Facebook Dating Free Trial & Discounts (2026)

How to try Facebook Dating without paying — and how to get the best price if you upgrade.

Short answer

ℹ️ There is nothing to trial — Facebook Dating has no paid plans. You only need a Facebook account and to be 18 or older.

What you can do for free

  • Separate dating profile
  • Likes and messaging
  • Secret Crush with Facebook friends
  • Everything is free

No trial needed

There is nothing to trial on Facebook Dating: the whole service is free. To get started you need:

  • a Facebook account in good standing;
  • to be 18 or older;
  • to live in a country where Facebook Dating is available.

Then open the Facebook app, find Dating in the menu and create your separate profile.

Getting the most from it

  1. Use new photos. Separate photos from your main profile keep your dating life and social life apart.
  2. Fill in the prompts. Profiles here are read, not just swiped.
  3. Add a Secret Crush or two if there is someone you have been meaning to ask out — nothing happens unless it is mutual.
  4. Check your preferences so you see the age range and distance you actually want.

If it feels quiet

Activity differs between cities and age groups. If after two weeks you see few new profiles, keep the free profile running and add a busier app — Tinder or Hinge — rather than expecting Facebook Dating to change.

If Dating does not appear in your menu, check that your Facebook app is up to date and that your account meets the age and country requirements. It is not available everywhere, and availability can change. There is no separate sign-up form: everything happens inside the Facebook app you already use.
