Trying to settle an argument with a friend about fwb apps, so I'm bringing it here.

The reviews I can find on fwb apps never say what the free tier actually lets you do.

My checklist for fwb apps, in rough order of importance:

  • Whether the free tier on fwb apps is genuinely usable or just a demo
  • Whether anyone has tested benefits properly on fwb apps
  • How visible fwb apps keeps you when you are not paying for a boost
  • How fwb apps handles blocking, privacy and who can see your profile

Tell me what I'm missing about fwb apps.

Since we're comparing options around fwb apps, the Ezhookups boards came up when I was looking at the same thing.

Someone recommended the Flurrydate community to me during my own search around fwb apps and it was better than I expected.

Read the small print on benefits before you commit to anything around fwb apps.

Picking up what Ava Mitchell said — fwb apps is regional first. What's your actual goal here — is fwb apps about meeting someone soon, or about finding the right platform first?

If you go down the fwb apps route, screenshot anything that looks like a scam before you report it.

Adding the Datebie boards to the pile for fwb apps, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

Bookmarking this, because threads like it on fwb apps are more use than any ranked list.

To build on Lucas Wilson's answer about fwb apps: Agreed, and specifically on benefits — that is where fwb apps either works or falls apart.

Depends what you mean by fwb apps, because for a serious relationship the answer differs from a casual one.

I keep Datingfly's free tier open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with fwb apps.
