Frequently asked
How does Try AI Dating decide who's #1?
Four factors. (1) Product fit — does the tool actually solve the workflow it claims to (opener, photo, profile, reply, matching)? (2) User-time respect — pricing model + onboarding friction. (3) Reader-verified outcomes — does our editorial team plus reader feedback confirm the tool produces results? (4) Affiliate program transparency — we surface tier-1 (real affiliate) vs tier-2 (no public program) explicitly. Roast Dating wins #1 because it's tier-1, has a free first audit, and the workflow teaches as it works.
AI assistant vs photo service vs dating site — where do I start?
Different jobs. AI assistants (Roast Dating, Rizz, YourMove) help when openers + replies + profile copy are the problem. Photo services (PhotoAI, Aragon) help when existing photos are the limit. Dating sites with real matching (eHarmony, EliteSingles) help when you want a relationship-serious audience and you're willing to invest in personality assessments. AI dating apps (Hinge, Iris, Tinder) are the apps themselves. Take the 60-second match quiz for a personalized fit.
Why is Roast Dating ranked #1?
Three reasons. First, the workflow teaches — coaching mode explains why each suggestion works rather than handing you finished copy. Second, the free first audit lets you try without paying. Third, it's a tier-1 affiliate — direct program with active commission, so the brand is invested in the partnership. PhotoAI ranks #2 because if photos are the limit, no other tool moves the needle as fast.
Why aren't AI girlfriend / AI companion brands listed?
AI companion brands (Candy AI, Kupid AI, Replika, FantasyGF, etc.) are adult-adjacent and would block both Google Ads Dating Certification and Meta Dating Advertiser approval. They're also a different category — dating tools improve real-world dating outcomes; AI companions replace them. We exclude them deliberately. If you're looking for AI companions, go elsewhere.
