Zoosk Review Details
First Impression
This dating site feels very modern, which makes it also feel very secure and safe. It feels like you’re signing up for Facebook or some other social media account. Plenty of features, including smart pick and carousel, make this dating site fun—sort of like Tinder.
Zoosk Interface
The Zoosk interface is strikingly familiar. It looks like an older version of Facebook, minus the newsfeed section. This makes the dating site a lot more comfortable to navigate through. The menu list on the left-hand side is well organized, and all suggested members are presented neatly in the center.
Zoosk Users
Zoosk dating has many members, so to help narrow them down, you can use the search features, including profession, views, and looks. Most members we came across appeared to be interested in serious dating and not so much one-night stands and flings. There will be some short-term dating seekers out there.
Zoosk Sign Up/Login
Facebook and Google account members will sign up for Zoosk to be a breeze as you can sign in with either social media account. If you choose to sign up manually, all you need to provide is some basic info, much like any social media or dating account, including your date of birth and e-mail address.
Profiles Quality
After filling out the basics, you’ll be sent a verification e-mail. After clicking the link sent to your e-mail, you’ll be able to access the site. However, you cannot complete the profile unless you provide the site with a valid phone number. This is a bit unusual for a web browser-based dating site. However, the site is available as an app, so it makes sense.
You’ll be sent a text containing an additional verification code. Once you type this code into the site, you’ll be able to access the full dating platform that is Zoosk.
Another thing that makes the Zoosk sign-up process stand out is that it uses VPN to verify that you are located where you claim you are. This prevents fake accounts from being made, as it stops people from lying about their location. It also ensures that the Zoosk carousel feature is more accurate, location-wise.
Communication
To engage in proper communication on this dating site, we’d definitely recommend buying a premium account. Although a free account is good for browsing through dating profiles and showing interest in certain ones, it’s impossible to engage in proper conversation with any of the people you’re interested in without first paying.
If you send a flirt to a premium member while using a free dating membership, the premium member will be able to respond to you. You can’t reply, however.
With a premium account, you can communicate to users after selecting them on the Carousel feature. You can select either ‘check’ ‘maybe,’ or ‘no’ for each dating profile the carousel suggests to you. After matching with someone, you can send them a smile or a heart. The person will then appear in your inbox, and you can engage in conversation from there.

Costs and Prices
Zoosk’s free membership is a great way to get a taste for the website but can be limiting if you’ve come to the site to engage in serious dating.
Prices:
1 month – $29.99 per month
3 months – $20.00 per month (Available as 1 lump payment of $59.99)
6 months – $12.50 per month (Available as 1 lump payment of $74.99)
Coin Prices:
180 coins – $19.99
480 coins – $39.99
It is possible to unlock some of the premium features using just coins on this dating site. However, it is better value for money to invest in a premium dating membership, as it can work out to be costly using just coins.
It is worth noting that Zoosk dating charges an additional beginner’s fee of $24.95, which gets added to whatever subscription package you select. This makes starting a premium account with Zoosk dating a bit expensive.
Free Account
With a free Zoosk account, you can complete the registration process and verify your E-mail and phone number. You can stress interest in other dating profiles by sending hearts, and you can even try out the Carousel feature. Sign up to Zoosk dating for free today to see what’s so good about it!
Premium Account
With a premium Zoosk dating account, you can access the website more freely. You can:
- Initiate conversation
- Hide your profile from other members
- Use the SmartPick feature, which selects ideal matches for you
- Experience a more optimized search
- Spend a long time on the site’s Carousel feature
