Online dating is one of the most profitable niches online. It is estimated that the US market alone is worth more than $2 billion (which explains why there are so many advertisements for dating websites online!!).
I tested the dating niche myself a few years back by launching a small dating review website. I made a little money from it, but sold it on as I was focusing on other projects. Still, I got an inside view of how profitable the niche can be.
Rather than refer people to other dating services, why not start your own? Sure, it is difficult to compete with the marketing budgets of behemoths such as Match.com; however there is still a large market for unique dating websites that focus on something specific. For example, in the UK there are always adverts for uniform dating websites. And who knows, perhaps you could go down the freemium route and develop the next Plenty of Fish.
To help you start your own dating website, I checked out sixteen of the best dating scripts available online. The top end dating scripts retail for a few hundred dollars, though there are some cheaper alternatives available too. I hope you enjoy the list.
1. Dating Site Builder (From $29.95 Per Month)
Dating Site Builder is a dating application that promises that your website can created in just five minutes. It uses a templating system for designing your website. You can style things yourself or use one of the many templates available.
The software uses PHP and a license will grant you to the full source code. They provide a full all in one solution for a number of dating niches such as escorts, dating, adult dating, adult social networking, and adult webcam chat.
A premium plan for Dating Site Builder retails at $29.95 per month. Their small business plan retails at $49.95 per month and offers additional features such as webcam chat and matchmaking. To access all features, you need to subscribe to their corporate plan at $99.95 per month.
2. SkaDate ($399)
SkaDate is a PHP online dating and community script that has 100% unencrypted source code. It boasts many great features such as speed dating, a matchmaking system, photo verifications, events and more.
The social networking aspect of the script is great. Users can update their own blog and upload photo albums, music, and videos. There are many templates available for selection so you should find something to fit your project. A few add ons are available too, such as a mobile application suite. Though these add ons will cost you extra.
A license for SkaDate retails at $399 and comes with free software updates and free installation on your domain. Forum support is also provided free of charge. You will also get one month of free ticket support. Beyond that, ticket support will cost you $95 per month.
3. Dating Script (From $149.95)
Dating Script is a customisable dating solution that great content management functionality and a rich user profile system. It comes with integrated advertising features and anti-spam control. It also has a built in classifieds system and a virtual gift system that allows users to send gifts to each other.
A starter plan retails at $149.95. Updating to the professional plan at $199.95 gives you access to features such as blogs, virtual gifts, and videos. Stepping up to the business plan at $249.95 will also add classifieds and music support. All licenses include free installation, free support, and free updates.
4. PG Dating Pro (From $299)
PG Dating Pro is a customizable dating application that has been optimized for mobile devices. They have been around since 1999.
It offers a lot of ways to make money from your website, such as charging users to send messages and for access to premium features such as instant messenger. The overall quality of the design and admin interface is high. You certainly won’t be disappointed in that respect.
A basic license for PG Dating Pro costs $299. An extra $49 has to be paid to remove branding. To get access to the open source code, you need to pay $599. I was a little surprised that they charge an extra $300 for access to the source code, as their home page proudly declares that “Dating Pro is an open source PHP dating software for everyone”. However, on the plus side, the open source plan does come with brand removal as default.
More expensive packages are available that come with additional features and add ons. Thankfully, there is a free trial available that lets you try the application.
UPDATE: I later published a detailed review of PG Dating Pro. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the script and found it to be slow, outdated, and expensive.
5. AspNetDating (From €290.00)
As the name suggests, AspNetDating is a dating application that was developed upon the ASP.NET platform. It features social media integration support for Facebook, Twitter, Skype and MySpace, dynamic searching using profile photos, Google Maps integration, chat rooms, and a classifieds option. Banner and Google Adsense advertising can also be integrated into the design.
A theme manager is available in the admin area and there are lots of pre-made dating skins to select. The software has been optimised for mobile devices too.
A license for AskNetDating retails at €290.00 and includes free installation, support, and software updates. They charge a whopping €490.00 for access to the source code. The module for chat costs €200 and €300 if you want audio and video streaming.
The costs don’t stop there. A video converter plugin will cost you €180.00, a video streaming plugin will cost you €180.00, and a plugin that helps you find faces in photos costs €280.00. Of course, all of these added expenses are optional. If you don’t need access to the source code, chat support, or video and face cropping options; then all you will pay is €290.00.
6. Sweet Date ($58)
Sweet Date is a premium dating WordPress theme that works in conjunction with the WordPress plugins BuddyPress, bbPress, and WooCommerce. The design is mobile friendly and can handle recurring payments through Stripe, Authorize.net, or PayPal. You can also offer trials to potential customers.
Members can display their online status to others and upload photos to an album. It comes packaged with three different skins and the Slider Revolution plugin to ensure your home page looks great.
A license for Sweet Date retails at $58 from ThemeForest.
7. LoveStory – $58
Another good option for WordPress users is LoveStory. The dating theme is mobile friendly and comes with great features for members such as live chat, private messaging, Facebook login, and virtual gifts.
It can support multiple membership levels and accept payments as it has WooCommerce support. Styling and colours can be edited through the settings area.
As both LoveStory and Sweet Date work with WordPress, you can expand your dating membership in many wonderful ways. You can add a blog, forums, directories, galleries, and much more.
A license for LoveStory retails at $58 from ThemeForest.
8. VLD Personals (From $99.95)
VLD Personals is a feature rich dating script that features instant messaging, private messaging, video sharing, music uploads, and blogs. It supports multiple membership levels, paid and trial memberships, and anti-spam protection. Several popular payment gateways are supported and it can be integrated with a discussion forum script.
Two different licenses are available. The personal license retails at $99.95, while the commercial license retails for $199.95. The difference between the two is a “Powered By” credit link on personal license websites. Both licenses come with lifetime support and one year of updates. You can upgrade to the commercial license from the personal license by simply paying the difference.
9. Chameleon (From $224)
Chameleon is a PHP based social networking and dating script that offers online chat, a hot or not rating system, a love calculator, and a built in affiliate system. It also has a featured member system.
