Pros and cons
Pros
- A free version carries many features, with premium packs sold on top: Free version with many features; premium packs extra.
- Manual checks by moderators apply to every profile, a stricter setup than the 52.8% share of casual dating brands here: All profiles manually verified by moderators.
- The entry price of XOF 5,000 sits below the €13.57 for casual dating brands.
- It runs as an app, the format used by 72.5% of the casual dating brands in this ranking.
- A pool of 4,000,000+ users worldwide (site, 2026) sits behind a clearly described audience: Serious dating, diaspora singles worldwide.
Cons
- Subscriptions auto-renew, cancellation is handled in store settings, and a refund is ruled out once a pack is used: Auto-renews; cancel in store settings; no refund once used.
- Support runs on email and help centre, so there is no voice channel for account or renewal questions.
- The monthly pack includes ad credits: 4 ad credits of 5000 XOF with monthly pack, so the paid tiers are about reach as much as messaging.
Who it suits
- Adults who want to browse and message at no cost before paying: Free version with many features; premium packs extra.
- Diaspora singles looking for a relationship-focused pool: Serious dating, diaspora singles worldwide.
- Readers who put moderator checks on profiles high on their list: All profiles manually verified by moderators.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone comparing prices in euros: BDSM-baari lists fees of €0.83 to €2.50, an easier scale to weigh than the XOF 5,000 entry price here.
- Adults shopping for a senior audience: Senior.dk Dating lists DKK 2.30 monthly, while the audience here is Serious dating, diaspora singles worldwide.
Billing and cancelling
Cancelling happens in store settings rather than through a form inside the app, and a refund is not available once a pack has been used: Auto-renews; cancel in store settings; no refund once used. A subscription keeps renewing until that setting is changed, so the first purchase is the one worth reading up on, particularly if you plan to leave quickly. On the data side, Privacy and cookie policies published on site, which is the document to read before uploading a profile or entering payment details. It is a starting point rather than a summary, so read the sections on data use before you sign up.
Using the service
The stated focus is Serious dating, diaspora singles worldwide, which narrows who you are likely to meet: the pool is built around people treating this as a relationship rather than passing time, and around diaspora connections. Size still matters on a focused service, and this one reports 4,000,000+ users worldwide (site, 2026) across its network. Because the audience is defined by intent and by origin, a member outside that description may find a thinner pool here than on a broader site that mixes more interests, so the focus is worth reading twice before you register.
Members and plans
Plans are sold as Solo, Diaspora and Premium Plus tiers across monthly and longer terms: Monthly, 3, 6, 12-month: Solo, Diaspora, Premium Plus. The audience is Serious dating, diaspora singles worldwide, and the service reports 4,000,000+ users worldwide (site, 2026) in total, so each tier has a defined group to draw on. Credits are part of the picture: 4 ad credits of 5000 XOF with monthly pack comes with the monthly pack, which suits members who want their profile seen as much as members who mainly want to send messages. Reading the two side by side tells you which tier matches how you plan to use the service.
The company behind it
The operator is Affinity Square US Inc., registered in the US, and the same entity is named in the terms of use. That is the party to address with a billing question, a renewal query or a request about your data. Support runs on email and help centre, so a written reply is the main route to an answer, and there is no listed voice channel for account problems such as a disputed charge. Keeping your own copy of the confirmation email makes any later exchange easier to follow.

Frequently asked questions
What does Chat&Yamo cost to start?+
The entry point is XOF 5,000 for the cheapest monthly tier, and the same tiers are sold on longer terms: Monthly, 3, 6, 12-month: Solo, Diaspora, Premium Plus. That sits below the €14 recorded for the brands here, and a free version is available, so paying is optional at the outset.
Is there a free version, and what is missing from it?+
Yes, there is: Free version with many features; premium packs extra means the core service can be used at no cost and premium packs sit on top of it. Members who mainly want to browse and message do not need to buy a pack. Paying adds tiers, and the monthly pack also bundles 4 ad credits of 5000 XOF with monthly pack.
How do I cancel, and can I get money back?+
Subscriptions auto-renew and cancellation is handled in store settings rather than inside the app: Auto-renews; cancel in store settings; no refund once used. A refund is not available once a pack has been used, so treat the first purchase as the one to think hardest about. Turning renewal off before the next billing date is what stops later charges.
Are profiles checked to confirm real people?+
They are: All profiles manually verified by moderators, a stricter approach than the 52.8% share of casual dating brands in this ranking. Manual review by moderators is slower than an automated check, so a new profile may take a little longer to appear in search while it is reviewed.
Who is the audience on Chat&Yamo?+
The focus is Serious dating, diaspora singles worldwide, so the pool is built around people looking for a relationship and around diaspora connections rather than around casual chat. The service reports 4,000,000+ users worldwide (site, 2026) in total, and that figure is the one to weigh against the audience description before you decide the site fits you.
Does it run on a phone app?+
It runs as an app, and its store listing scores App Store (US) 4.2/5 from 1,042 ratings. App-based service covers 72.5% of the casual dating brands in this ranking, so a phone is the normal way in and the app is the surface where the service is judged.
What support can I get if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on email and help centre, so questions are handled in writing rather than by phone. A written route takes longer than a call but leaves a record of the exchange, which matters for renewal or refund disputes. Refunds are ruled out once a pack has been used: Auto-renews; cancel in store settings; no refund once used.
Who runs the service and where is it based?+
The operator is Affinity Square US Inc., registered in the US, and the same legal entity is named in the terms of use. It is the party to contact about a charge, a renewal or a data request, through the email and help centre route described in the terms.
