Love doesn't always come in twos. helloPOLY is an honest dating and community for people who love outside the mainstream — openly, and on their own terms. Formerly PolyFinda — same community, new name. How is helloPOLY different from regular dating apps? Mainstream dating apps weren't built for the way you love. helloPOLY is purpose-built for people who are ethically non-monogamous (ENM), polyamorous, or seeking kink — so it's faster to find people who want the same thing, and you spend less time filtering out incompatible matches. Inclusive and supportive of diverse relationship styles, by design. Looking for love? Friendship? Something kinky and fun? Someone to practice shibari or rope bondage with? There's room for all of it here — because there are more ways to love and connect in ethical non-monogamy. And you don't have to confine yourself to one identity: choose different styles of relating that interest you, so you find exactly what you're after and match with people looking for someone like you. New to the ENM or kink scenes, or experienced in both — helloPOLY helps you make real connections. Start meeting like-minded people near you today. Who created helloPOLY, and why? helloPOLY was founded by members of the ethical non-monogamy community to help people explore every form of ENM together. Its open-minded philosophy naturally draws people from the queer, BDSM, and kink communities too — but not everyone exploring ENM is into kink. So the app matches people on shared interests and keeps incompatible profiles out of your feed. It also has a particular focus on shibari, helping riggers and rope bottoms find each other to practice with. For example, if you're after a kinky play partner or a shibari rope bottom, you can filter out every profile that doesn't list kink or shibari as an interest. HOW IT WORKS helloPOLY is free to join — find polyamorous, open, poly-curious, or kinky people near you in minutes. APP FEATURES - Inclusive profiles — choose from over 10 gender identities and relationship styles. - Filter for exactly who you want — hide kinky profiles, or see only the kinksters. Same for shibari, and for monogamous or polyamorous. Your feed, your rules.- So much more than dating — helloPOLY is also where you'll find friendship, love, relationships, and marriage, shibari and kink events, local poly meetups, parties, education, and counselors and therapists who specialize in alternative relating. helloPOLY PREMIUM Go Premium to get the most from helloPOLY: - Unlimited likes — like as many people as you want - Unlimited messages and chat before matching - See who's already liked you - Boosted visibility — add your profile to the feature page for more likes - Go incognito — only people you've liked can see your profile - Superlikes to stand out - Second Chance — revisit a profile you skipped too quickly - Restore archived chats helloPOLY Premium renews monthly unless you adjust or cancel it in your App Store settings.

Every run. One link. LaRuta is where Puerto Rico's car runs get organised. Somebody posts one — a cars-and-coffee morning, a drive out to the coast, a meet in a parking lot — and everyone else RSVPs, sees who is coming and asks whatever they need to. WHAT YOU GET • Runs coming up, with the time, the meeting point and the route stop by stop • Who is going and in what. Real paint colours, so you recognise them on arrival • A wall on every run: where exactly, is it still on, anyone coming from my side • Your garage: your car, your photos, your Instagram, and the runs you were at IF YOU ORGANISE • Post one in minutes: date, meeting point, stops, capacity • Change something and everyone who RSVPed hears about it • Cancel and the whole list is told, without chasing anyone through a group chat • Pin, delete or report any comment on your run THIS IS NOT A RACE Social runs, meets and cruises. No street racing, no speed, nothing timed. Any post that reads as organising a race is refused before it is stored, and every run carries its safety notice. The community rules say so in the first line. Free. No ads. No in-app purchases. In Spanish, and in English if you prefer.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LaRuta787 at 100% against Poly Dating's 33%. LaRuta787 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Poly Dating's advantage is ratings volume (305 vs 4) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Poly Dating holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Poly Dating has 305 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Poly Dating's written reviews are positive against 100% of LaRuta787's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Poly Dating ships an update every 2 months, LaRuta787 every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
