WhatsYourPrice is Seeking's sister site, from the same company. Its gimmick is an auction for a first date: "generous" members offer a sum, "attractive" members accept, reject or counter, and then the generous member pays credits to unlock messaging. The site says it doesn't handle the date money, which the two people settle between themselves, and claims the average offer is about $120.

Paying for someone's time on a date is legal. Paying for sex is not, and a price agreed in writing before two strangers meet is exactly the kind of record our legal guide warns about. Keep the offer about the date. Verification is decent: a free selfie badge, and an ID check for $4.99.

Trustpilot reviewers gave it 1.7 out of 5, including reports of people asking for money before a date ever happens. That is the scam pattern in our scam guide, not a negotiation.

The facts

What it costs (and who pays)

"Generous" members make a cash offer for a first date; "attractive" members accept, reject or counter. Once an offer is accepted the generous member spends credits to unlock messaging, and the offer itself is paid between the two people: the site says it "does not assist in the exchange of payment". It claims the average offer is about $120. No credit prices are published; DatingScout, a third-party review site, listed 100 credits at $50, 500 at $150 and 1,000 at $250 (Oct 2026). All purchases are final outside the EU, EEA and UK.^[1][2][3]

Who's on it

Members must be 18. The homepage claims "over 6.6 million members", citing November 2024 figures; that is its own number. Brandon Wade, Seeking's founder, launched it in 2007 according to Wikipedia. Paying for a date with someone is legal; paying for sex is not, and nothing about the bidding model changes that.^[4][5]

Verification & safety

A free live-selfie check earns a gold "Selfie Verified" badge. A blue "ID Verified" badge uses a selfie plus government ID, checked by Au10tix, for $4.99 per its FAQ. An optional paid third-party background check is also offered; the site says it "does not conduct routine criminal background screenings".^[1][2]

Privacy record

The privacy policy (effective Jan 1, 2026) says it does "not share, sell, or give away" personal data, apart from service providers, promotion partners, affiliates, legal requests and targeted advertising, which you can opt out of. Accounts inactive for 365 days are deleted. Selfie biometrics are stored separately and sent to a third-party AI provider for verification. Have I Been Pwned lists no breach (checked Nov 2026).^[6][7]

Scams & regulators

Trustpilot showed 1.7 out of 5 from 106 reviews in Nov 2026; complaints include fake profiles, people asking for money before a date, credits spent on members who never reply, and renewals at higher prices. The BBB profile for Reflex Media, which lists WhatsYourPrice among its names, was "Not Rated" with 47 complaints in three years. We found no regulator action.^[8][9]
