Yes, you can try ugly dating free. Joining The Ugly Bug Ball costs nothing, and the free account is a real account that never expires: you can build a full profile, browse members, get daily matches near you, share posts on the feed, use a daily message allowance and answer paid members as often as you like. Here is exactly what is free and what a paid membership adds.

What every member can do

  • Create a profile with photos, a bio and what you are looking for.
  • Browse members and get fresh match suggestions near you every day.
  • Send a number of messages every day, and reply to VIP and VIP Plus members without limit.
  • Post photos and updates to the members' feed, comment and join polls and quizzes.
  • Verify your profile with ID or a short video call and earn the Verified badge.
  • Block and report anyone, and reach the support team around the clock.

VIP lifts the daily message limit and adds advanced search, members-only chat rooms, private group chats and a list of everyone who likes you. VIP Plus puts your profile at the top of other members' daily matches and shows your messages and likes first. Both come in plans from one week to a year, with every price shown before you pay on our pricing page. Nobody has to upgrade.

Free dating sites with unlimited messaging

It's what everyone wants from a free dating site: unlimited messaging without paying a penny. Here's how close you get on The Ugly Bug Ball: every free account gets a number of messages each day and unlimited replies to paid members, so a conversation someone else starts can run as long as you both like.

Getting the most from a free account

Spend your daily messages on people whose profiles you have actually read, and write something personal each time. Fill in your profile properly, because a complete profile gives people something to write to, and you can always reply. Verify your profile so people trust you. Our dating profile tips help, and our features page lists everything in one place.

The same protection for every member

Every member, free or paid, gets the same protections: private usernames, photo and message screening, alerts if someone tries to move you off the site, and real people on hand day and night. See our safety page, and our guide to whether The Ugly Bug Ball is legit for how the site is run.