Although it is sold as a dating script, it comes across more as a general social networking solution, however you may want to check it out for its quirky dating features such as hot or not.
The core engine of the script costs $97 for one domain. The oryx add on, which is necessary to create a dating website, retails at $127. Therefore, you would have to spend at least $224 to get the features you need for a dating website. Other modules are available to extend functionality further, such as mobile frameworks and membership extensions.
10. iCupid ($299)
iCupid is a dating script that has great social media integration. It features dozens of built in templates, custom fields, and built in payment options. Website statistics are provided through the administration area, however you can also integrate Google Analytics. Google Adsense can also be integrated to help you earn additional income.
iCupid was originally marketed as eMeeting and retailed at between $155 and $635. It had a number of bad reviews online, however it was bought over by the software company Advantate. They have completely overhauled the software and the pricing structure.
The new version is sold at a flat rate of $299. This grants you access to the source code and includes free support and free upgrades forever. It also features one year of free hosting.
11. SoftDatePro ($39)
SoftDatePro is a PHP dating script that supports paid memberships, live chat, and an email messaging system. It includes a few different matching systems to encourage interactions between members.
Photo uploads are also available and members can search for others using basic and advanced fields. Registrations, member payments, content, and other settings, can all be controlled via the admin area.
The script is available from CodeCanyon for only $39.
12. MyMatch ($50)
MyMatch is a stylish dating solution that features a user friendly member system. Members can search profiles of other members and send them private messages. Users, content, and membership levels, can all be controlled via the admin area.
MyMatch can be purchased for a one off fee of $50. Each purchase comes with the full source code and original Photoshop files.
13. iDateMedia ($495)
iDateMedia is a professional dating script that supports streaming flash video, lightbox images, and photo galleries. It comes with many different themes and can support an internal blog and discussion forum. The software also has support for Skype, SMS message updates, and member groups.
A license for iDateMedia retails from $199 for the basic package. The more expensive plans include website hosting.
Each license offers one year of software updates and support and comes with the original source code.
14. Softbiz Dating Script ($99)
Softbiz Dating Script is a PHP based solution that comes with built in shopping cart functionality and banner ad system. It also supports affiliate ads and Google adsense.
The script allows you display featured members, image galleries, who is online and more. The basic design of the script reminds me of Plenty of Fish, though it remains functional. A license for Softbiz costs a one off fee of $99.
15. WPDating (FREE)
WPDating is a premium WordPress dating plugin that comes with seven dating templates, custom memberships, mass emailing, and a built-in affiliate program.
The plugin retails at $149. Without doubt, it is one of the best solutions available for WordPress users due to the number of options it offers.
16. DateMill (FREE)
There is a reason why there are no free scripts listed in this article: They all suck. I checked out dozens of free scripts. Their designs were poor and they had not been updated in years.
Sadly, DateMill is the best of a bad bunch; however I wanted to ensure there was at least on option for those of you on a budget. In my opinion, you would be better using the free script BuddyPress instead of this. It was not designed specifically for dating websites, however it is a fantastic community script and is updated frequently.
I hope you found this list of dating applications useful. The dating niche is huge. Even if you can only get a small share of the market, you might make a lot of money.
Some of the solutions in the above list are expensive. Therefore, be sure to check out the demo of the front and anf the administration area. If no demo is available, contact the developer of the script and ask if you can get temporary access in order to test the script.
If you know of any other great dating scripts, please let me know in the comment area below.
Thanks,
Kevin
abledating chameleon social (whatever they all themselves now) are RUDE & LIARS. DO NOT BUY!
I purchased abledating with LIFETIME FREE UPDATES
I sent them a ticket in 2017 and more in 2018, they clearly and conveniently forget that people bought this software with LIFETIME FREE UPDATES, and then ramble online in reviews that they cannot survive when people aren’t paying for updates, sorry champs but that aint my problem.
Just make your granny create a script for you and it will be free :-D
All these scripts are 99% overpriced.
But they create each app manually for each client, it is written on their website. You might as well order new apps from scratch. Would cost a bit though.
Chameleon Social for me is the best script in 2017. I dont care about support because no need it im using few years the same script first was abledating the old and unique version now with the same members more than 10.000+ im using the chameleon dating nulled. Im using nulled version with no call backs because i null it. And im happy. Im looking for someone who has the last version of the script Android/IPhone ap to contact me and send me the download link.
As soon as this crook (Rick Jacobson from “AdvanDate”) gets a negative comment he writes 3 (!) positive reviews about himself to bury the negative comment. Proof: https://www.dropbox.com/s/63c1teso6wqiqk5/haa.png?dl=0
He wrote all these comments on the same day.
AdvanDate is a scam that should be avoided at all costs. He speaks with his clients rudely and hates all of them. He states that all negative comments come from competition while ALL of the negative comments found on TrustPilot either have the “Verified order” badge (proof: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7i9opmg2jp7r6a/haaa.png?dl=0) or have been reported by Rick Jacobson as “this is not a client” and then republished by TrustPilot after checking the review and contacting the customer and finding out he REALLY spoke with Rick Jacobson as in the case of this review https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/598d281b4c250f07a07a0842
AdvanDate should be avoided at all costs. And I am not talking about the quality of the software now which is low, but about the personality of this person and his hatred towards everyone.
AdvanDate reviews can be wrong. Also check the below transcript:

This is how they reply on email:
“Ahhh, did the poor little baby get butthurt when he didn’t get his way? So sorry you’re a little snowflake and you can’t handle it. Go f… yourself f…. loser. We sell 500 units a month and don’t have time for winey reta… like you so go post your gay reviews, no one cares. ”
IS THAT THE COMPANY YOU WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH ????
I am thinking of trying http://www.wpdating.com plugins as their plugin are cheap and best starting from 149 and continuous support. I compared with lots of other plugin and this stands out among them.
Please tell me if anyone has used their plugin.
