FAQ

Common questions — AdopteUnMec and Mad2Moi.

  • AdopteUnMec or Mad2Moi for dating in France?

    Adopte has a larger historical volume, especially in major cities. Mad2Moi offers a more modern, more inclusive experience (LGBTQ+, niches), with a premium price 3-4× cheaper for men and stricter moderation.

  • Is Adopte's 'women choose' model still relevant in 2026?

    It worked for 15 years but feels dated against inclusive apps. The dynamic has shifted — fewer women want to be cast as 'consumers' and more men refuse male paywalls. Mad2Moi accepts pricing asymmetry (free for women) without gendering who takes the initiative.

  • What does Adopte cost for a man?

    Adopte sells Charm Credits à la carte (about €8 for 10 charms to start a conversation) or a Premium subscription between €40 and €60/mo depending on duration. Mad2Moi Premium is €14.99/mo unlimited — clear gap.

  • Is Adopte secure?

    Adopte is GDPR-compliant and hosted in France, but moderation is mixed and report processing can take several days. At Mad2Moi every report is read by a person, and an anti-scam guide is built in.

  • Is Mad2Moi as well-known as Adopte?

    No — Adopte has 18 years of market presence and millions of historical sign-ups. Mad2Moi has 30,000 members, is younger (launched 2020), but grows fast across alternative niches, broader francophonie and the LGBTQ+ community.
