Hi mates! I am going to start one dating site targeting my country. Which one is the most preferred dating site script? I'll like to have most sophisticated one , but price does matter. I have searched into DP and found some interesting scripts: phpFoX http://www.phpfox.com Positive: Price: $300 Negative: Poor about design and don't have Affiliate module. webDate http://www.webscribble.com Positive: Price: $199 and good design Negative: nothing so far... DZOIC http://www.dzoic.com Positive: Price: $349 Negative: Poor design and don't have Affiliate module. SkaDate http://www.skadate.com Positive: It looks really cool! Alot of cool templates and many quality options. Negative: Price: $795 PG Dating http://www.datingpro.com Positive: It looks cool! Nice templates! Negative: Price: $699 and looks very confuse... ASP Dating Site http://www.aspnetdating.com Positive: Nice templates! Negative: Price: $950 BoonEx http://www.boonex.com Positive: Almost Free! Negative: We need to pay to remove ads everywhere; Many bugs; Poor support; naaaaa Can someone help me choosing oner? If you have other to suggest, please feel free to post here.
If you have the money choose between aspnetdating, datingpro and skadate. My tip: stay way from Boonex!!
This is a really nice & helpful list, I haven't heard of many of these... why? I keep hearing this but the software's features look great
the old saying..you get what you pay for applies here... if you don't have the budget for the more expensive apps, I would try the webscribble one
i would steer clear of DZOIC and BoonEx both are very cumbersome and will end up costing you more in the long run. i have been playing around with PHPizabi (PHPizabi.net) and it's not to bad. Support is fairly non-existant, but it's not to hard to figure out...
they must be smoking crack by pricing that high, there is no way in hell I'd pay that much for a dating CMS!!
I'm still testing out dolphin, there has been some tiny improvement. Try it out : http://4mingles.com - dating / community site.
After researching dozens of dating scripts, I still was not satisfied. I was very satisfied after purchasing Abledating, the easy to use administration panel and all the different features, especially the photo ratings & comments. Very easy to organize and maintain.
Thats the truth. Avoid Abledating or AbleSpace like the plague. ABK-Soft's products are bugy, not open source, the free support they offer comes from barely litterate techs in Russia, as soon as you have a tough problem or complain to much they stop replying to you. IMPORTANT!!!!!!! They DO NOT honor their 30 day money back guarentee. I know many (including myself) who asked for and were refused a reund. DO NOT do business with ABK-Soft, you will be sorry. Dont take my word for it, go the the Better Business Bureau for loas Angeles and check the rating of ABK-Soft. They have an F rating. I switched to Dolphin 6 after being unable to get ABK-Soft to fix major issues, Dolphin is much much better. It does all I need it to do effectivly. Their are some bugz, but the Expertzzz.com site has lots of great techs that can help you or do work for a reasonable price.
check out http://boonex.com and http://expertzz.com, very nice scripts. Basic is free. You only need to pay when you want to take of their ads then. Good for a testing period.
Boonex/dolphin sucks, looks nice from the outside but then they want all kinds of money for widgets and removing their ads. I was thinking of buying ablespace til I read the posts here, guess I'll go somewhere else.
thanks, Arnie. infernal: you'll be out of luck (like me, and the rest of the community). There is no other solution as of yet
I think they found out that they have to change their attitude over at boonex and expertzzz. Not a very friendly community, but their programs/scripts are one of the most promising. I have installed the scripts, not tested extensively though but it works so far, - great.
Hi I can suggest a couple of dating CMS': webmaster.dating.lt(completely free but have to share revenue with the hosting company) and datingsitebuilder.com($50 a month but has more expensive plans as well) - we have a site with them: http://www.gofishdating.com good luck
