Pros and cons
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 does MapleFling cost to join?+
