What Datingroo is
Datingroo is not somewhere to meet people. It says it reviews and compares "the best dating sites and apps", giving each platform a score out of 10 based on a weighted average of seven categories [1][2]. You cannot create a dating profile on it, and it takes no payments from readers.
Who runs it
The site's footer and privacy policy name Compado GmbH, at Uhlandstraße 171/172 in Berlin [1][3]. Compado's own imprint gives its registration as the Berlin Charlottenburg local court, number HRB 166101 B [4], and describes the company as a technology platform for contextual advertising and content monetisation [5]. Datingroo also runs sister sites for ten other countries [2].
How it makes money
Datingroo says its business model is based on affiliate partnerships with dating platforms: when you click a link and sign up, it may earn a commission at no cost to you [2]. It says these relationships do not influence its scores or rankings [2]. Its privacy policy says it may receive a small payment from companies it links to [3].
WhichDating works in a similar way: we may earn a commission when you join an app through our links, and it never changes a score. See our affiliate disclosure. WhichDating and Datingroo are not connected.
Terms and privacy
We found no terms of use on datingroo.com; its footer links only to a privacy policy [3]. The privacy policy says it is governed by the law of the reader's own country, and that Compado will not take part in the EU's online dispute resolution platform [3].
Apps and regulators
We found no Datingroo app on the App Store or Google Play. Searches of the US Federal Trade Commission, the UK Advertising Standards Authority, UK and EU government sites and US court records found no action naming Datingroo or Compado GmbH.
Before you pay any dating site
Read how it charges and what its terms say about who you are talking to, and check how to cancel. Never send money or gifts to someone you have not met in person.
