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.
Killing Kittens
What plans does Killing Kittens sell?+
Killing Kittens sets its offer as membership tiers: Full (Kitten) or Guest membership, plus X-PLUS. Full (Kitten) is the full tier and Guest is the lighter entry, with X-PLUS as the add on. Access runs through an app, so the tiers sit on one account rather than across separate services.
Do I need to verify before I can use it?+
Yes, Photo and ID required to apply is the entry condition. An application needs a photo and ID before the account goes live, so screening happens at the door rather than after a complaint. It also narrows who you can browse alongside you, since only approved applicants get in.
