iPhone App Store only, checked November 5, 2026. Google Play and web availability are not covered.

That check covers the iPhone App Store only. Google Play and web availability by country cannot be checked this way, so an app missing above may still be used in the Netherlands. Facebook Dating, Sniffies and the other web-first services have no iPhone app to look up, which leaves their Dutch status open here; web versions of dating apps covers that group.

Best dating apps in the Netherlands on local ranking lists

The first Google Netherlands results page for "best dating apps in the netherlands" holds eight results, four of them ranking lists. Three results sit on Dutch domains and two are dated 2025 or 2026. Tinder is named five times, Bumble and Hinge four times each, Badoo three times, happn twice, and Feeld and Grindr once each.

The hookup version, "best hookup apps in the netherlands", returns four lists and none of them is on a Dutch domain. Bumble is named four times there, Tinder three, Badoo and happn twice each, and Hinge, Feeld and Grindr once each. The two queries disagree on first place: Tinder leads the dating query and Bumble the hookup one. Both search pages are in English; local-language queries were not run.

The general ranking, with no country filter, is on the best dating apps overall, and the hookup-intent list is on our hookup app ranking. The store data above is per country and is not split by city, so Amsterdam questions belong on the pages under city pages.

Tinder's personalised pricing and the Dutch consumer authority

On March 7, 2024 the European Commission announced that Tinder had committed, by mid-April 2024, to stop age-based personalised pricing without clear notice. Tinder also committed to tell consumers that premium discounts are personalised by automated means, and why. The consumer authorities' network, led by the Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) and the Swedish Consumer Agency, had found that Tinder applied personalised prices without informing consumers, in breach of EU consumer law. The Commission's announcement is the source.

The action concerns Tinder's premium pricing, so it applies to a dating app. It is EU-wide and coordinated by the Commission, and the same action is listed for Sweden. The network will monitor the commitments and can enforce them, for example with fines. The announcement records no fine.

The lowest listed rows on the Netherlands App Store are Badoo at EUR 1.99, then Bumble Boost and SCRUFF Messaging Pro at EUR 4.99 each, none with a period stated. Badoo's row and Plenty of Fish's Upgraden carry Dutch titles. At the other end of the Netherlands App Store, eharmony Basic is EUR 29.99, Ashley Madison Mobile Access EUR 22.99 and Plenty of Fish EUR 19.99, again with no period.

Three rows do state one. Hud Premium is EUR 14.99 for 1 week on the Netherlands App Store, Feeld Majestic Membership is EUR 19.99 for 30 days, and Grindr's row is EUR 11.99 for 1 month. A single week of Hud Premium is therefore listed above a month of Grindr. Hinge+ is EUR 14.99 on the Netherlands App Store, the same amount as Hud's weekly row, but its listing states no period, so the two cannot be set against each other. Tinder Gold and HER Platinum are EUR 13.99 each on the Netherlands App Store, with happn at EUR 10.99, OkCupid A-List at EUR 9.99 and Pure at EUR 7.99, all with no period stated. Google Play and web prices are not covered. More price pages sit under price pages by app.

Local apps on the Netherlands App Store

Of the fifteen apps in the Netherlands local list, four are marked local: Fruitz, POPCORN, Lexa and Breeze. The other eleven are marked international. A rating count measures how many people rated the listing in that storefront, not how many use the app. Inner Circle has the most in the list at 14,756, followed by Lexa with 12,203, Breeze with 9,542 and Fruitz with 7,108. POPCORN shows 59, far below the other three local-marked listings.

Instinct has 3,549 ratings, LOVOO 1,851, Flava 1,436 and Bumpy 962. Six international listings show no rating count. Five carry Spanish or Portuguese titles (LOVOO, Inner Circle, Kismia, iris and Eden), and two name their audience in the title: FET as a kinky BDSM dating app, Muzz with "Where Muslims Marry".