Dear Experts ,
I would like to buy https://www.chameleonsocial.com script s. is this good or not , how is their support .they will give full source code or not web and mobile app.please advice me
Hello!
Does anyone know any other dating software with Street Chat like this https://www.chameleonsocial.com/chameleon_street_chat.php
I really need it.
Thank you!
This guy crying over $50…
Don’t even think about them… they don’t care about you. Support is rubbish and litteraly they will leave you alone with all their bugs.
I would like to warn all those considering Skadate as an option.
I will just tell you: don’t do it!
Even though the platform is not bad (there are better), many of the features come in “plugins form”. Many of these plugins are made by third parties, and you will find that many just don’t work. If you tell the programmer, some will even ask you for your cPanel credentials. It wont matter if you give them the database and ftp access to a dev server.
On the other hand, support service is utterly rubbish. They don’t care even when you report them a bug. It can take them months to fix their own bugs. If you find a problem with your site, let’s say you install a plugin that’s not compatible and something else gets screwed, or for some reason something stop working (it happens) and you report this to support, they do NOTHING. They will email you back whenever suits them with an incomplete answer, which by the way if you reply, it will take them several days or even weeks to get back to you. So basically don’t even think of support as an option. You will be left alone.
Before I bought them in 2015, I read some good reviews (because of oxwall, which is not skadate, different team, different code) and other bad reviews dated from 2009. I told myself, well… coming from Oxwall, in 6 years I’m pretty sure they’ve sorted out their own problems. And my surprise is that what I read in the bad reviews was still true 6 years later. So, if you’re reading something bad about them, don’t even think they’re doing anything to sort it out.
After two years with them, and starting to have now serious traffic, I am looking for another solution. These guys have taken my money, my time and my health. Just flee from them.
Thank you for the thorough review Kevin! I’m hoping you will give me your opinion on full service providers that already have a system with customers in place and you use your own brand and marketing to bring in more and they mail you the payments. Do you think it’s a good way to get started on a tight budget? One downfall of starting from scratch is there are only a few customers in your data base and they have nobody to choose from. I value your opinion.
An idiot detected :-)
If you are treating owning a dating site like a hobby or very part time income, then any of the above might work, but if you want a solution that makes you tens of thousands a month or greater then avoid them all as they lack what you need.
To be honest, NONE of any of the above sites offer the solution needed for a successful dating site. What it requires is a custom built solution, with a specific feature set that none of the softwares offer.
When I contacted 4 of them about costs of developing the feature set that the big boys employto generate huge revenues, they all told me they wouldn’t develop it because nobody uses it…… and yet a company I work for uses it and turns over £2.2 million profit in 2015-16 financial year. It is the same feature that Ashley Madison, Dating Factory and White Label Dating all use, and have made them all $millions a year from, and yet not one of these amateur software scripts will consider it, which only proves to me that none of the dating script developers are anything but bedroom coders rather than dating industry experts.
Having worked in the adultdating industry for 14 years, I can assure you that these scripts only get designed so that the make sales from you, and you are left with no real after sales support or required features to generate big profits. That is why not one of the top 100 dating sites in the world (based on profits) use any of these scripts. They are too short sighted and keen to make $300 here and there from buggy scripts than care about customer 3,657 getting his script installed.
If there are any good developers wanting to consider creating a dating script with the RIGHT features (ones not seen in any above scripts) that not only provide excellent revenues for webmasters, but also for the developer, I would be interested in hearing from them. I believe it is very possible to create a huge dating franchise similar to White Label Dating. However, only serious people with the coding skills to create something will be considered, and preferably UK english speaking.

Have you give a try to pH7CMS
It’s a UK based company that provides a great freemium dating software, and open source. I think it doesn’t request google to see if the users’ images have already been used but it defenetly check if an image contents nudity.
It also provides a great fake profiles generator (in the Pro version).
I personally use it and very happy with
Hope it helps ;)
what about Skadate and datingscript.com ?
Hi again… I currently tried the vadoo site off codecanyon and wasnt very happy with that script due to it looked very cheap.. Still struggling to find the right dating script so at the minute im just running my own forum for now in which I have a topic called dating scripts and php scripts. So please anyone who would like to come comment on it and tell me what you suggest on which script is the best would be great.
I have only just made this forum so not many members yet. its http://smoochar.com hope its ok putting my link there kev just i need feedback and when I do get members on m y forum it be great for them to see the real legitimate sites out there.
I will place your website kev on my forum in the dating scripts section so members can visit your site. as am in middle of doing paid advertising so you should get some more visitors i hope as your blog is brilliant ive visited it a few times.
Chameleon Social is certainly the best software for social and dating sites out there now. Why? One can not create a site now without any 3D, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality features. It is 2017 people! Get back to Earth. No one is interested in more websites with just HTML pages and that is it. The web is developing into something new, not just pages. Ever heard about Pokemon GO? This is what is happening now. Everything is becoming more real, more 3D and multi faceted. This is why I chose this software for its 3D and interactive features. For example all of the members of my website just LOVE the Street Chat feature. They can use their own faces, their own streets and places of their own city, and chat. No one else has it now and probably will never have. But if you want a simple website with just HTML pages you could probably use another script, like SkaDate or PHPFox.
Loved the blog kevin, My name also kevin . I noticed datingpro.com as now got a 14day trial I am actually going to try this trial and am actually uploading this now to my FTP server I do hope it works ok .And support reckons it as all the features and yeah I agree about the prices so much to pay. I just want to see if the script is good enough as I do want to start my own dating website business. And also is there any scripts like badoo.com
Any way all I will update you when I tried the datingpro script..
I did think about going for the datingscript.com
So much to choose from not sure yet . Did want a cheap one tho any suggestions
My direct email for replies about custom built dating scripts is [email protected]
Hello
I am UK based and in the process of having the front end of a global sugar daddy dating website built, i have not done anything like this before.
I have looked at the leading sugar daddy site seekingarrangement.com and want to create something similar.
The front end website pages are being done in wordpress, but i need the back end database added using a robust customised software to
accommodate between 1 – 5 million users. My aim is to build the site and database, develop the business and exit in about 5 years.
