Our review
★★☆☆☆ 2.2
WhatsYourPrice, from Seeking’s founder, lets members literally bid money for first dates. The site frames it as compensating someone’s time; critics frame it less charitably. It is transparent about its transaction, which is more than some platforms can say, and everything else follows from that premise.
Pros
- Total transparency of premise
- First dates actually happen
- No ambiguity about expectations
Cons
- Ethically fraught by design
- Pay-to-play dynamics
- Not for anyone seeking normalcy
