For non-monogamy and open-minded exploration, Feeld is our top pick, 7.8/10. It’s smaller than Tinder, and the app can be glitchy, but no mainstream-ish app comes close on intent, inclusivity or how at-home it makes ENM, poly and kink-curious daters feel. Join free, link your partner if you’ve got one, see how busy your city is, and only think about Majestic once you know the crowd is there.
- +The most on-intent app for ENM, poly, open relationships and kink, people here actually want what you want
- +Genuinely judgement-free and inclusive, with 20+ gender/sexuality options and strong LGBTQ+ representation
- +Matching and messaging are free, and partner linking makes it the best app for couples and finding a third