My business partner played around with ska date software previously but we decided it wasn’t professional enough and wouldn’t be able to handle
1 – 5 million users. Members need to be able to link to other users fast and pages to load quickly, and there needs to be an app to go alongside.
I welcome any suggestions/software solutions you may have with compelling evidence that your suggestions/recommendations work in the
real world.
We would also need to add;
1) Google Images API [software which detects when photos have been copied by someone else].
2) Automated dating software to weed out bogus/fake profiles, as sugar daddy dating sites are targeted by scammers posing as real users.
Is there anything suitable that i can buy off the shelf or do i have to get a custom made solution?
Any helpful info is appreciated.
Thank you.
April
Scam? That’s funny. The competition posts fake reviews all over. Can’t do anything about that. Our over 20,000 customers and the software speaks for itself.
Sorry you feel that way. 20,000 customers say otherwise. The demo is the exact same software you get. This posting is just another posting by the competition. Our software and customers speak for themselves. I guess when you have great software and a large customer base that the competition will do what they can to try to knock you down.
Abdullah will develop allright :-D
Hello, I am interested in a custom script. Tell me your offer!
Sir My Team Can develop A Custom Dating Website for you with modern design better then provided above please contact me on facebook
I saw this today https://www.chameleonsocial.com/demo.php?part=street_chat Street Chat, Google Street View chat :-) Just like Pokemon GO. Seems really cool, they got Video Chat as well though.
What is the best deal for one with video chat?
Hi Kyle
Just need an honest opinion. If i had a concept that I honestly believe would be able to change the dating scenario that we have today, and i wanted to make something bigger than Tinder, but didn’t have a programming background, how would or should i go about it?? Also, would it be possible to predict how much it would cost to do so ??
Many thanks

What’s the difference with https://sourceforge.net/projects/ph7socialdating/
sorry i forget to submit this script name and link at previous comment
it’s called peepmatches – Advanced php dating and social script https://codecanyon.net/item/peepmatches-advanced-php-dating-and-social-script/18397367
I found this very good dating script at codecanyon, i think it has many features and described as dating with social, it is very cheap, so i need your advice about it
thank you
I do not sell any $3000 script nor any $100 one. Please do not forget to tell us how your site is going when you have it, thanks!
Borislav I know that this is the tactics to prevent people from having professional websites, so they buy your f———- scripts.
I wonder when you sell a software with 3000$ full of bugs.
My advice
-Smart idea is just buy the basic software with 200$ or 400$ what ever and hire a developer and design the software the way you want instead of paying 3000$ unless you want to learn a lesson in a hard way.
– Don’t hire a developer from them because they are experts on cheating.
– Don’t request from them to download the software on you hosting. Just ask the open source code and after changing the features download the software by yourself or by your developer. Probably you will face some problem because this is their tactic that you depend on them 100%.
– If you don’t know programming, you better have a developer otherwise they will tell you the same thing with different name so you pay more.
– Before you buy the software, a lot of solutions. After you buy………………..
Prepare to spend anywhere from 50k to 150k. Hope you have done some investigation. Cheers!
Hello Kevin
I think most of the reviews here are written by the owners of this shit scripts with fake names. Let me tell you my experience on dating market. I have a website and I bought the script from one of this company (Without tell the name of the company). I had problem with updating and my website was down two times.
At that time I cam to a conclusion that I will not give energy, time and money like this software. Imagine if you have thousands of paid-subscribers and your website is not operational for hours …….
Then I started reading about about these companies and they all sucks.
Now I am thinking to built my own website the way I want but I can’t start from scratch. So I am thinking to buy an open source code and hire a developer to build a website as I want. Still I have some concerns about this idea also. What about the update? Do I have to hire him again for update? Is the update once a year or what….?
I think this is the only way to have a professional dating website. So if you know any script that I can start with and developers with reasonable price, please post here.
Please give solutions without criticizing any company because I know that they all sucks.
Thank you Jason. I wish you a happy days.
These are custom built sites.
Hello my colleagues,
I’m wondering. http://www.fdating.com or russian-dating.com what is the program script that is used on sites? Thank you in advance for your help.
I wish you a healthy and happy day.
Oh, one more advandate review site here https://advandate.pissedconsumer.com
I agree, Advandate seems to be a scam. See these advandate reviews: http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/advandate-complaint-c817130.html http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/AdvanDate/internet/AdvanDate-AdvanDate-is-a-scam-Rick-Jacobson-is-a-scammer-Wyoming-Internet-1323179
But never purchase advandate script.You will not get after sale support
as for me i prefer chameleonsocial scripts they really work for me you can check my site at http://datingdeep.com although its a local dating website and the apps too work fine just that the app not 100% source code like the advertise so i can give the 7/10 rating
Sorry to hear that, please provide your order number so that we could investigate it further.
So what is your point here? That they should give you updates for free? But if they state on their site that updates are free for 3 years. Then probably they are free for 3 years? Or not. As for comments I would not provide any support to you either, after reading this :-D Shouting at a street corner that this shop is a shit and then going into that very shop wanting good support is not a good choice. Don’t know, just thinking aloud. In any case I am not their customer, I use BuddyPress.
Cemeleon or abledating?…. Nothing to say about the script….if fact they menace to law suite you if you do…
but about the support it’s another storry, if you leave negative feed back ,they will ban your site and denied support…
Not sure…. jsut read this, it’s a real conversation with they support and in the case the pretend im a competitor… jsut contact me directly on facebook, you see my name in the text..
Read this…

To ask for support it would be really nice of you to delete your numerous comments about us online saying that we are “a real total scam”, for example here http://kevin-muldoon.b.wetopi.com/dating-scripts/ https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.websplosion.com And everywhere else.

They told that you can’t leave a feedback on their product…
I leave feedback about their service quality and they ban my account? They vialate the law and play big brother and manace their own custumer of law suite if they don’t remove nevative comment….
