# Dating.com vs Love.ru

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Love.ru at 64% against Dating.com's 9%. Love.ru also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.5) and device support (3 vs 1). Dating.com's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and chart position (#52 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dating.com sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Love.ru sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Love.ru holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13K and 4K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 9% of Dating.com's written reviews are positive against 64% of Love.ru's.

Dating.com ships an update fortnightly, Love.ru every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
