To get full details on the benefits of eHarmony to singles, we did this review. The review covers membership, pricing, communication, profile quality, among other essential parts of the website. At the end of the review, you’ll understand why eHarmony is considered one of the top 10 free dating sites in the UK.

eHarmony Interface

eHarmony has a simple design. This simple design makes it an easy-to-use dating site, even for people who are not tech-savvy. We sampled this interface and the available features when preparing for this review and everything was straightforward. The website has a minimalist design that caters to a few features. Matches are arranged in a grid format, only showing their name, age, and a city under blurred profile images.

eHarmony Members

eHarmony dating site has 600,000 users in the United Kingdom. Globally, the website has over 66 million users in more than 200 countries. A majority of these members are looking for serious singles seeking long-term dating or marriage. Most members are in the 25 to 34 years age bracket, which is why most people either want to settle or only seek partners for long-term serious relationships.

The male-to-female ratio on the dating platform is almost equal. It gives male and female singles at eHarmony almost equal chances of getting a match quickly. Most members are educated and leading a stable lifestyle. It’s rare to find people seeking casual interactions at eHarmony.

Count of Users

eHarmony has over 66 million users across the world. The website has 600,000 members in the United Kingdom. There are over 90,000 active members every week.

Profiles Quality

During the registration process, eHarmony seeks to gather as much information about new members as possible. It is what we discovered when we signed up and tried the dating platform for this review. Everyone must answer a questionnaire about themselves. The result of this process is that eHarmony has detailed and quality profiles. The personality test gauges a member’s personality. The amount of information a member puts on their profile will determine their compatibility with certain members.

The profile of a user contains all the information from the personality tests and questionnaires they took. Furthermore, each profile has the ‘About Me’ section. The compatibility tab shows you a score of the level of compatibility with a particular user or profile. You can also know more about a member through the questions they have answered in the Q&A portion.

Communication

There are few communication options at eHarmony. It means that if you’re a free user, your options are further limited. The only form of communication on this dating site is through messaging, which is a preserve of premium members. Free users can only send the site-generated questions, and the recipient can decide to answer or not answer the questions. Free users can also send winks and add people to their favorites list.

Therefore, it is important to upgrade your eHarmony account to enjoy online dating on the platform through full messaging fully. If you’re a free member and receive messages from interested parties, you cannot respond to them.

Costs and Prices

Many users claim that the pricing at eHarmony is a bit high. Furthermore, there is little you can do with the free or standard account. The advantage of this pricing structure is that it weeds out scammers and people who want to create fake profiles to abuse users on the platform.

Free Account

Free services on this dating site include:

• Sending 5 site-generated questions
• Account and profile creation
• Browsing matches that are outside your preferences
• View member profiles
• Add users to favorites list
• Sending winks

One of the major limitations of the free account is the limited messaging. You cannot send messages. You can also not respond to the messages that you receive. 

Premium Account

A premium account at eHarmony gives you full access to communication. You can also browse anonymously, view photos, get matches that are outside your preferences, view people that you have added to the favorites list, and see members who have viewed you. The premium packages include: 

• Premium Light: 6 months at 179.40 GBP
• Premium Plus: 12 months at 143.40 GBP
• Premium Extra: 24 months at 214.80 GBP

App & Mobile Version

eHarmony has a great-looking mobile dating app that is free to download. The app is available on both iOS and Android. This mobile application has a clean layout, just like the desktop site. The app is, therefore, easy to navigate. You can easily scroll through your favorites list and match list. All features on the eHarmony desktop site are available on the mobile dating app.

This application is convenient, especially for users who are always on the go. Through the app, you can match and contact with members anytime and from anywhere.

Privacy and Safety Features

eHarmony is a safe and secure dating platform. Through the thorough verification process when members are signing up, the dating service can minimize the number of jokers and fake profiles on the platform. You have the capability to block or report abusive users on the website.

Our Experience on eHarmony

“Compared to other online dating sites, eHarmony has verifiable success stories. There are many people who have married through the website and people who got their long-term partners on the platform. That is why I decided to give it a try. That compatibility matching system is a helpful feature because I was able to meet singles who fit my personality and preferences. I give eHarmony 4 stars.”

The Bottom Line and Rating

eHarmony is a great platform for singles looking for serious relationships. The matching system makes it possible for users to get connected to their compatible matches.
