How to cancel a dating subscription in Switzerland
Notice periods, cancellation channels and app store rules at 18 platforms, with the full dataset in CSV.
Who is behind the reviews
All dating sites listed below are written and maintained by Sacha Bernard, an independent publisher based in Belgium, under the Webandreview name (Belgian company no. 1022.727.121). There is no newsroom and no ghost team: one publisher, one method, applied the same way on every site.
Why one site per platform? Someone searching for « be2 Erfahrungen » or « avis C-Date » wants a complete answer about that one service: what it costs in francs, how cancellation works, whether it is safe. A dedicated site can go deeper than a single paragraph in a list of ten apps.
Each site states on every page that it is independent from the platform it reviews, and links back to this page.
The test,
step by step
The same six checks are run for every platform before a review goes online, and repeated when prices or terms change.
The sign-up path
Registration is followed on the Swiss version of the platform, the way a new member would see it, up to the order page. When a test profile is used, it never writes to real members.
Prices from the order page
Prices are copied from the checkout page in francs whenever it can be reached, including every package length and the renewal price, with the date they were seen. When a platform only shows its prices to a profile type we could not use, the review says which source the figures come from.
Terms and cancellation
The terms of service are read in full: notice period, automatic renewal, how to cancel (form, letter, e-mail) and how to delete a profile. The relevant clause is quoted and captured.
Safety and operator
Who runs the service, where the company is registered, which law applies, what the platform does against fake profiles and how members can report someone.
Own screenshots
The screenshots on our sites come from our own test sessions on the platforms, not from press kits or image banks. Pages that show other members are avoided.
Dated sources
Each review ends with its sources and the date they were checked: official pages, app store listings, consumer guides. When something cannot be verified, the review says so.
How the rating works
Each platform gets a score out of 10, based on the five criteria on the right, in that order of importance. It answers one question: for the audience the platform is built for, is it a good place to look for a partner in Switzerland?
The score is not a popularity contest and it is not for sale. Platforms we would not recommend to a friend are simply not reviewed.
Scores are revised when a re-test shows a change in prices, terms or features.
How the sites are funded
Buttons and links to the reviewed platforms are affiliate links. If a reader signs up and buys a subscription through them, Webandreview receives a commission from the platform or from an affiliate network. The reader pays the same price.
- Affiliate links are marked as partner links and carry
rel="sponsored". - Platforms do not see, edit or approve a review before it is published.
- Commissions do not change the method or the rating criteria above.
- There is no paid placement, no sponsored ranking and no display advertising on the review sites.
Our dating
review project
Thirteen review sites, one for each platform and language region, built as a single project: one method, one author, one correction policy. It started in Switzerland and now reaches Germany. Alle Seiten werden von Webandreview herausgegeben. Tous ces sites sont édités par Webandreview.
Why we started it
Switzerland is a small, multilingual dating market, and very little is written for it. Most reviews online are made for Germany or France: prices in euros, EU consumer rules, sometimes offers that are not sold here. A Swiss reader searching for be2 or eDarling often lands on a page with the wrong price and the wrong notice period. We wanted reviews that start from the Swiss version of each platform, in the reader’s language, with prices in francs and contract terms under Swiss law. The same idea now applies in Germany, starting with a platform built for active singles.
Why one site per platform
Comparison pages rank ten apps on one page, and the order often follows what each brand pays for its place. A dedicated review has no ranking to sell: it judges one platform against what it promises and what it costs. It also has room for what a list leaves out: the full sign-up path, every package with its renewal price, the notice period quoted from the terms and the steps to cancel. The goal is the most objective opinion we can give, so readers can decide for themselves.
What readers rarely know
Several of these platforms belong to the same company. be2, eDarling, Academic Singles, Zusammen.ch, Verliebt ab 40, 60plusTreff, Le Parfait Gentleman, Coup de foudre 40+ and, in Germany, Aktiv & Verliebt are all run by be2 S.à r.l. in Luxembourg. Every review names the operator, so readers know who they actually sign a contract with, and can compare brands knowing they may be the same service under different names.
Written for the people who use them
Four of these platforms are built for singles over 40, 50 or 60. For their readers, the reviews favour readable pages, clear steps and plain answers: how long the contract runs, when it renews, how to stop it in time. A renewal that goes unnoticed can cost several months of subscription, so cancellation gets its own section on every site.
