User rating: 3 stars out of 5
FriendsWithBenefits (friendswithbenefits.com) is an adult casual dating site aimed at people who want to meet others without the expectations of traditional dating. According to the platform, it describes itself as casual dating for adults with no strings attached, and lists a membership of around 2.5 million people with a minimum age of 20.
This review explains in plain terms what we could and could not confirm: what is free to use, what usually costs money, how cancellation tends to work, and what to check around privacy, consent and scams. The official site could not be opened for us at the time of writing, so we do not quote prices or terms that we could not see. Where a detail is not confirmed, we say so. Updated October 2026.
If you are comparing options, this page sits alongside our guides to friends with benefits sites and other casual dating sites in the UK.

Is friendswithbenefits.com free? Our partner data marks it as free to join, but we could not confirm which features need payment. Check the account area before you pay for anything.
How much does FriendsWithBenefits cost? We could not confirm current prices without an account, so we do not quote any. Plan length, auto-renewal, extras and offers usually decide the final cost.
Is this a real friends with benefits dating site? It is an adult casual dating service that describes itself as casual dating for adults with no strings attached. We cannot verify every profile, so stay alert to fake accounts and scams.
How do I cancel my membership? Look for a billing or subscription section in your account and turn off auto-renewal. If you paid through an app store, cancel there. Cancelling is different from deleting your profile.
Does cancelling delete my account? Not necessarily. Stopping payments and removing your profile are often separate steps, so check both in your account settings.
Are fwb dating sites safe? Safety depends on how you use them. Protect your personal details, never send money, report suspicious profiles and meet in a public place first.
What should I do if I was charged unexpectedly? Contact the platform first with your payment details. If that does not help, speak to your bank or card provider, and ask Citizens Advice or Trading Standards for guidance.
Can under 18s use FriendsWithBenefits? No. Adult dating sites are for people aged 18 and over. Report any account that seems to belong to a minor.
