Privacy, billing and cancelling
Mamba is run by Media Solutions, LLC, and the store listing states that it tracks purchases, identifiers and diagnostics: Tracks purchases, identifiers, diagnostics. There is no licence or regulator named for the brand, so nothing in the listing points to a formal certification. Billing runs on a subscription that auto-renews, and the stated way out is to unsubscribe in account settings: Auto-renews; unsubscribe in account settings. Plan lengths sit at VIP status: 7, 30 or 90 day subscriptions. If a clean data footprint matters most to you, read the privacy wording before you buy anything.
Pricing and free tier
The app itself is free, and the paid extras are profile boost, hide and gifts: App free; profile boost, hide and gifts paid. On the paid side, monthly cost starts at $2.99, which sits below the €14 median in this ranking. Paid status comes as VIP status: 7, 30 or 90 day subscriptions. Beyond that, spending is a separate layer: Coins and per-message rate payments. Budget for the subscription and for the coins separately, since a VIP tier does not include the per-message rates.
Members and plans
Mamba lists singles worldwide, all genders and orientations as its audience: Singles worldwide, all genders and orientations. The company claims 60 million registered users (claim, undated), though that figure carries no date. Niche tags cover casual, lgbtq and gay, which places it in the broad casual lane rather than a single-interest community. Paid status is sold as VIP status: 7, 30 or 90 day subscriptions, and messages beyond the free allowance are charged under Coins and per-message rate payments. Adults looking for a wide, mixed pool will find the focus broad; readers wanting one defined community will not.
