Flirtcafe.de – Singles exchange tested and compared
Overall impression: [Rating:35/100]
There are a large number of websites on the World Wide Web that specialize in offering singles and other people looking for a partner the chance to make new acquaintances so that they can possibly exchange being single for a relationship. This also applies to the flirtcafe on www.flirtcafe.de, which primarily aims to appeal to lonely hearts under the age of 35.
According to the company, Flirtcafe places great value on quality and seriousness. This should be ensured, among other things, by checking newly created profiles by employees.
According to official information, there are around 1,500,000 active members per month (although we are talking about singles here, but in fact this does not have to be the case, as you do not have to be single to be active on Flirtcafe, and you do not have to lose your account if yours is relationship status changes) access this homepage, which promises the contact seeker a high hit rate.
We assume that around 300,000 of these registered profiles are actually active.
The website itself is relatively simple and equipped with the most necessary functions that are sufficient for the intended purpose. As a non-paying member, you have the opportunity to post pictures, make your profile meaningful and send limited messages.
You can also search for other members with this free account. However, if you want to get in touch with a person, you must first upgrade to a paid membership.
So if you are not prepared to pay for (actively) contacting a member, you actually have no opportunity to get to know other people with this provider and therefore no opportunity to make private contacts.
Most dating sites on the Internet have a very high proportion of men, which usually far exceeds the proportion of women. However, Flirtcafe advertises that 45% of its users are female and 55% are male. This ensures balanced flirting and online dating, at least on paper.
However, the search for a partner on this site is relatively complicated, as only a few criteria can be excluded for the personal and individual search.
As a searcher, you can only narrow down the desired age, relationship status and place of residence, which achieves a high density of hits, but the result does not necessarily have to correspond to your own desired criteria.
In conclusion, one can say about this provider that it represents a suitable platform for young people to look for and, if necessary, even find like-minded people.
However, you should think carefully about whether you are willing to pay for these services. If you don't want to spend money to contact other singles, you've unfortunately come to the wrong address at www.flirtcafe.de.
The devil at the Flirtcafe.de singles exchange is in the details, more precisely in the terms and conditions. This reveals that the subscription is automatically extended if you don't take care of it in time.
In addition, the hotline is expensive and it seems as if there are a lot of fake profiles on this dating exchange and some messages literally smell of spam. All in all, caution is advised with this provider.

If the subscription is not canceled in due time, it will automatically be converted into a 6-month subscription (cost: 19.00 euros per week).
If the customer does not cancel by the end of the current contract, the contract will be extended by a further 6 months at the aforementioned price. Termination at the end of the respective six-month contract period is possible with a notice period of 2 months before the end of the term. Termination must be made to Flirtcafe Online GmbH in writing.
So if you sign up for a trial subscription and are not sure whether you would also like to use a paid premium account with Flirtcafe, you should definitely cancel the trial access in good time.

Conclusion
At first glance, we liked the Flirtcafe dating site relatively well. It's visually beautifully designed and clearly structured, and you'll notice a lot of pretty profiles right away. During the test subscription we also had the impression that we received a lot of letters from attractive singles.
After taking out a paid premium account, we realized that the main work was on building a promising facade. We quickly suspected that numerous profiles were systematically created fakes and that the letters also seemed to follow a pattern. Serious contact requests from real people only rarely seemed to be hidden behind it.
The costs of Flirtcafe are in the upper price category. The fact that there are only 6-month subscriptions and that canceling them is difficult makes us advise against using this provider. If you still want to try Flirtcafe, just click on the red button.

I can only warn against this portal. In my opinion it is a rip-off before the Lord! As long as you are registered for free, your mailbox will be full. And once you're registered with a subscription, then there's nothing left.
But now how to get out again? This is really difficult! In any case, I can only warn everyone about this provider and generally advise against it.
I accepted the 3 day free service. Unfortunately, I only read later that you had to cancel straight away. Aslo first arrested for 3 months. So pay! Terminated immediately in writing. No confirmation. The debit is made again after 3 months. Immediately objected and canceled by fax, by post and by fax and pointed out my first cancellation. They don't respond to my emails either. Tried by phone. Well, paid money again. They are threatening debt collection right away! I don't pay anything...
I thought that the standard here is relatively high when it comes to the looks of the women 😉
But after a while the dating site got to me, especially because of the many fakes, spam and the expensive hotline. Hopefully the club will be closed soon. Either you do serious business or leave it alone. This is my opinion. And that's not serious.
