Our pick 
Tinder
7.5/ 10
Safety
6.5
Value
6.0
Crowd

Ease
9.2
The giant default, and a solid one, 7.5/10 (safety 6.5, value 6.0, members 9.5, ease 9.2; weighted safety 30%, value 30%, members 20%, ease 20%). Unbeatable on crowd size and ease, more middling on value and signal-to-noise. For pure no-strings casual it's a flaky, paywall-heavy pond you have to filter yourself, but it's free, it's everywhere, and it's the right place to start. Swipe free first, and only pay once your city proves it's worth the boost.
- +The biggest crowd in dating, full stop, every city, every hour, more profiles than you can swipe
- +Effortless to use: the swipe is the most intuitive interface in dating, free to match and message
- +Best app for travel thanks to Passport, plus photo verification and solid reporting tools
GoNaughty
5.3/ 10
Safety
4.8
Value
5.2
Crowd
4.5
Ease
6.8
An honest 5.3/10, a smaller, flirtier option, not a leader. GoNaughty is easy to use and can be fun for cheeky chat, but the per-message credits get pricey and the admitted operator-run profiles mean real meet-ups are far from guaranteed. Worth a curious, budgeted look; if you actually want to hook up tonight, one of our bigger, more proven casual picks will serve you better.
- +Free, fast sign-up and a simple chat box, genuinely easy to get started, no learning curve
- +Aussie-friendly: pricing in AUD and a crowd that skews AU, US and UK
- +Pay-as-you-go credits mean you can dip a toe in without committing to a long subscription
