Where we differ
Kink as the point, members close to home
A dating app for the open-minded and a dating site for one scene make different promises.
Kink is the starting point. Kinky Singles is a kink dating site from the first page, and every tag on it is a scene word. You can lead with what you want instead of easing into it.
Members are in South Africa. Feeld says you can download it in most countries, so who you see depends on who has joined nearby. Kinky Singles has more than 500 members, mostly in Gauteng, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, with Johannesburg first, then Cape Town, Pretoria and Durban. On VIP, the search filters cover city, distance, experience level and what someone is open to. The city pages show where members are.
The prices are on one page. Classic, VIP and VIP Plus are set out together in rand on the pricing page, with the features page showing what each tier adds.
How does each one protect you?

Biometric identity verification with a Verified badge, screenshot protection on images sent in chat, videos you can view once, an option to blur images that may contain nudity and a 24/7 safety team, all listed on its own pages.

Different routes, and neither list is the whole story. Our safety page covers the rest of ours, and Feeld’s own pages cover its.
