Questions about each

DeutscherCupid

What does DeutscherCupid cost?+

Fees start at €16.99 and are bought as one-off credit packs, since One-off credit packs; no subscription rules out any subscription. The figure is an entry price, so the pack you choose and the number of replies you send set the real total.

Is anything free to use?+

Registration is free. Free registration; replies need paid credits makes the boundary clear: signing up costs nothing, while replies need paid credits. Browsing and messaging therefore work differently, and only the first part is free.

Fetisch.de

How much does Fetisch.de cost, and what is included at no charge?+

The pricing model is free, and the plan list is Free, Premium, VIP, Dominatrix. The core of the site, Free registration, profiles, messages, chat, forum, is available without a paid tier, so nothing has to be spent to have a profile, browse or write a message. Paid options add extras on top of that base rather than unlocking basic contact.

How does billing work, and can I get a refund?+

Terms are Auto-renews; 14-day withdrawal; cancel to term end. That means a paid plan renews on its own, there is a withdrawal period after signing up, and a cancellation takes effect at the end of the term rather than immediately. Readers who want to stop should decide before a renewal rather than after one.
