Our verdict
Mamba suits adults who want a broad, app-only singles service and are comfortable paying as they go rather than on one flat fee. Its monthly entry point of $2.99 ranks 17 of 126 brands, and the coin and per-message layer means casual browsing can still cost nothing.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The app costs nothing to download, with a short list of paid extras: App free; profile boost, hide and gifts paid.
- Its App Store rating in the US is App Store (US) 4.5/5 from 30,410 ratings.
- Verification ships with the product: Verified-photo filter; anti-fraud profile blocking.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so email is not the only route.
- A long operating record: Media Solutions, LLC has run the service since 2002.
Cons
- Spending is not covered by one monthly fee, because payments use Coins and per-message rate payments, so coins add to the $2.99 entry point.
- The $2.99 entry point is well above Findom.com at $0.09.
- The app tracks purchases, identifiers and diagnostics per Tracks purchases, identifiers, diagnostics, so ordinary use still leaves a purchase trail.
- Subscriptions auto-renew and the unsubscribe route given is account settings: Auto-renews; unsubscribe in account settings.
Who it suits
- Adults who want a general singles audience, since Mamba is aimed at Singles worldwide, all genders and orientations.
- Readers who want verification in the product rather than sold separately: Verified-photo filter; anti-fraud profile blocking.
- People who want phone support as well as email, since support runs on email, phone and help centre.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers counting the smallest outlay: Findom.com starts at $0.09.
- People who want a themed community instead of a general singles feed: BDSM-baari, €0.83 to €2.50.
Billing and cancelling
Paid status auto-renews, and the unsubscribe control sits in account settings: Auto-renews; unsubscribe in account settings. The listed terms set out no notice period and no refund promise, so the renewal date is the point to watch before a term ends. On data, the app says it tracks purchases, identifiers and diagnostics per Tracks purchases, identifiers, diagnostics. Purchases sit alongside identifier and diagnostics data rather than being treated separately, which fits a service where coins and status are bought inside the app.
Using the service
The audience is Singles worldwide, all genders and orientations, so the feed is general rather than aimed at one group. Mamba states 60 million registered users (claim, undated), and that figure carries no date, so it reads as a rough sense of scale rather than a current count of active members. That breadth suits readers who want a range of options in one app instead of a curated niche, and it is the same openness that makes the audience fact the main thing to read before signing up.
Members and plans
The operator's own number is an undated claim of 60 million registered users (claim, undated), and the audience behind it is Singles worldwide, all genders and orientations. Paid status comes as VIP status: 7, 30 or 90 day subscriptions, which is the layer that changes what you can do in the app. Payments use Coins and per-message rate payments, so even members who never buy status can spend on coins and per-message rates. That split between a status subscription and per-message spending is the structural fact to hold on to when budgeting.
What is free and what costs
The entry point is $2.99 a month, which is the figure to set against other apps in this group. What is free: App free; profile boost, hide and gifts paid. The coin layer sits on top of that monthly figure, and payments run on Coins and per-message rate payments. Paid status comes as VIP status: 7, 30 or 90 day subscriptions, so a short term asks for less commitment than a long one. Taken together, a casual reader who browses can stay in the no-cost part, while anyone who replies often pays per message.
The company behind it
The operator is Media Solutions, LLC, based in Armenia, and the service has been running since 2002. That length of operation matters for a subscription product, because renewals outlive any single promotion. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a billing or account query has more than one route rather than email alone, and a long history gives readers something concrete to weigh against newer apps.
