Our verdict
Chat&Yamo is a free-start dating service for adults who want serious dating with diaspora singles worldwide, and it lists 4,000,000+ users worldwide (site, 2026). Paid packs start at XOF 5,000 a month, with every profile checked by moderators, so the trade-off is verification and reach against a limited free tier.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A free version covers many features, with premium packs sold separately, so you can look around before paying
- Every profile is manually verified by moderators, which is more checking than a listing with unverified profiles
- An audience focus on serious dating and diaspora singles worldwide gives you a narrower, more defined pool than a general site
- The app rating stands at App Store (US) 4.2/5 from 1,042 ratings
- Plans are laid out clearly, with Monthly, 3, 6, 12-month: Solo, Diaspora, Premium Plus tiers to compare
Cons
- Support runs on email and help centre only, so help is written rather than spoken
- Subscriptions Auto-renews; cancel in store settings; no refund once used, which means a renewal can be easy to miss
- The free tier is limited, since paid packs add most of what casual, mature and discreet users want
- The starting price of XOF 5,000 a month sits above the €0.67 to €1.50 and €0.83 to €2.50 entry points
Who it suits
- Adults looking for serious dating rather than quick matches
- People who want every profile checked by a person
- Diaspora singles who want a matching audience focus
Who should look elsewhere
- People who need phone support, since support runs on email and a help centre only
- Readers who want a native euro price, since the entry point is XOF 5,000
- Anyone who wants a refund after using a pack, since terms are Auto-renews; cancel in store settings; no refund once used
Members and plans
Chat&Yamo lists 4,000,000+ users worldwide (site, 2026), with an audience focus of Serious dating, diaspora singles worldwide. That combination is the first thing to weigh. A large user base is useful for volume, but the stated focus decides whether the people you meet share your background and intentions. The service is positioned for serious dating rather than casual browsing, so the pool is filtered by intent before you start. Plans run as Monthly, 3, 6, 12-month: Solo, Diaspora, Premium Plus. Each tier is sold on the same length choices, so the decision comes down to which feature set you want rather than which billing period suits you. Longer periods cost less per month in practice, and the monthly option is the flexible one if you are unsure. A monthly pack also includes 4 ad credits of 5000 XOF with monthly pack. Credits are what you spend on the paid actions inside the app, so a pack that looks small in price terms still sets how much you can do before the next top-up. Read the pack contents alongside the plan length, because the two features are separate.
Using the service
The service runs as app alongside the website, and it lists 4,000,000+ users worldwide (site, 2026). An app-led service suits anybody who wants to browse in short sessions rather than sit at a desk, and the store listing carries a rating of App Store (US) 4.2/5 from 1,042 ratings from people who downloaded it. The audience focus is Serious dating, diaspora singles worldwide, which shapes what a profile needs to say. If your background is part of how you want to be found, spelling that out in your profile is more useful here than on a general site. Members are spread worldwide rather than concentrated in a single market, so location filters do a lot of the early work. The casual, mature and discreet labels are part of the positioning, so a discreet approach to your profile is understood by the audience.
What is free and what costs
The entry price is XOF 5,000 a month, and there is a free version that covers many features. That split is what makes the service readable at the start: you can browse and get a feel for the audience before any pack, and the paid tiers are an addition rather than the only way in. Plan options are Monthly, 3, 6, 12-month: Solo, Diaspora, Premium Plus, so the same feature set is available on a monthly basis or on longer commitments. Longer terms bring the monthly figure down, while the monthly plan keeps the decision reversible. The credit side of a monthly pack is 4 ad credits of 5000 XOF with monthly pack, which is the balance that funds paid actions once you are inside the app. For comparison, the starting monthly prices on the sites next to this one sit at DKK 2.30 and €0.67 to €1.50, so the difference is worth measuring against how much you expect to use the paid features.
Billing and cancelling
On privacy, Privacy and cookie policies published on site. The policy being available is a starting point, and the honest test is whether the terms say what happens to your profile and messages, so read the published policy before you upload anything you would want removed later. On billing, the terms are Auto-renews; cancel in store settings; no refund once used. This is the most important line for anybody weighing a monthly pack, because a renewal set in store settings will not stop on its own and a used pack is not refunded. Set a reminder the day you subscribe rather than the day you think you will stop using it. The credit model of 4 ad credits of 5000 XOF with monthly pack interacts with that timing. Credits are consumed as you use paid actions, so a cancellation stops future billing but leaves whatever credits are left on the account as they are.
The company behind it
The operator is Affinity Square US Inc., registered in the United States. A named US company is useful context for anybody who wants to know who is behind the service before they hand over personal details, and the terms are published rather than hidden behind a sign-up wall. Support runs on email and help centre. Email suits documentation questions about a subscription or a charge, and a help centre covers the common cases, but there is no spoken channel if you would rather talk a problem through with a person. Pricing is quoted in a West African currency rather than a native local one, so readers paying in euros or dollars will see a conversion. The audience is worldwide, which fits the operator, but it is worth checking the final amount in your own currency at the point of payment.

Frequently asked questions
What does Chat&Yamo cost to use each month?+
The starting price is XOF 5,000 a month, and plan options are Monthly, 3, 6, 12-month: Solo, Diaspora, Premium Plus. A free version with many features is available too, so the paid tiers are optional rather than required to browse. A monthly pack also brings 4 ad credits of 5000 XOF with monthly pack, which funds the paid actions inside the app.
Is there a free version and what does it include?+
Yes, there is a free version with many features, while premium packs are sold on top of it. That means you can register, set a profile and browse the audience before deciding on a pack. The free tier and the paid tiers are separate, so the packs decide how far you go rather than whether you can enter at all.
Are profiles on Chat&Yamo verified?+
All profiles are manually verified by moderators, which is a stronger check than an unmoderated listing. The same audience focus of Serious dating, diaspora singles worldwide shapes who is signing up, so verification and audience are separate strengths here. The app listing carries a rating of App Store (US) 4.2/5 from 1,042 ratings.
How do I cancel a Chat&Yamo subscription?+
The terms are Auto-renews; cancel in store settings; no refund once used. Because renewal is handled in store settings, a subscription will not end by itself, and a used pack is not refunded. Set the reminder at the point of subscribing, since the cancellation route is inside the store rather than in the app.
How do I contact Chat&Yamo support?+
Support runs on email and help centre. Email suits documentation questions about a charge or a pack, and the help centre covers the common cases. There is no spoken channel listed, so a phone conversation is not part of the setup.
Who operates Chat&Yamo?+
The operator is Affinity Square US Inc., registered in the United States. A named company with published terms gives you something concrete to read before you upload personal details. The privacy side is covered separately, with Privacy and cookie policies published on site.
Is Chat&Yamo aimed at an international audience?+
The audience focus is Serious dating, diaspora singles worldwide, and the service lists 4,000,000+ users worldwide (site, 2026). Members are spread worldwide rather than concentrated in a single market, which suits anybody willing to look beyond their own town.

What are the plan lengths and tiers?+
Plan options are Monthly, 3, 6, 12-month: Solo, Diaspora, Premium Plus. The same feature sets are offered on a monthly basis and on longer terms, so the choice is between flexibility and a lower monthly figure.
