A free-first dating app with search and community forums, plus optional privacy perks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
Mingle2 is a dating website and app for adults seeking dating, relationships, friendship, or other social connections. Its web, iOS, and Android versions combine profile search, location browsing, Mutual Match, messaging, daily recommendations, and forums. The free plan covers search, messaging, chat, and communication, making it a fit for people who want to explore profiles and connect without starting with a paid membership. Those looking for video dating should consider another service; Mingle2's listed features focus on profiles, chat, and community spaces.
Search and discovery are central to the product. Members can filter profiles by preferences, browse singles by location, indicate interest through Mutual Match, and receive daily recommended matches. Forums and themed spaces give members a community option beyond one-to-one dating conversations. The combination suits people who want a mix of direct profile discovery and discussion areas, while those who prioritize video dates may find the feature set too narrow.
According to the vendor's pricing page, Mingle2 is freemium, with MinglePlus packages priced at $29.99 for 3 months, $47.99 for 6 months, and $69.99 for 12 months; the published annual starting price is $5.83 per month. MinglePlus adds the ability to see who likes you, browse profiles stealthily, use read receipts, and browse ad-free. The free plan is the more suitable starting point for budget-conscious daters who want core search and communication. Paid membership is aimed at people who value those visibility and messaging extras; users seeking video dating should look elsewhere.
