Hookup Site Comparisons: HookUps365 Side by Side
How a site made only for hookups compares with the apps and ad sites Australians also try, and when each one is the better pick.
Start with the question everyone asks
Is there a good hookup site or app in Australia? There are several, and the best one depends on how openly you want to talk about sex, how you like to pay and whether you want to install anything.
Our plain answer on hookup sites and apps puts seven options in one table. The four comparisons below go further, one service at a time, and each says when the other service is the better fit.

Which one fits what you want?
A quick guide to the four services compared here, from what each says about itself. The comparison pages have the detail and the dates.
| If you want | Look at |
|---|---|
| To say plainly that you want casual sex, from the first line | HookUps365, a site made for hookups |
| A general dating app with every kind of person on it | Tinder, where sexual content stays off public profiles |
| A curious, open-minded app that can be used for hookups | Feeld, an app with no browser version |
| Casual and lifestyle dating with events and parties | RedHotPie, an Australian-run app and site |
| To read and answer ads instead of being matched | Locanto, a classified-ads service |
How each comparison is put together
Every comparison rests mainly on what a service says on its own pages: its terms, its community guidelines, its help pages and its store listings, and any other source is named in the sentence. The date we read them is printed on each table, and a table built from an archived copy of a site says so. We leave out prices, which change often, and describe the way each service charges in words instead.
Each page also says plainly where the other service is the better choice, because a fair comparison has to.
Comparison questions
Which hookup site is best in Australia?
There is no single best one. A site built for hookups suits you if you want to be direct from the start; a general dating app suits you if you want a wider mix of people. Read the options table and pick the one that matches what you want.
Is HookUps365 better than Tinder for hookups?
For a hookup, a site made for casual sex lets you say what you want from the first line. Tinder is a general app with a different job. Our Tinder comparison sets out where each is stronger.
How often are the comparisons updated?
Each table carries the date it was last checked, so if a service changes its rules, that date tells you how old the information is.
