A free, multi-denomination Christian dating and community app for meeting other believers.
Our verdict
SALT is a newer, UK-born Christian dating app that has earned attention from outlets like Vogue, GQ, and the BBC, and it strikes an appealing middle ground. It pairs modern design with a genuinely multi-denominational approach, and, refreshingly, most core features are free to use. Detailed denomination filters spanning Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, Pentecostal, Orthodox, and many more let you be specific about faith background in a way broader apps do not.
What holds SALT back today is scale, especially in the United States. With a growing base of over a million singles worldwide, matches can feel plentiful in the UK and thinner in smaller American markets, so your experience depends heavily on location. A SALT Premium tier exists and can get pricey on shorter plans, but unlike subscription-first competitors, you are not paywalled out of messaging just to get started.
SALT is a strong pick for Christians who want a thoughtful, faith-forward app without an immediate subscription and who value denominational nuance. If you need the deepest possible local dating pool right now, a larger app may serve you better while SALT continues to grow.
