Our pledge
Free forever. No paywalls, no boosts.
Dating apps often make money by making the experience worse until you pay. We don't. Every core feature is free for everyone, permanently.
Always free
Browsing and discovery
Swipe, grid and list views, recommendations and non-personalised modes.
Likes and received likes
Like with a note and see everyone who liked you — clearly.
Matching and messaging
Chat and plan dates without limits designed to sell upgrades.
Filters and explanations
Every filter and every “why am I seeing this” explanation.
Privacy controls
Hide your profile, browse quietly, control visibility field by field.
Now and activities
Create and join plans and in-app events.
Things we will never do
- Premium tiers or subscriptions for core features
- Boosts, super-likes for money or paid priority
- Blurred received likes or forced one-by-one reveals
- Artificial swipe quotas designed to sell upgrades
- Charging for privacy or safety features
- Selling personal data or using it for targeted advertising
So how are costs covered?
Optional donations
If you like the service, you may support it. Donating never changes your visibility, ranking or limits — and nobody can see who donated.
Uky doesn't take donations at the moment.
Clearly labelled local partnerships
Local venues or organisers may host clearly labelled events. Partnerships are not targeted at individuals and never affect who you see or who sees you.
Lean, self-hosted operations
The service runs on our own infrastructure with open-source building blocks, which keeps costs low and your data out of advertising platforms.
