price with no credit currency, since Amanda bills on ribbons (Ribbon virtual currency for use and purchases).
  • Anyone who needs support beyond email.
  • Readers who want their data to stay in their own country, as Amanda sends data to Japan and the US (Privacy policy; data sent to Japan and US).

Billing and cancelling

Billing runs on a ribbon virtual currency used for purchases and in-app use, and the free download does not include ribbon credits, so spending is topped up by pack. The store lists One-time ribbon packs 30-300, plus subscriptions, which mixes a single purchase with an ongoing plan, so what you pay each month depends on the option you pick and how much ribbon you use. Monthly price from KRW 4,400 is the reference point, below the hookup category median of €13.57. Cancellation is handled as Refund within 7 days; cancel in app or store. The privacy side is short: a published privacy policy, and Privacy policy; data sent to Japan and US covers data sent to Japan and the US.

Using the service

The audience is described as Screened members seeking real offline dates, which sets the tone: the service is built around people who intend to meet in person rather than keep chatting. Scale is the other side of it, with 7M+ cumulative members (as of 2026-09-26) on record, a cumulative figure that counts everyone who has ever signed up rather than active members on a given day. Combined with screening, that gives a large pool filtered for intent, which is the trade-off this brand asks you to weigh against sites that prioritise volume over verification. Convenience comes from the app, so the service is phone-first rather than a browser site.

Members and plans

The stated audience is Screened members seeking real offline dates, and the pool behind it stands at 7M+ cumulative members (as of 2026-09-26) cumulative. What you can do with the account is paid for in ribbons, the virtual currency the service uses for use and purchases (Ribbon virtual currency for use and purchases), and the available options are One-time ribbon packs 30-300, plus subscriptions. The casual niche is the one Amanda sits in, which on this site's comparison of hookup sites is shared with 61.6% of the brands listed. So the membership pitch is screening plus real dates, while the spending model is credits rather than a single fee.

What is free and what costs

The headline is KRW 4,400 as the monthly starting point, and the free side is Free to download; paid ribbon credit packs. Paying is separate: One-time ribbon packs 30-300, plus subscriptions and Ribbon virtual currency for use and purchases together explain the structure, ribbon packs sold as single purchases alongside subscriptions, with ribbons spent on use and purchases. Read it as a credit balance rather than a subscription you can reason about from a single number, because the pack size and how fast you spend it decide the effective monthly cost. For context, the hookup category median is €13.57 and the wider ranking median is €14.58.

The company behind it

Amanda is run by Linkhub Co., Ltd. (no. 191-81-03369), based in South Korea, and has been trading since 2014. Support is listed as email, so a question goes by email rather than to a phone line or live chat, which is worth weighing before you pay. There is no licence listed for the brand, so the operating details here are the company registration and the app store record rather than a regulator. The company section is short by design: registered operator, home country, start year and one support channel.