Did you really want to do business with that… They can’t block competition anyway so…. contact me and I can suggest you some free script that you can use and get better support. Something that a competitor will no do… I don’t tell you do not do business with them…. it’s up to you after all…
I got exactly the same with the scam ABK-Soft/Websplosion LTD (company that doesn’t even exist! you can check on company register) that runs Chameleon. I asked for updated, them waited for few days without answer. Asked again and they changed their page and said now you can have update for only 3 years. They do really what they want and removed my account and license because I was claiming my update. Also they are very rude and impolite. I waste so much money and time with this Russian scam. Please don’t do the same! They look good and cheap, but this is to good to be true. Just a big scam!
Hello guys
i am searching for a mobile dating application, with affordable price and reasonable features.
My closest choice to features is skadate.com but their application is very expensive even while having features as most of the others with little differences.
they have good reviews as i saw here, but i dont think good reviews makes them charge 100% higher than others.
any recommendations guys ?
wait for have to contact them… then trouble start…. they told me:
We will not send you anything so please contact your law department. We have 3 years of upgrades. Thank you!
They still horible…They remove my license for ask me to upgrade…. they told me:
We will not send you anything so please contact your law department. We have 3 years of upgrades. Thank you!
Never use abledatong or Cemeleon, it’s was a trap. They did’t respect their life time support and upgrade policie. They event remove my license for ask me to upgrade….I contact them and look what they say: We will not send you anything so please contact your law department. We have 3 years of upgrades. Thank you!
a real total scam.. If they treat their own custumer like this imagine how they will treat you…
That’s funny since we always answer our phone. Clearly you’re the competition posting this fake review.
For the record, just to clarify what this fake poster is saying. The software on our demo is the EXACT software customers get. There is no difference. Why would anyone do that? That makes no sense. You’re funny.
We have over 20,000 customers. In fact, some of the largest niche dating sites in the world run the iCupid dating software. Want proof? Call us at 843-732-4944 and we’ll show you customers who run our software. We even have customers who are doing well over $10k in revenue per month. Bet the competition can’t show you that.
This person posting fake reviews will try everything he can to cast shade on AdvanDate but 20,000 customers and our ever growing product line puts that in the can.
Are you in America? Just put this to the test. Contact any dating software provider and try to talk to them on the phone. Then call AdvanDate and see the difference.
it look nice, but expensive or may be still many people needed for the funding…
so far, the most i liked is SKADATE but its extremelyyyyyyy over priced!
hope i can find similar solution at better price…
Hi Dating App Digger,
Maybe this crowdfunding Tinder-like dating app project will be interesting for you.
http://marketplace.datingpro.com/service/tinder-clone/
Hey all…
any recommendations which app is the best for Native mobile apps? i am mainly search for Tinder like app!!!
STAY AWAY FROM ADVANDATE (icupid) if you don’t it will be the biggest mistake you ever made!!! They are very nice and engaging before buying their software, once you have it, communication is non- existant, they WILL ignore you!
P.s The demo version and what you get are two different things, the demo version works fine, the actual software itsels has issues after issues after issues!
The whole software is also over complicated for NO REASON.. Avoid at all costs!
Chameleon Social works for me. They used to be horrible in 2007 because of their terrible support (it was really heavy). Now I bought it again and support is perfect and the script itself really cool. Well for my objectives. I also use buddypress on another site. NONE of them are 100% perfect, it depends on your goals.
For some reason I think most of those people are just just bullying you for personal reason. I think it’s best to reply to only positive reviews.
lol fake ass comments, your obviously someone from the ph7cms your order page is very amusing says all modules at the top for free version then starts saying you donthave access to this module or that module..
We’re using pH7CMS (https://github.com/pH7Software/pH7-Social-Dating-CMS) for our business and never had any problem and seems the only one open source and “open-minded” development… (though I could be wrong …)
Which scripts is the best anybody here to tell me
Hi, you could add oxdate dating script (http://www.oxdate.org) here, oxdate is based on oxwall core and covered most of skadate features. the good thing is oxdate is free and open source.
Hi. If anyone reading this post has a running profitable adult dating site and possibly interested in partnering with an owner of an incredible domain name, please email me at [email protected]. I would be a great marketer of the site through social media as well as willing to spend marketing money as well, I just need someone professional and experienced for the computer end. If you have interest, please get in touch.
@Tony I am a developer myself and I can understand what u are going thru. That sucks.
datingpro from PGdating pro should be avoided . It is too buggy. I lost $3000 pissed off users cannot login, cannot verify account, cannot chat etc
@ Steven Zhong
Your dating framework script is not ready for use yet. So I don’t see the reason why you are selling it for $79. I would advise you offer it for free to people to test and give you feedback to fix bugs etc before selling halfbaked script.
I cant even get into Admin after trying on several occasions.
Hello All,
We have launched a new dating script called DatingFramework -> http://datingframework.com
It has a powerful Admin Panel & Plugin/Theme System.
Its easy to install, you can check the installation video here. Shows you how it can be installed in just 2 min -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akW0A_D26eM
Here is a video on how to custom brand your dating website in just 2 minutes. While other dating scripts charge you for custom branding, DatingFramework has it setup inside and can be easily managed -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIG1hpM3ymM
Client? Or theorist as usual?
For your information, trustpilot checks each order number ;-) Next time at least check what you are posting about.
Thanks anyways, nice try.
Be careful, Chameleon Abk soft’s is well known for fake 5 stars reviews.
And here, Mike seems quite a fake and writes everywhere the same reviews and on the same date (Chameleon is the best, etc.)

…
P.S. Finally on the demo of this software, there is a Mike who seems very close to him.
Had a few issues with the installation but all was taken care in a reasonable response time. The Urban template is very well designed. 3DCity, instant messaging and other cool features makes the site interesting for users witch makes them want to come back and stay longer. Lots of ways for webmasters to generate revenues through many banners, subscriptions, and credits sales. The admin section could be more developed but it probably will be in time. One of our favorite feature is the translation area. It make translating your site very easy.
