Best dating apps in France

Which dating apps have a French App Store listing

The French App Store lookup of November 5, 2026 returned listings for sixteen reviewed apps, among them Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Feeld and Grindr, and for ten smaller ones such as Taimi, Hornet, 3Fun and The League. It matches the German result app for app: the same sixteen, the same ten and the same six not found, which are Coffee Meets Bagel, Match, Zoosk, Fling, OurTime and Doublelist. The German side is on dating apps in Germany.

These are store checks of the iPhone App Store only. Google Play and web availability are not covered, so a service not found above may still serve France. Nine browser-first services have no iPhone app to look up: AdultFriendFinder, Facebook Dating, NaughtyCharm, KinkyPeopleMeet, SparkMeets, BeNaughty, Flirt.com, Sniffies and Poliamoris, which are covered under dating sites that run in a browser.

Best dating apps in France on ranking lists

The first Google France results page for "best dating apps in france" holds eight results, five of them ranking lists, and none of the five is on a French domain. Tinder is named five times and Bumble four. Hinge, OkCupid and happn follow with two each, and Badoo with one. The search ran in English; French-language queries were not run.

The hookup query, "best hookup apps in france", returns four lists, again none on a French domain. Tinder is named four times, Bumble three, and happn, Hinge and Badoo twice each, with OkCupid once. Tinder first and Bumble second is the order on both queries, so the lists for best dating apps in France and for the hookup version agree on the top two.

Without a country filter the ranking is on best dating apps overall, and the hookup-intent list is the hookup app ranking. Cities sit under dating apps by city, and the other countries under country guides.

Age verification and the Arcom standard

Arcom adopted the technical standard for age verification systems used to reach online services and video-sharing platforms that distribute pornographic content on October 9, 2024, under the SREN law of May 21, 2024. A service that does not meet it can receive a formal notice from Arcom and then a financial penalty (Arcom page).

The page was published on October 11, 2024. It covers services distributing pornographic content and mentions neither dating apps nor social networks, so whether the standard reaches a dating app is not stated. The Arcom page gives no deadline; the CNIL opinion of September 26, 2024 says sites must comply within three months of publication. No app is named in either source.

Data protection fines on two dating services

France's data protection authority CNIL fined Meetic 20,000 euros and Samadhi, the owner of Attractive World, 10,000 euros for not obtaining express consent before collecting sensitive data such as sexual orientation, religious views and ethnic origin. Both had missed the CNIL's deadline for adding a separate consent checkbox. Global Dating Insights reported the fines on January 4, 2017 and says they were imposed on December 29, without a year, so the date is recorded as December 2016. CNIL's own page for these decisions was not opened.

Both are dating services, which makes this the one local rule here that applies to dating apps. Meetic's French App Store listing shows 82,841 ratings, and the local list marks it international.

Dating app prices on the French App Store

Every price here is an iPhone App Store row for France, in EUR, and each app appears at its cheapest listed row. Only one listing fills in a billing period.

The three lowest rows on the French App Store are packs: Plenty of Fish "1 Jeton" at EUR 0.99, then Badoo's "Pack de 100 crédits" and happn's "Starter pack - 10 crédits" at EUR 1.99 each. On the French App Store the first row not titled as a pack or token is SCRUFF Browsing Pro at EUR 3.99, followed by Bumble Boost at EUR 5.99 and Tinder Plus at EUR 8.99, none with a period stated. At the top of the French App Store are eHarmony Basic at EUR 29.99, Ashley Madison Preferred at EUR 24.99 and DOWN's "Down VIP" at EUR 19.99.

On the French App Store, Feeld Membership at EUR 10.99 is the one row with a period in the listing: 1 week. Three others name a period in their titles while the period field is empty: Grindr "1 MOIS" at EUR 11.49, HUD "Hud une semaine premium" at EUR 14.99 and Pure "Abonnement hebdomadaire à Pure" at EUR 14.99, all on the French App Store. Hinge+ is EUR 11.99 and HER Platinum EUR 13.99 on the French App Store, with no period for either. Several rows match the German App Store exactly (Bumble Boost, Feeld, eHarmony Basic, SCRUFF, HER Platinum), while Hinge+ is EUR 12.99 and Ashley Madison Preferred EUR 29.99 there. Google Play and web prices are not covered. More price pages sit under dating app pricing by app.

Local apps on the French App Store

Two of the fourteen apps in the French local list are marked local: Fruitz: Dating, chat, treffen, with 165,457 ratings on its French listing, the most in the list, and adopte - app de rencontre with 111,111. The other twelve are marked international. Meetic - Relationship and Love has 82,841, Instinct: Casual Dating App 56,572 and LOVOO 52,948. Casual Dating & Flirt - Kasual has 10,276, Flava: Casual Dating & Chat 9,711 and Bumpy 5,292.

Six listings show no rating count: Inner Circle, FET, Eden, Kismia, iris and Muzz. The titles are as the French storefront returned them, so LOVOO, Inner Circle, Kismia and iris read in Spanish and Eden in Portuguese. Neither Fruitz nor adopte has a price row above, since the price table covers only the apps reviewed here.
