Pros and cons
Pros
- A free account covers a profile, messaging and browsing, so the audience can be judged before any payment.
- Photo and ID checks are offered, which gives members a filter beyond photos alone.
- Plans are a free tier and a monthly Premium tier, so there is no annual term to weigh up.
- Canceling goes through round the clock email or live support, so ending a subscription takes a single message.
- A defined audience of More than 190,000 members keeps replies inside one community rather than a general pool.
Cons
- Premium costs $28.95 a month, above €14, the site median, and above €20.65, the upper quartile for a starting monthly price.
- The privacy terms make your profile public and share a hashed email with advertisers, so an address you use elsewhere is exposed.
- App Store feedback is a weak spot at App Store (US) 3.1/5 from 188 ratings, so the user side of the experience is not well proven.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so there is no phone line for a billing dispute.
Who it suits
- Adults who want a usable free account with messaging and browsing before deciding on Premium.
- Members who want a pool focused on African singles worldwide and serious relationships.
- People who want photo and ID checks available on request rather than photos alone.
Who should look elsewhere
- Price-first readers: Findom.com starts at $0.09 a month, a fraction of $28.95 here.
- Readers looking for a senior audience: Senior.dk Dating starts at DKK 2.30 a month and is built for a different market than African singles worldwide.
Members and plans
TrulyAfrican puts its pool at More than 190,000 members and describes its audience as African singles worldwide seeking serious relationships. Both details matter before a purchase: the audience is defined rather than general, and the stated intent is a relationship rather than a passing match. Plans are a free tier and a Premium tier on monthly billing, so the free side and the paid side sit in the same app with no extra level between them. Readers who want a broad pool would be better served by a general market app; readers who want a defined community are the ones this pool suits.
Pricing and free tier
Pricing is a free tier plus a monthly Premium tier, and the paid entry point is $28.95 a month. The free side is not a stub: a free account covers a profile, messaging and browsing, which is enough to judge the pool before spending. For scale, the median starting monthly price on the site is €14 and the upper quartile is €20.65, and this entry point sits above both, so it falls in the costly part of the field on that measure. Monthly billing with no annual option keeps the commitment small.
Who runs it
The app stores name ROMETIC PTE. LTD. as the operator, registered in Singapore, and the service has been running since 2009, so this is an established publisher rather than a new one. Support covers email, chat and help centre, which means a help centre for self service and a live route when a billing question needs a person. The practical point for readers who weigh privacy and billing is that a single named company stands behind the app and every support route above is run by that operator.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Premium cost a month?+
Premium starts at $28.95 a month, billed monthly, and the free tier is separate from it. The plan names are a free tier and a single monthly Premium tier, so the paid price is the only number a reader has to weigh. For scale, the median starting monthly price across the site is €14.
What do I get without paying?+
A free account covers a profile, messaging and browsing. That is the whole of the free side as described, and it is enough to judge the audience before paying $28.95 a month. Anything beyond that sits behind Premium, and the plan names are a free tier and a monthly Premium tier with no middle level listed.
Is there an app, and how is it rated?+
The service is app only, and the store rating is App Store (US) 3.1/5 from 188 ratings. That is a modest score, so the user feedback is worth reading before you install. The service describes no desktop or web version, which matters if you prefer browsing on a laptop rather than a phone.
Are profiles checked?+
Photo and ID checks are offered, so members can ask for a checked profile rather than relying on photos alone. The wording presents checks as available on request rather than a condition of joining. The pool they apply to is More than 190,000 members, so what a check is worth depends on how large the audience is.
What happens to my profile and email?+
The privacy terms make your profile public and share a hashed email with advertisers, so a separate inbox address is the safer choice. With More than 190,000 members on the books, a public profile is a real trade-off to weigh, and account questions go through email, chat and help centre.
How do I cancel?+
Canceling is a support request: round the clock email or live support, and the same route handles billing questions. Plans are monthly, so there is no annual term to run out before a change takes effect. Support runs on email, chat and help centre, so a cancellation message and a help centre article cover the process.
Who is it aimed at?+
The stated audience is African singles worldwide looking for serious relationships, and the site puts the pool at More than 190,000 members. That is a defined audience rather than the general market, and it suits readers who want replies from a specific community. If your search is broader, the free account lets you look before you pay.
Who runs the service?+
The app stores name ROMETIC PTE. LTD. as the operator, registered in Singapore, and the service has been running since 2009. Support covers email, chat and help centre, so a billing or account question goes to the company itself and a cancellation request can be sent at any hour.
