If you want a dating site that assumes an open relationship or an open marriage from the first profile, Open Relationships is built for that. People comparing options also look at Feeld, #Open and 3Fun, at general dating apps that offer a option for dating outside monogamy, and at affairs brands such as Ashley Madison. Those products are not interchangeable. Use this page to match the product to the agreement you actually have, rather than to a headline on a list.
What "best" should actually mean here
A list of "best open relationship dating sites" is only useful if it starts with the agreement you have, not with a generic ranking. The product that suits a couple who date together on occasional weekends is not the same product that suits a married person who dates separately, or a single person who wants to meet people who already have a partner.
Treat "best" as a fit test. Does the profile let you say the arrangement in the first lines? Can a couple keep separate accounts? Can a single person find people who have already told their partner? Are the prices written down in a way you can check? Does the site avoid promising that every member has been identity checked?
Open Relationships is built around those questions. It is not trying to be the default app for every form of non-exclusive dating. Polyamory, a wider ethical non-monogamy search, unicorn dating, and swinging belong to sister sites, linked in the footer, which open in a new tab.
Open Relationships, in one place
You create a profile that leads with how you date. You can add a short voice note, which is moderated before it appears. Couples can link their profiles and still keep their own inboxes. Search is organised around six English-speaking countries, with city guides under Locations. The how it works page walks through that in order, and Features covers the tools in more detail.
On Open Relationships, VIP for 1 month is $42.81 charged up front, which works out at $9.99 a week. VIP+ for 1 month is $51.39, which works out at $11.99 a week. Weekly figures are for comparison only. You pay the amount charged up front. 1 month and 3 month plans renew automatically until you cancel. 12 month plans are a single payment and do not renew. The upgrade screen shows the exact amount before you pay. See Pricing for the full table.
We do not invent a member count to make the room look busier, and we do not claim that every profile is verified. If that honesty matters to you, you are in the right place. If you want a product that leads with a different promise, the names below may fit you better, and it is better to say so than to blur the difference.
Feeld
Feeld is often the first name people hear when they start looking for dating apps outside a strictly one-to-one model. It is a large, general product with a wide brief: many relationship styles, many kinds of date, a design that feels like a modern app. That breadth is the advantage. It is also the limitation, if what you wanted was a room that already assumes an open relationship or an open marriage and does not treat that as one tag among many.
If you want a full, side-by-side argument, read Open Relationships compared with Feeld. In short: Feeld is a broader app. Open Relationships is a narrower dating site. Some people use both, with a clearer profile on this site and a wider net elsewhere.
#Open
#Open is a specialist product aimed at people who date outside exclusivity. It is closer to this site in intent than a mainstream swipe app is. The difference is in how the arrangement is carried. We ask you to describe the structure in sentences, on a profile that singles and couples can both use, rather than treating the open agreement as a tag you switch on. That is a taste difference as much as a feature difference, and it is worth trying the one that matches how you already talk.
The longer version is in Open Relationships compared with #Open.
3Fun
3Fun is usually discussed as a couples and group-dating product. If what you want is a first meeting as a pair, or a night that is built around more than two people from the start, that focus may be the point. Open Relationships can host couples, including couples who date together, but it is not built as a group-dating app, and it is not a swinging site. Couples who want a lifestyle product will be better served by a sister site than by stretching this one.

Ashley Madison, and why it keeps appearing
Ashley Madison appears on many "best" lists for open marriage and open relationship searches. It is a well-known brand, and it is built around discreet affairs. That is a different starting point from an agreement that is already on the table. If your partner does not know, Open Relationships is the wrong site. If they do know, and you want to meet people who treat that as normal, this site is the closer match.
The direct comparison is Open Relationships vs Ashley Madison. Married readers may also want open marriage dating sites.
General dating apps with an "open" option
OkCupid and, to a lesser extent, other mainstream apps let people mark that they are in an open relationship. Plenty of couples start there because the app is already on their phone. The cost of that convenience is the first week of chat: explaining the arrangement, waiting to see whether the other person is curious or uninterested, and repeating the same paragraph. That is the problem this site is meant to reduce, not a reason to pretend those apps do not exist.
Some people keep a mainstream profile and use Open Relationships when they want the structure to be assumed. That is a reasonable way to work, as long as the two profiles do not tell different stories. See compared with OkCupid and compared with Tinder.
How to choose, practically
Write one sentence about your arrangement, as you would say it to a friend. Then look at each product and ask whether that sentence would be at home on a first profile, or whether you would have to hide it until message four. If you are married, add a second test: does the product treat an open marriage as a real, agreed structure, or as a discreet sideline?
If Open Relationships passes that test for you, Signup Here and put the sentence at the top of your profile. Add a voice note if you want someone to hear how you talk before they write. If you already have an account, Sign in. If it does not pass, use the comparison that is closer to the product you actually want, and save yourself a month of the wrong inbox.
