Our verdict on each
CheekyCrush

Fling
Fling suits adults who want casual hookups and can budget a mid-range subscription, since monthly fees of $14.95 to $29.95 sit above the site median. Free registration, browse and search, plus ID and selfie age verification, give it more substance than a credit-only app, while auto-renewal asks for a calendar reminder.

- Straight and same-sex dating in a single audience: Adults 18+, straight and same-sex dating
- Listed niches cover casual, mature, LGBTQ, gay and lesbian dating: casual, mature and lgbtq

Fling
Pros
- Free registration, browse and search all members (Free registration, browse and search all members), so you can look through the member list before paying anything.
- Age verification runs on ID plus a selfie, with a webcam badge on the profile (ID plus selfie age verification; webcam badge), and the US App Store listing stands at App Store (US) 4.5/5 from 685 ratings.
- Support covers email, phone and help centre, so phone and email are both there rather than email alone.
Cons
- Monthly fees of $14.95 to $29.95 sit above the site median of €14, and cheaper brands such as EroFantasie list €0.67 to €1.50.
- Memberships auto-renew, and cancelling has to be completed before the renewal date (Auto-renews; cancel 24 hours before renewal), so a forgotten change carries the next term.
- Spending can come through credit packs in the app as well as paid monthly plans (Credit packs in app; also paid monthly plans), so the total depends on what you top up on top of a membership.

What can I use without paying?+
Joining is Free sign-up, no price stated, so sign-up costs nothing and no price is stated for anything else. The details do not itemise which features, if any, sit behind a paid tier, so the free scope is not spelled out feature by feature.
Fling
What does Fling cost per month?+
Monthly fees run $14.95 to $29.95, above the median of €14 across the brands compared here. Memberships are sold as 1, 6, 12 and 18-month memberships; feature profile, and credit packs bought in the app (Credit packs in app; also paid monthly plans) add spending on top of a plan if you use the paid extras.
Can I use Fling without paying?+
Yes for the basics.
