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

Ease
6.0
A mid-tier pick, not a top one, 6.2/10 (safety 5.8, value 6.4, members 6.6, ease 6.0). Fling is real, explicit, and can work for a US user who's willing to filter out the fakes, but the documented bot-message and upsell behaviour drags it below the cleaner options. Join free, message recently-active local profiles, and only go Gold once you've confirmed there are real people on the other end.
- +Free to join and browse, so you can scope out the local crowd before paying, and women use most of it free
- +Genuinely explicit and direct, no pretending it's anything but casual, which saves everyone time
- +Solid US pool after nearly 20 years online, busiest in bigger American cities
