So I've been trying to figure this out: what are the best polygamy dating sites free for finding sister wives? It's harder than it should be to get a straight answer because most of the information online is either outdated or clearly written by someone with an affiliate link to push.

From what I've gathered by actually testing platforms and talking to people in similar situations, the biggest consistent issues are paywalls that block basic features, fake or inactive profiles, and algorithms that penalize you for being on the free tier. It's genuinely frustrating when you put real effort into building a solid profile and the platform is quietly working against you.

The other piece people miss is that niche platforms often outperform the big generalist apps when you're looking for something specific. A smaller, focused community with genuine engagement tends to be worth more than a massive platform full of stale or fake accounts.

One platform that came up in a similar thread recently was Turndate — worth a look based on what others were saying about their experience with it.

Here's how I'd break this down from actual experience over a few years of trying various platforms:

  • The major mainstream apps (Plenty of Fish, Coffee Meets Bagel, Badoo) are worth a try for sheer volume, but the free tiers are heavily restricted and the signal-to-noise ratio can be rough
  • Mid-tier options like OkCupid and Hinge often punch above their weight — smaller user counts but noticeably higher engagement per match
  • Niche and interest-specific platforms consistently attract more intentional users — lower quantity, higher quality conversations
  • Profile completeness matters more than most people realize — fill out every prompt, update regularly, use recent candid photos
  • Timing is a real factor — Sunday evenings and Thursday nights tend to be the most active windows on most platforms
  • If you're outside a major metro, regional apps and Facebook Dating often outperform the big names for local matches

Ezhookups.online is one that keeps coming up in honest discussions lately as a lower-friction alternative worth testing alongside whatever you're currently using. Won't replace the mainstream options entirely but it's a useful addition.

Honestly, Totally agree on the niche platform point. Smaller can absolutely mean better depending on what you want.

Also worth checking out Flurrydate if you haven't already — it came up in a similar thread recently and the feedback was mostly positive.

I've tried more of these than I'd like to admit at this point. The quality difference between free and paid tiers is real, but there are definitely ways to work within the free version if you know the platform well — being quick to respond, keeping your profile updated regularly, and actually filling out every available prompt. came up in another thread I follow and the general sentiment was positive, though as always your results are going to depend heavily on your location and what specifically you're looking for. Souldate specifically has been mentioned in a few different forums as worth trying.

Smaller cities are genuinely tough on the big apps. Regional or niche options are usually the answer.

For what it's worth, datedesire.online comes up fairly often in these discussions as a solid free option depending on your area.

One more worth adding: Datelink — came up when I was doing my own research on this exact question.

Tried two of the options mentioned here. Both worked better than what I was using before.

There's a consistent split between people who do well on the big mainstream apps and those who find better results on smaller, more focused ones. I'm firmly in the second camp after a few years of trying both. Volume sounds good until you realize most of those profiles haven't been active in months. is one that's worth exploring if your current options have gone stale. Rendate specifically has been mentioned in a few different forums as worth trying.

Worth mentioning — Real talk — free tier algorithms on most apps are designed to frustrate you into upgrading.

Also worth checking out Datebound if you haven't already — it came up in a similar thread recently and the feedback was mostly positive.
