About SwipeAtlas
SwipeAtlas is an independent directory that reviews dating apps across five markets on a cited data layer — real free-tier verdicts, per-market pricing, an ownership graph and a sourced safety record — with no pay-to-rank and no affiliate deals.
What we do
Most "best dating app" lists are marketing. SwipeAtlas is built differently: every ranking comes from data you can check. For each app we record whether the free tier is genuinely usable, what it really costs in your country, which company owns it, and any cited security or privacy incidents. We cover the United States, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, each in its own language and with apps that actually matter in that market.
How it is made
We do not personally test every app. Pricing, ownership and safety data come from official listings and reputable reporting, each carrying a source link and a verification date. Where a judgement is involved — such as a free-tier verdict — we base it on the documented paywall, not on marketing. Full details are on our methodology page.
Independence
We take no payment from any app to rank, feature or bury it, and we run no affiliate links that would bias a verdict. The site is supported by advertising, which is kept separate from editorial rankings.
Who is behind it
SwipeAtlas is an independent project run by Alexey Kravchenko. You can reach the person behind the site via LinkedIn.
