You wouldn’t buy a car without test-driving it first, so why would you sign up for a sugar dating site without reading any sugar daddy website reviews? It’s not only incredibly irresponsible (seriously, do you not care about internet security, like, at all) but you could end up wasting a whole lot of time and money on a site that’s no good for you. So before you go signing yourself up for every online dating site under the sun, read these reviews on sugar daddy websites. 

It’s worth noting that the feedback from users of these sugar daddy websites comes from online business review sites such as Sitejabber and DatingSiteReviews.com. Take them with a grain of salt and remember: no two experiences are alike.

Sugar daddy website reviews

1) Seeking

Formerly known as SeekingArrangement, this is probably the most well-known of all the sugar daddy websites. Founded way back in 2006 with the goal of connecting people for “mutually beneficial relationships,” the site’s owner has even used it for matchmaking his own relationships. Seeking.com is free for sugar babies and allows sugar daddies to message, like, and flirt with a limited number of potential matches for free. And in addition to filling out a detailed profile—complete with public pictures and a wishlist—users will also be able to create a locked photo album (in case privacy is a concern).

Sugar Babies who have used this site have said: On the downside, you’ll have to sift your way through Splenda Daddies to find someone more generous. On the upside, since the rebrand from SeekingArrangement to Seeking, the number of genuine users (vs. scammers) on the site has dwindled. 

Benefits for premium sugar daddy members: Preferred profile placement on Discover pages, verified status, unlimited messaging, custom search filters, ability to display up to three profile locations, messaging without a public photo, and ability to hide profile from searches. 

Membership payment options (payable by credit card or MultiCards):

2) EstablishedMen

EstablishedMen launched in 2008 with one goal: to successfully connect younger women with older, affluent men. Since then, the site has largely grown its membership base and prides itself on helping its users fulfill their desires. The site is free for sugar babies, but sugar daddies will have to upgrade to a premium account if they want to unlock all the site’s features. 

Sugar Babies who have used this site have said: For a free sugar daddy site, it offers about as much as one could expect. Finding a match (or even just a spark of chemistry) is difficult as many of the users don’t completely fill out their profile and go about the arrangement in a cheap and transactional manner. 

Benefits for premium sugar daddy members: Premium member badge, notifications when new members join, exclusive access to new members, unlimited messaging, and your profile being recommended to new members. 

Membership payment options (payable by PayPal or credit card):

3) SugarDaddyMeet

Since 2007, SugarDaddyMeet has been leading the world of sugar daddy sites. Not only does it host a large membership base, but joining is easy and members can choose to verify their personal details (like age, income, photos, and education). The site is free for sugar babies, but sugar daddies will have to upgrade to a premium account if they want to unlock all the site’s features. 

Sugar Babies who have used this site have said: There are a lot of fake profiles, little selection of real users, and the site has the tendency to suspend accounts for illegitimate reasons. 

Benefits for premium sugar daddy members: Unlimited messaging, unlimited searches and winks, and you can initiate conversations. 

Membership payment options (payable by PayPal/check card/credit card):

Sugar Babies that have used this site have said: There are a lot of fake profiles but finding a genuine connection is possible (we are talking about dating, people! So give yourself time and patience).

5) WhatsYourPrice

WhatsYourPrice.com offers users a more upfront approach to the arrangement side of sugar dating by requiring potential dates to offer a cash allowance with their invitation. So if a member views your profile, likes what they see and decides they want to take it to the next level, you’ll receive a message saying they’re interested and can offer you an allowance of increments between $50 to $200 to reimburse you for preparing for the date.

Sugar Babies that have used this site have said: There may be a lot of active users on site, but many of them are creeps who make the arrangement feel transactional. However, depending on your age preferences, many sugar babies have had luck arranging dates with older men (50+ years old).

What Sugar Daddies that have used this site have said: Some have had their profiles banned for reporting fake users and others say about 95% of the profiles are fake but it’s worth weeding them out for the other 5%. 

Premium Sugar Daddy membership benefits: unlimited messaging, access to chatrooms.

6) MissTravel

Unlike many other free sugar dating sites, MissTravel.com has a focus on fun excursions, romantic vacations, and adventurous dates. So if you’re looking for a casual (but consistent) travel companion instead of a more committed relationship, try MissTravel. The site is free for sugar babies, but sugar daddies will have to upgrade to a premium account if they want to unlock all the site’s features. 

Sugar Babies that have used this site have said: If you’re a sugar baby who is unable to afford your own basic vacations but would like to travel (or are just looking for NSA fun outside of your home city) MissTravel will probably work for you. However, if you’re looking for the royal treatment complete with luxury vacation excursions, look elsewhere. 

What Sugar Daddies that have used this site have said: There are a lot of active users (as well as fake profiles) but the premise of booking a trip instead of a date has people less willing to meet, unless they live locally. 

Premium Sugar Daddy membership benefits: Unlimited Messaging with members all over the world, browse invisibly, appear in Featured Trips in member search results, have new users featured daily on the dashboard.

7) Secret Benefits

When talking about sugar daddy website reviews, Secret Benefits comes highly recommended. This site has a beautiful layout and hosts thousands of active members daily. It also allows users with free memberships to access all of the site’s crucial features. You can search by distance, age, recent activity, etc., upload public and/or private photo albums, and chat with other members for free. And unlike most other sugar dating sites, Secret Benefits helps its users break the ice by automatically messaging any profile you “like” with your pre-written greeting. 

Sugar Babies that have used this site have said: This is the best site for finding a legitimate sugar relationship. There are a lot of active users and new users joining every day, so there’s seemingly no shortage of anyone to talk to. Additionally, since the site requires you fill out the entirety of your profile it’s easy to pick out sketchy profiles or those that have no chance at being a match before the conversation even has a chance to begin. 

What Sugar Daddies that have used this site have said: The global membership base comes in handy for those who travel frequently. There are a lot of active, real members and many have had successful arrangements thanks to the site.

Premium Sugar Daddy membership benefits: Unlimited messaging, likes, search options, and private browsing.
