Who each site is for
SDC serves the wider swinging lifestyle, with couples and singles looking for all kinds of connections, including hotwifing and cuckolding. Unicorn Finder has one purpose: couples and the single unicorns looking for them. That focus changes the experience. Here you do not have to explain what you are looking for or sift through profiles that want something else.
How couples join
On Unicorn Finder you join as a couple and say exactly what you want, whether that is a threesome, a throuple, a soft swap or something more. Single unicorns find couples who are actively looking for them. On a broader site, a unicorn is one of many kinds of member. Here, a unicorn is the person couples came to meet.
Where you can use it
SDC is on the web and in the iPhone and Android app stores. Unicorn Finder works in any desktop or laptop browser, as a mobile web app you can add to your phone’s home screen, and as iPhone and Android apps in selected markets. You can also see some of our members before you sign up, with couples and singles to browse state by state across the US.
Cost
Both are free to join. SDC lists different prices by member type on the App Store, from $26.99 to $164.99 depending on length. On Unicorn Finder, Classic is free, and VIP is the same price for everyone, from $21.39 a month on the 6-month plan. VIP adds unrestricted messaging, advanced search, exclusive chat rooms, group chats and seeing who likes you. VIP Plus adds exclusive matches and puts your messages and likes first, from $25.67 a month on the 6-month plan.
Privacy and discretion
On Unicorn Finder you control everything on your profile. We never display members’ personal details and never share your information with third parties. Paid memberships appear on your bank statement as a non-descript transaction, not the name of the site. ID verification is free, and if you would rather not share ID, a member of our team can review and approve your profile instead. Our support team is available 24/7.
Where SDC has advantages
SDC has been running since 1999 and describes itself as the world’s largest swinging lifestyle community. It offers event listings, a travel calendar and a business directory, and its iPhone app is rated 4.6 out of 5 from about 13,000 ratings.
That breadth is the trade-off. A site built for the whole lifestyle is built for everyone, so you spend more time working out who wants what. On Unicorn Finder, couples and unicorns already know why they are here, so a hello gets a real answer.
