Our honesty pledge

Read how our guide library is sourced and what our scores and safety content can establish.

Our editorial standards. Plain English, no fine print.

01

No invented testing or reviewers

The guide library is desk research. We do not present it as hands-on testing, and we use a role-based editorial-desk byline rather than inventing a named expert or reviewer.

02

No guaranteed matches

No app can guarantee a match, date or relationship. Current catalogue records use supplied audience labels rather than a suitability guarantee.

03

We describe design, not guessed motives

A paywall or boost does not prove a company motive. Our guide to app design focuses on observable price, renewal, urgency, privacy and cancellation terms.

04

We exclude affair and adult-hookup brands

The current listing adapter excludes specified affair and explicit adult-hookup slugs. That describes the configured roster, not a permanent promise about every future page or link.

When we'd say no

A paid feature can change app access or visibility, but it cannot promise a conversation, date, compatibility or safety. Before buying, compare the current total price, renewal, cancellation and exact feature rather than an unexplained score or urgency message.

Questions about a specific recommendation, or think we've got a call wrong? Tell us. We assess corrections; response times are not guaranteed.

DatingSherpa is a comparison publisher for adults (18+). The app listing uses feed-supplied commercial data and scores that the editorial desk has not independently reproduced. Guides are desk researched and informational; no score, badge or checklist guarantees a match or safety.

We borrowed the name Sherpa from a people of the Himalayan region. Our context page links directly to The Juniper Fund; this link is not evidence that DatingSherpa has made a donation. Why we're called Sherpa
