Pros and cons
Fetisch.de
Pros
- Membership stands at Many hundreds of thousands of members, and the service has run since 2004.
- Nothing has to be spent for the basics: the model is free, and Free registration, profiles, messages, chat, forum sit outside the paid plans, where Senior.dk Dating needs a paid VIP to make contact.
- The feature set covers app and verified profiles, and profile verification is Free authenticity check (#SSC) with green tick.
Cons
- Paid tiers are layered: Free, Premium, VIP, Dominatrix sit on top of free, so a reader who wants extras moves past the basics quickly.
- Billing is easy to leave running: Auto-renews; 14-day withdrawal; cancel to term end.
- Credits are not money back: Points system, no cash payout of credits.
Sub or Dom
Pros

- The audience is specific: BDSM subs, doms and switchers, which keeps the pool narrow rather than general
- Profiles go through strict verification, and verified profiles are part of what the service offers Profiles go through strict verification
Cons
- You can read and browse without paying, but a free account does not cover the whole paid side, which sits behind Free and VIP membership
- The stated activity figures cover new signups and a past year of logins, not the total active base, so 30k new users monthly; 10m logins in 2022 gives an activity snapshot rather than a size
- Support runs on chat, email and help centre only, so there is no direct-call option listed

Questions about each
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.
Sub or Dom
Is it free to use Sub or Dom?+
Yes, for the core of it. The service states Free to join, browse and match, which covers joining, browsing and matching at no charge. A paid tier exists alongside that, since Free and VIP membership sets out free and VIP membership as the two options, so the money comes later if you want the paid side.
How discreet is billing on the bank statement?+
The published position is a discreet bank statement with no sharing with a third party, as stated in Discreet bank statement; no 3rd party sharing. That is the only billing disclosure on record, and no payment processors are named, so check the descriptor on your own statement after the first charge.
