Our manifesto
No love paywall.
But not naive either.
On most dating apps, love has become a game mechanic. They subscribe you, they make you buy likes, they show you who liked you… for ten bucks. And when you come looking for a real connection, you find a romantic casino with pink hearts.
Lovenly starts from another principle: the essential features to meet someone stay free. Profile, discovery, matches, post-match messaging, translation, blocking, reporting, account deletion. No 'unlock this person for €4'. No 'here's who liked you, for €9 a week'. Never.
But we're not naive.
Running Lovenly costs money: servers, moderation, automatic translation, anti-fraud, human support. Lovenly Plus, at €3.99/month or €34.99/year, funds all that. It removes ads, raises your daily limits, gives you a few comfort features. It gives you no matching advantage. If you like someone and they like you, you can talk. Always.
What we refuse to do.
- Sell your data. Not to a broker, not to an ad platform, never.
- Disguise ads as profiles. An ad has a black "AD" badge, period.
- Make you pay to talk. Post-match messaging is free and unlimited for normal use (reasonable daily limits to choke spam).
- Paywall video, real-time translation and identity verification. When they exist, they'll be designed for safety, not for rent.
- Hold you hostage. You can delete your account in one click, anytime. Your data leaves with you.
Safety before love.
Mandatory email verification. Human moderation. Auto-detection of scam keywords (money, crypto, medical emergency, visa…). Report / block button visible everywhere. Audited admin logs. Encryption at rest. And safety tips for real meetings, because an app will never replace your instinct.
We start small.
We're not launching a global Tinder. We start with the international dating we know: francophones looking elsewhere, expats, long-distance relationships, bridges between France and Asia. We build trust before mass.
