The Best Vegan Dating Sites and Apps
The best vegan dating site depends on where you live and what you want. In the UK and the USA, the main options are Just Vegan Dating, Veggly, Grazer, Green Singles and VeggieDate, plus general apps such as Tinder with a plant-based tag. Here is who each one suits.
By the Just Vegan Dating team
In short
- The best site is the one with people near you who want what you want.
- Veggly and Grazer are apps; Green Singles, VeggieDate and Just Vegan Dating are sites you can use on a phone.
- General apps have the most people but no real vegan filter.
- Most have free accounts: try two and keep the one where you reply.
There is no single best vegan dating app for everyone. A big international app is no use if nobody on it lives within an hour of you, and a small site is no use if it does not suit how you like to meet people. The table below sets out the options people search for most, what each is built for and how you use it.
| Service | Built for | How you use it | Stands out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Just Vegan Dating | Vegan singles in the UK and the USA who want a relationship | Browser, or as an app on a phone | Daily matches near you, free ID checks, 24-hour support, mostly over 35 |
| Veggly | Vegans and vegetarians anywhere | iPhone and Android, web in beta | International swipe app, diet filter |
| Grazer | Vegans, vegetarians and plant-based people | iPhone and Android | UK-founded, dates and friends, like a part of a profile |
| Green Singles | Vegetarian, vegan, eco and spiritual singles | Website | Long-running, US-centred, events through its network |
| VeggieDate | Every kind of veggie eater | Website | Running since 1999, love, friends and activity partners |
| Veggie Connection | Vegetarians, vegans, raw and macrobiotic eaters | Website | Running since 2003, messaging free |
| Tinder | Everyone | iPhone, Android and web | Biggest pool, Plant-Based interest tag |
How we chose
We looked at the vegan and vegetarian dating services people in the UK and the USA actually search for, checked each one's own website and app listings, and left out anything we could not confirm. We do not quote other services' prices, because those change and differ by country, and we do not link to them. We have put ourselves first because this is our site, but each entry says honestly who that service suits.
Just Vegan Dating
Our own site: vegan dating for Britain and America, on a computer or a phone. Each day it suggests vegan singles near you, and free members can send a limited number of messages every day. ID checks are free, a human support team is there 24 hours a day, and the crowd is older than most apps: more than half of members are 45 or over. Best for people who want a relationship rather than a swipe. See how it works.
Veggly
A Brazilian-born swiping app, launched in 2018 and now offered in several languages to vegetarians and vegans worldwide. Profiles say whether you are vegan, vegetarian or transitioning, and you can filter by diet. Best for people who like the pace of a swipe app and are happy to match across a wide area. Our Veggly comparison has more.
Grazer
A UK-founded app for vegans, vegetarians and the plant-based community, with a Friends mode alongside Dates. Instead of swiping, you like a specific photo, answer or badge. Filtering by diet is part of its Premium tier. Best for people who want friends and dates in one place. See Just Vegan Dating vs Grazer.
Green Singles
A long-running website for vegetarian, vegan, eco-conscious and spiritually minded singles, mostly used in the USA, with events and retreats through its network. Best for people whose ideal match is broadly green rather than strictly vegan. See our Green Singles comparison.
VeggieDate and Veggie Connection
Two long-standing websites that take in every kind of veggie diet, from vegan to pescatarian. VeggieDate has run since 1999 and Veggie Connection since 2003, and both cover friendship and activity partners as well as love. Vegan Passions is a smaller free site in the same tradition. Best for people who want the widest veggie net. See Just Vegan Dating vs VeggieDate.
General apps: Tinder, Hinge and Bumble
The big general apps have the most people, but there your diet is something you mention, not something the app is built around. Tinder added a Plant-Based interest in 2021. If you use them, put it in your profile clearly and expect to do more filtering yourself. Our Tinder comparison goes into it.
Ones that have closed
VegPal, a vegan friends and dating app launched in 2021, has closed: its app listings are gone. If you see it in an older list, skip it.
How to choose
Ask three questions. Where are the people? Pick a service with members near you. How do you like to meet? Swipe apps are quick; daily matches and longer profiles suit people who like to read before they write. What is free? Most let you start without paying, so join two, see who is near you, and keep the one where you actually want to reply.
