Mainstream
Large, budget-friendly site with behavior-based matching.
Heads up: Zoosk's parent company, Spark Networks, entered insolvency proceedings in 2026, and Spark closed its EliteSingles site that April. Zoosk is running, but check its status before buying a long plan.
Zoosk is a large general site with video-selfie verification and fair prices. Its owner's financial trouble is the main reason for caution.
