AI dating tools, compared

Most AI dating tools are cheap — $4 to $30 a month — so we didn’t rank them on price. We ranked 7of the best-known ones by what actually matters: what they do with your data, the funnel around the subscription, and whether the claims hold up. Cleanest data & funnel = best grade.

3 carry high data risk · 3 process another person’s data · 1 publishes a real deletion policy. We take no money from any of them and run none of their affiliate links.

The grade reflects documented data & funnel dark patterns only — cross-app ad-tracking, needing your account access, processing a third party’s messages, manufactured-discount pricing, upsell ladders — credited back for genuine protections (a real deletion policy, no tracking, clean one-off pricing). It is not a measure of whether the tool works, which none here proves with data. A green grade is not an endorsement; absence of a flag is not proof of quality. Figures observed 2026-06-08 from each tool’s own site, its App Store listing, or a primary regulator notice. See methodology.
