Yes, you can do cougar dating free on Local Cougars. Joining is free, browsing is free, your daily matches are free, and free members can send a number of messages every day and reply to paid members at any time. The free account never runs out, so you can find out whether you click with someone before you decide anything.

What the free account includes

  • A full profile with photos, a bio and what you are looking for.
  • Browsing members and fresh match suggestions near you every day.
  • A set number of messages each day, plus replies to any VIP or VIP Plus member.
  • Posting to the members' feed, comments, polls and quizzes.
  • A free ID check or video check and a verified badge.

A VIP membership removes the daily message limit and adds advanced search, members-only chat rooms, group chats and a list of everyone who likes you. VIP Plus puts your profile at the top of other members' daily matches. Our pricing page lists every plan, and you can cancel from your account whenever you like.

Cougar dating without payment: how far can you go?

Further than on most sites. On many dating sites a free account lets you look but not talk. On Local Cougars, men and women alike can send messages free every day, and women in particular often find they never need more, because the men message them. Plenty of members meet someone on a free account. If you find yourself wanting to talk to more people at once, that is when a paid plan makes sense.

Be wary of "totally free" cougar sites

Search for free cougar dating and you will find plenty of sites that promise everything free. Ask how they pay for moderation, support and security. Some fill their pages with profiles that do not reply, some sell your data, and some are fronts for scams. Here, real members can prove it with a free ID or video check and wear a verified badge, every upload is screened, and real people answer support day and night.
