Skip it if

  • You mind a privacy policy that says it may "sell" your data to ad networks, or you're under 20.
Visit SugarDaddyMeet

SugarDaddyMeet has run since 2007 under SuccessfulMatch.com, Inc., which also operates other niche dating sites. It is a plain subscription site: a review site listed $50 for a month and less per month on longer plans, and unusually, both sides pay the same to upgrade. Free members can reply but not start a conversation. You can cancel for a refund within three business days; after that, payments are final and the plan renews.

It is the only site here with a minimum age of 20, and its guidelines spell out a ban on "Pay Per Meet" arrangements. Verification is a selfie-based badge, and the homepage says it doesn't do background checks. The privacy policy is the weakest of the five: it says the company "may Sell Personal Information to advertising networks" and shares data across its other dating sites.

Trustpilot reviewers gave it 1.5 out of 5, mostly over fake profiles and renewal prices. The site also turned up in a 2019 federal case, where a lawyer who met a woman there pleaded guilty to a prostitution charge; our legal guide covers it.

The facts

What it costs (and who pays)
A subscription paid 1, 3 or 6 months ahead that renews automatically; you can cancel for a refund within three business days, after which payments are final, per its service agreement. The site publishes no prices. DatingScout, a third-party review site, listed $50 for one month, $90 for three and $144 for six (Oct 2026), and said sugar daddies and sugar babies pay the same; free members can reply to messages but not start one. Some 2026 Trustpilot reviewers reported much higher renewal prices; the company replied that pricing varies by region.[1][2][3]
Who's on it
The minimum age is 20, not 18. The homepage claims "10 million+" members, 2.4 million men and 7.5 million women, while the same page also says "hundreds of thousands of singles"; both are its own figures. Its community guidelines ban "monetary exchange or compensation", including "Pay Per Meet".[4][5]
Verification & safety
A third-party "Verified" badge uses a selfie-based photo check, not available to everyone. Top-tier ("Chairman") members can opt in to having their own details checked by third parties, with no guarantee of accuracy. The homepage says the company "does not conduct background checks". There is a profile report menu, a "Quick Exit" button, and the guidelines say child-safety reports go to NCMEC.[1][5]
Privacy record
The privacy policy (May 12, 2026) says the company "may Sell Personal Information to advertising networks", marking identifiers, purchase data, browsing activity and geolocation as sold or shared (biometrics are not). It shares data with its other dating sites, collects biometrics for photo checks, and keeps data "as long as necessary" with no fixed period. Have I Been Pwned lists no breach (checked Nov 2026).[6][7]
Scams & regulators
Trustpilot showed 1.5 out of 5 from 73 reviews in Nov 2026, mostly about fake profiles, price rises and billing. In 2019 a San Diego lawyer pleaded guilty to a federal prostitution charge after meeting a woman on the site, per the ABA Journal (the site was not accused of wrongdoing). In 2020 Seeking's owner sued SuccessfulMatch for trademark infringement; we did not find the outcome. Disputes go to private arbitration with a class-action waiver.[3][8][9]