Our conclusion: Overall it’s a great product at a very descent price. Even non experience webmasters can run this script using available paid options like logo designs, App submissions and more!
We highly recommend Chameleon Dating script!
Mike for SMProMedia
Avoit — ChameleonSocial it`s true , they are ripping off customer designer , i bought a software from them but i couldn’t install so i did ask for refund but my request was rejected, they don’t care about customer just want to sell dodgy software. They are using typical Russian method, if its ok that’s good, but if not you f^^k off , and you are by your own , short of money, time and everything else . Please AWOID ChameleonSocial AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, otherwise you will be in trouble.
can you show me your site built with ph7cms
Ph7cms is not stable and have long way to go … i am currently using ph7csm now but the admin system and user GUI is flaw
Hello I just bought Ph7cms but there is no good customer relations… takes days for just 1 reply…. Anyone know how to config email on ph7cms…. I cannot get alert on my admin email from those that sign up newly on the site

Yes you could sell a website you created using a white label platform.
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
First of all thank you very much for this precious information!
I want to start an online dating website but it’s difficult to decide which platform with all the choices that are available :)
I would like to ask you a question concerning the white label platforms. If I create an online dating web with a white label platform and then I want to sell the web, would this be possible?
Because if I understood correctly I would not be 100% the owner of the website, would I?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Adrián
I am using datingsitebuilder.com and it’s one of the best! It’s so easy to setup and my website was up and running in few minutes. Recommended, I liked it especially their templates, are well designed and easy to customize.
Do you have any video of that? I’d want to find out more
details.
What setup? We had no setup at all. They just installed themselves it and handed us the keys. We are now doing some minor design changes and apart from time difference (which is annoying) the support is pretty good.
I just purchased skadate and I found that the setup wasn’t as easy as they claimed so I’m getting a refund. Also the support wasn’t any help at all.
Have you used Skadate? I’m intersted in their mobile-apps only solution. The apps and the landing page for Tinder look better than anyone else. I wish I found this site before we bought it, as there is ton of useful info here. But we are quite happy so far. I’ll let you know how it turns out in the end.
Hi Masta, seem to be getting to this reply a bit late but I wanted to chime in on the topic. While we’ve just released a fully responsive version, we are about to release a mobile dating app as well. It will work a bit like Tinder/Grinder with more options. We’re just a few weeks away from that product release.
With that said, the largest niche market dating company in the world is CupidMedia out of Australia. They own and run over 30 niche market dating sites with millions of active members. They produce well over 10,000 signups a day and they have no mobile app at all. They rely solely on their responsive design for their mobile community and that works very well for them.
@Derrick – I fully understand that a lot of dating sites in the niche sector don’t want to use mobile apps. I get that they can reduce registrations. This is because downloading a mobile app takes a few more steps than hitting the responsive site on a mobile and registering there. Having a FB Connect on the responsive version helps tremendously but a lot of dating site owners want the mobile app. They feel that they need to be part of the current game in their offerings and there’s nothing wrong with that and the bottom line is that you need to accommodate all of your users. Whether it’s with a mobile device or a responsive design. Also keep in mind that in some countries the desktop is becoming the larger audience and while that might seem a bit strange, it’s true. Case in point, Spain. Their desktop users are growing more than their mobile users. Again, strange but true…
Chameleon Dating Software is the only software out there that has 3DCity. Do you really need it? It depends on your website. If it is a site for elderly people then probably not. But if your website is for younger generation they will certainly like the 3DCity feature. It is not perfect yet, but again, they are constantly adding locations and clothes, so hopefully it will become better and better.
I must say that Chameleon Dating Software is not the only one I use, I have more than 10 websites, some of which are built on WordPress but for those 2 of the sites which are for younger people I use Chameleon. I am waiting for the mobile version to come though, younger actually means more mobile as everyone knows :-)
I would give a 4.5 to Chameleon, but as they do not have this on this site, I am giving a 5 (but meaning there is place for improvement yet!).
Avangate reference: 32631308
External reference:
Order number: 5751
I am afraid nothing out of the box that is php based would be better than WP Buddypress unless you build your own code.
Chameleon is a clone of Badoo. Mind you, it has lots of bugs and in my opinion way more features than needed.
Having been in online dating industry for quite a few years and seeing the developments of dating scripts I still can’t see any of them keeping up with times and current needs of both webmasters and end users. My suggestion would be either investing into developing your own site or going for a white label product that will not only save you loads of money and time, but will give access to populated database and eliminate lots of hurdles such as payment processing, user activation and retention or customer support. There are a few white label platforms to choose from depending on niches and geos, so if you are a novice and want to test out the waters of online dating business, white label would be my advice. You can find a list of noteworthy options here: http://bit.ly/1VZLx17
Very funny, really :-) No one forces anyone to download an app, if one wants it, he downloads it, if not, he uses the site. You can not decide for the user what he or she needs. If you as a software provider do not have mobile apps to offer does not mean they are not necessary. It simply means you do not have them. They are absolutely necessary today in mainstream, niche, or any other kinds of dating and social networking.
Cheers.
Masta
Hey Masta,
You don’t need mobile dating apps in the niche market dating. We have 12 dating sites that are all different niches. We had an app and we lost members because of it. We had more registers with our responsive version than our mobile app. This is because in the niche world you have to get and maintain a member as quick as possible. When you force them to download an app and install it you potentially lose them. Sure this works great for places in the main stream dating world like Tinder, Grindr and Match but not in the niche dating world.
Great, but does AdvanDate have mobile apps? It is 2015, who runs a dating site without apps, seems to have very little sense. Thank you.
I’ve been using Chameleon for about a month, and overall, pleased with the package. There are a few drawbacks that must be overcome.
Without an in-depth user manual, this software can be very confusing during initial setup. Learning the use of its many features comes down to trial and error. If the site administrator is confused, think of how the new users feel and how quickly they’ll move on in frustration.
Support tickets, at times, are confusing with short, non-verbose answers.
