RSVP Review (RSVP.com.au)

RSVP, Australia's largest dating site, was founded Valentine's Day in 1997. RSVP has consistently been ranked as the #1 online dating service (determined by number of visits) by several popular internet traffic measurement companies. With millions of member profiles, it is free to join and browse this Australian online dating service either via their website or dating apps available from Apple and Google. RSVP reports 30,000 new members every month and over 40,000 conversations a day. In Australia for the couples who met online, 1 in 3 of those met while using the RSVP dating service.

RSVP gets a lot of things right, from how the dating site an apps are organized to the email and messaging tools they offer for communication between members. Searching is easy and offers all of the important attributes needed, including filtering out any members who have not signed onto the dating site for a period of time. One of the best features at RSVP is the ability to use the stamp credit system to reply to members via email for free. This way, you only pay for the service if you wish to initiate contact with a member.

If you live in Australia, are single and are looking for a partner online, then the dating site RSVP is one choice you should consider.

Positives of RSVP

These are the best parts of RSVP.

  • More than 1,200 new singles from Australia join the site every day
  • Free to reply to members’ emails
  • Members can only contact each other once their profile is mostly completed
  • When searching, you can filter out inactive profiles by specifying the date the members must have last logged into RSVP
  • Many single events hosted by RSVP, available in all parts of Australia
  • RSVP has a mobile app for both Android and Apple

Negatives of RSVP

These are the parts of RSVP which needs improvement.

  • Even though singles in other countries can join, this site is really only designed for people in Australia
  • Too many sponsored links and advertisements on the website, making it visually cluttered
  • No membership type that gives you complete access to all members at any time
  • Stamps + Subscriptions makes things confusing and EXPENSIVE

Editors Bottom Line

What should you take away from this review of RSVP? Our expert explains:

"RSVP" is a dating service for people living in Australia only. While you can get away with using the service for free if members contact you, most will have to buy stamps and maybe a subscription to actual initiate a conversation. This can become expensive if you want to message a lot of people.

We give RSVP, a 2.75 out of 5 Stars! 🙂
