There is a website, a mobile site and two apps, and its App Store listing shows 32 languages for the iPhone app.

What you pay for
How does each one charge?
Mingle2: free to join, with an upgrade
On 2 November 2026 its Help page promised no charge for messaging, chatting or searching. Adverts show on the free version, and the paid upgrade, MinglePlus, adds extras such as seeing who likes you, browsing unseen and hiding the adverts. It renews until cancelled, and its terms give UK subscribers a 14-day refund right.
British Sex Contact: three levels
Everyone starts on Classic with a daily message limit. VIP lifts the limit and adds filters and chat rooms; VIP Plus adds exclusive matches. Plans renew until you cancel, except the 12-month one, and cancelling means asking support or the chat bot. Costs and refunds are on the pricing page.
What does each one say about safety?
Mingle2: published rules and report tools
Mingle2 publishes a Safety Hub and a Code of Conduct. The hub covers reporting and says a team of admins watches the site around the clock; its Help page explains blocking. Any account it flags as suspicious must complete photo verification. According to its own terms, Mingle2 does not run criminal background or identity verification checks on members.
British Sex Contact: checks you can use
The ID check is optional, so a verified badge tells you a member chose to take it. A live video check with a moderator confirms identity without documents, and a staff review can add a validation badge. You go by a username, only your nearest town shows, and off-site contact alerts warn you if a chat is steered towards another app. The safety page lists every protection.