The following is an actual example:
My first post,
I’ve seen the check boxes, in the administrator cPanel, where I can assign specific users as moderators of photos and text. I’ve assigned three users this capability and when they login there is a “Moderator” link on their home page.
When they click on this link, they’re taken to a page with three buttons, “Moderator Photo”, “Moderator Essay” and “Save”. Clicking on any of these links, causes the page to refresh, but nothing else.
Realizing there was no new user to approve, I created a “test profile” waiting for approval, and again, nothing happens.
How do these three moderators use the assigned capabilities?
The reply,
Please activate in menu “Main > Options > Site options”:
– The texts need to be checked
– The photos need to be checked
Second post,
As I said in the first post; I’ve checked the boxes. Now, I want to know how to use this ability.
Second reply,
Please make sure that these options active in “Main > Options > Site options.
Third post,
Are these “canned responses”? This is twice you’ve sent this type of reply and this is the third time I’ve said, “Yes, the boxes are checked.”
What I need to know is, “How do the moderators use the software to approve/disapprove photos or text?” A step-by-step would be great!
Third reply,
Member upload photo in profile or change text fields and these values appear on moderator page.
Forth post,
Thank you. I have tested it and understand how it works now.
This ticket can be closed.
As you can see, my third post expressed my frustration.
Next issue: As an administrator, I’ve rearranged the top navigation menu order, but an additional option should be: the ability to move menu items to a drop-down sub menu location. For instance, move “Groups” below the “Forums”.
As with any software, I understand there is a learning curve, but an in-depth manual is definitely needed.
Hello!
Well we really have 3 years of free updates, this is what our faq states:
“All upgrades are free for 3 years, this includes all major and minor releases. For subsequent years, we charge 50% of the edition price once a year to continue downloading the latest releases, if you wish. Usage license however, will never expire. That is, support is free for lifetime. It basically means that you can just continue using your current version and not pay anything and still get the free support. ”
Sorry if it is something that is not appropriate for you but we always state that we have 3 years of free upgrades.
Thanks.

Hello!
What is your order number please so that we could investigate the issue?
Thank you.
Frank.
Number 12 (MyMatch) is not working for now:
Error establishing a database connection
I totally agree with Marjorie, Chameleon (ex Abk Soft) is a big big scam. They took all my money for nothing and they are really rude (and impolite in the same way). The Russian guy to the per-sales chat is friendly and nice and after, when you have paid, everything goes wrong.
I have also pay a transfer from my old site to the new one (I costed $800) and finally they migrated only a few users (without avatars/images, etc) and never gave me my money back.
Also, they say that you’ll get the updates for free for all next versions, but that is again a lie! I asked several times and never give me the new version, and move over, they banned me to get access to the member areas! Really awful. Moreover, if you can get a update, you’ll never received a migration script (so you will have to start your site from scratch again and again!).
Hello hello I’ll try to put here my horrible experienceia with chamaleon … I buy there three years ago and had not used yet for health reasons … then I turn on my website last month but could not, which I paid for 2 licenses and unique desine I paid $ 800.00 US dollars and today they sell it much cheaper … so that when I requested they’ll tell me that I have to pay more about $ 130.00 US dollars if I want them to deliver me the that already and my … I do not believe this is dishonest and ridiculous and I am glad to find this space to warn people about this company.
now I’m short of money and would like to have my professional website without disappointments Kevin please tell me who u have seen good references.
Thanks
It has been some time since I have reviewed dating scripts, so I wouldn’t like to say with conviction which dating app is best.
Though as a big fan of WordPress, I’d definitely look at WordPress dating themes myself first.
Thanks for this post Kevin, good and comprehensive reviews.
I am currently looking for a dating solution with the following features:
– php standalone (not wp plugin/theme)
– facebook signup integration
– modern look (some of the scripts above look very old fashioned)
– mobile ready
– chat & video
Which one would you recommend?
Really good listing. Nowadays, Web dating industries is one of the best profitable businesses on the Web. My IT company where I work has recently chosen pH7CMS.com and we are really happy. This software is in my opinion the best for developers and we can really get hundreds of hours.
Good luck!
Martin
I have a site with sweet date theme and the wp dating plugin. The theme provides sweet appeal for dating and the wp dating plugin provides the functionalities specific to the dating site. Currently I’ve set the site in free membership mode but after the site will have 500+ members, I’ll activate the premium membership and the trial mode with 5 days of free trial so that the new members will be able to check the functionality of my site. Hope to make some extra cash for it very soon.
Btw, would love it if Kelvin could write a post about running a dating site and gain some extra cash from it including points like affiliates, advertisements etc. What other’s are there?
The website is not loading for me.
Dear Kevin,
First, I love your reviews about the dating software’s and it really help me a lot.
Do you know any software that is similar to http://www.bodoo.com? I think they created their own software but I am not sure.
And also, if you have the right budget which is the best software to start?

Hey, “@Dean” and “@Mike”, You post a comment, but haven’t read been on the site :D
I have been to their website (ph7cms.com) and saw the link “try it for free” on the top of the homepage, then you will be redirected to http://ph7cms.com/memberships/, then you will see “Basic version, Free” and after confirm your email address, you will be able to download a full open source version for free (wonderful :) ). I noticed that the only restriction is that you can’t monetize the site or remove the branding link, if you want to monetize or make your site a professional business, you have to buy a license (http://ph7cms.com/order/) which is totally normal, I believe.
Hi Dean,
The price is the same ($249) on all sites. You might have seen the site as we were updating them. When we bought the company about a month ago, the sites were in disarray. It took a bit of time to get everything all fixed up and corrected which is how they look now. The previous owner didn’t do much in terms of keeping the site updated so we have made sure that the site is updated and that the dating software itself is updated. We are working on version 11 that includes new modern dating templates as well as being fully responsive.
There seems to be a lot of negative reviews on the previous owners but rest assured we are 100% completely different. We are an American company and play by a different set of rules and that includes customer support. We are making sure we take care of new customers as well as existing ones.
