The trans dating apps, compared
Five apps, compared on the four things that actually decide whether one works for you.
Every list like this one is written by somebody with a reason to write it, and ours is that we are building a sixth app. So here is the rule we set ourselves: nothing on this page is our impression of an app. Every factual claim comes from the app's own public listing, checked on 21 August 2026, and where a listing was silent or our check failed, the page says so.
We have not ranked them, and we are not going to. Which one is best depends on who you are, who you are looking for and which platform you own — and a ranking would mostly be a way of putting ourselves at the top of it.
The four questions that decide it
Who is admitted. This is the one people underestimate. An app that admits everyone and an app that admits only trans people produce completely different experiences from identical feature lists, and no amount of moderation closes that gap.
What the safety tools actually are. Verification, blocking, reporting, and control over what your profile shows. The useful question is not whether an app has these but whether the ones that protect you are free.
What costs money. Specifically: does anything that keeps you safe or lets you reply to a message sit behind a subscription? That is the line between a paid feature and a hostage situation.
Where it runs. Prosaic, but if the app you want is not on your phone, the rest is academic.
What the listings say
| App | Who is admitted | Safety tools it advertises | What costs money | Platforms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Taimi | Everyone across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, including cis people | Photo verification, screenshot protection, moderation | Free to use, Bronze / Silver / Gold subscription tiers | iOS, Android |
| Butterfly | Any gender or sexuality, on the basis that members are open to dating trans people | Liveness verification, optional non-face photos, messages deleted after 30 days | Free tier plus a VIP subscription | iOS; no Google Play listing we could find |
| Transdr (now Translr) | Trans and non-binary people, crossdressers, admirers, allies | Profile and video verification, stated 24/7 moderation | Free tier, VIP subscription, plus a coin currency | iOS; an Android listing appears to exist (unverified) |
| Fiorry | Trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people, plus allies | Photo verification on every profile, visibility controls, one-device login | Free tier, Plus and Unlimited subscriptions | iOS, Android, web |
| HER | Queer women, lesbian, bi, non-binary, trans and gender non-conforming people | Incognito mode, blocking and reporting, community guidelines enforcement | Core features free; Premium, Gold and Platinum tiers | iOS, Android |
| T4TSpace us | Trans and non-binary people only | Verification as the condition of entry, not a paid badge | Free at launch; nothing safety-related will ever be paid | Nothing released — waitlist only |
Where we could not verify something
Four of the five apps list in-app purchase prices without saying what duration each price buys. We have reproduced the figures and refused to convert them into monthly costs, because that conversion would be a guess presented as a fact. Translr is the exception and publishes durations.
We could not find a Google Play listing for Butterfly, and its own Android page still refers to a mid-2021 Play Store release. Our attempt to read the Google Play listing for Translr returned incomplete data, so its Android availability is recorded here as unverified.
We have not tested any of these apps' moderation, verification or matching. Nobody can verify a moderation claim from the outside, including us, and a page that pretended otherwise would be worthless.
Including ourselves in this, honestly
T4TSpace is in the table above because leaving it out would be coy, and it is in the table with nothing released, because that is the truth. There is no app. There is a waitlist and a set of commitments we have written down publicly so we can be held to them.
So the honest answer to which of these you should install today is: one of the five, not ours. If what you want is a trans-only room and you are willing to wait for it, join the waitlist. If you want to meet someone this month, pick from the five above using the four questions.