We’d love to get some feedback from you regarding new features and designs or any other feedback.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Good overview, Kevin! It’s interesting to see that you found PG Dating unsatisfactory :) It looks good on surface.
What’s your favourite pick, so far?
I’ve posted my own little piece on dating software here – http://www.andrewboon.com/best-dating-software-platforms/ with a slightly different perspective (I involved with “social software” development, which used to be a dating script as well) – have a look, let me know what you think!
I just finished trying to install a site from RickJacobson,AdvanDate.com DatingScripts.com and I found him to be very helpful with the installation of the package. Unfortunately the package needed to be updated and more relevant for my part of the world (Canada). I paid using paypal and when I requested a refund it appears to have been done. (Have to wait up to 30 days for a refund–it may come sooner than that–I hope). I’m a newbie at this game and am very cautious about the scams being pulled–Rick appears to be on the level!
IMHO, WP and all the free CMS scripts are the free places for students and amateurs like me to get some experience to play around with CMS to create a simple website. Or for very good programmers to make something Wow out of it. If you want something that is more complicated and do it yourself, you will spend more times to fix it instead of running it. WP has plug-ins and modules are built by dif people, you have to update them all or it will crash. Some free stuffs in there may be abandon by the developers or outdated. It’s like going into the United Nations building and getting everyone agrees with you, good luck for that.
ph7cms is $397. It’s not free. I hate it when they say it’s free to get your attention. A liar right from the start.
It’s not free, it’s $396 I think from their homepage.
It’s not free, it’s $396 I think form their homepage.
Why advandate price is $50 cheaper than dating scripts?
I like the sweet date theme and am using it with the dating plugin from http://www.wpdating.com. Wonder why the wordpress plugin isn’t listed in this blog :O
I used pH2Date.com for my client and it works very well.
They have also a business pack but I didn’t test.
I have just bought the software ($147) and works perfectly :D
Hi Christel,
My name is Rick Jacobson and I’m the director for AdvanDate, LLC, which just bought eMeeting (DatingScripts.com and DatingScripts.co.uk) last week on Flippa.
I understand that there are unhappy customers with the previous owners but rest assured that is something we are changing. In fact we have already changed a lot of it. Gone are the limited support options. Now all customers get unlimited support with no end time and at no cost. You get it for as long as you own the site. You don’t even pay for branding removal anymore. Everything is now included. This goes for new customers as well as previous ones. We’re making sure we take care of everyone.
We have spent the last week changing up all websites so that they fit under the AdvanDate model. This includes going through the dating software and fixing a lot of bugs that were in it. Our development team is working hard right now to put out a better, bug free version 10.7. The current version is 10.6. We are also now working on version 11 which will be a full feature release with a lot of new features and new templates. Not just any templates, more modern dating templates. The 40 that are there now will still be there. We will just be adding more modern ones to the mix.
We’re sorry that you had to go through horrible support with the previous owners but do know that is something we take very seriously. We are committed to you the customer.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me on the site or call me. My direct line is on the site. We even have a Live Chat on the site as well.
Thanks,
Rick Jacobson,

I personally purchased: Chameleon Script. It’s a great script but it does have coding errors. Unfortunately that’s how they’ll sell it to you, and if send a support ticket, they’re response is; The demo is what you get. these are both my sites: http://seekinglongterm.com & http://metrocitydating.com and they both have the same errors as their scripts.
See for yourself. http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.chameleonsocial.com/JwXqV7M0
Please which of this scripts is most reliable because datingsitebuilder is a scam will only take money and won’t send any scripts to you even if you send them complaint they won’t reply you at all
Those scripts are pretty complicated, I like scripts that are simple to modify and free. Something like A-Dater http://www.a-dater.com
A content management system (CMS) is a type of script.
hi , what is the the different between script to cms? (i’m really asking)
from what i understood if you wanna make new concept it’s better to developed it on cms with modules and programing new function which i’m not sure available on this script… am i right?
It is absolutely NOT free!
I agree with Mark, the http://pH7CMS.com is really a good one, but you should to know a bit about PHP and Apache…
As a really beginner, I prefer http://ph4social.com
It is really good if you want to build a site like Badoo. So yeah, it is not really about dating, but more about social networking niche and the design of pH4Social is really awesome!
Hey, i think you may be forget to added this dating script website : http://datingscript.net
This site also have a great service for creating a personal dating business profile. Thanks
I liked VLD Personals but it was discontinued years ago and Dating Script replaced it, which is not nearly as good. While it is starting to shape up, it is still a way away from VLD. Many of these are not worth it once you start playing with them, especially the themes which are weak. I am surprised OSDate isn’t on there. $5 and it’s more powerful than many of these, sadly.
Sorry for the misspelling. It was “Scripts like “Softbiz Dating Script” or “SoftDatePro” are very poor…
Scripts like “SoftDatePro .com” or ” SoftDatePro” shouldn’t be on the your “Great List” because they’re very poor and doesn’t work in my side. I agree with some comments that “pH7CMS” is a good competitor and I think it is the future of all of them…
I totally agree with you Mark, pH7CMS it’s a very good software and 100% free. I use it and I’m very happy with. See it in this top software could be a good idea.
Frank ;)
Great list. However, you forgot one of the best dating script… It is pH7CMS -> http://ph7cms.com
I haven’t used any of the scripts on a live website, however I checked the demos out of all of them and thought that PG Dating Pro and VLD Personals looked good.
Sorry to hear that Christel. It’s always disappointing when post sale support is poor.
Thanks for letting others know.
You are so right. They are spot on when you have pre-sale questions and they barely respond after you buy the script.
I am currently using emeeting. They were eager to take my money; but customer service after sale is horrible. They charge $99 for updating the software to their latest version. But I was told support and upgrades were free.
bonjour j(hésite entre skadate et chameleon. que me conseillez vous?
Nice list, which one do you think is the best of the list of paid ones, i have tried skadate and consider using chameleon for one of my other projects.
But what i noticed for most of these scripts is that the presages is really good compared to the after sales.
