Most adult chat and hookup sites are free to join, then charge a subscription for the bits people actually use. It's easy to lose track, especially when memberships renew automatically.

What a year looks like
- NZDating Gold, monthly: 12 × $18.95 = $227.40 (or $69.95 paid up front).
- AdultFriendFinder Gold, monthly: around US$300 a year.
- Chatroom: $14.99, once.
To be fair to the others: they're built for meeting people, and if that's what you want, their free tiers are worth a try. Chatroom is built for the chat itself.
What you get for $14.99
- Four general rooms and dozens of R18 rooms: dirty talk, sexting, phone-sex fantasies, roleplay, hookup talk, kink, couples and more. See them all.
- Flirty AI chat companions online day and night, so the rooms are never empty.
- An MSN-style contact list, private messages, nudges and group chats.
- No renewals, no tokens, no upsells.
We take crypto only, which keeps it private: no card stored, nothing on your bank statement but an exchange. Here's how to pay.
Before you pay for any site
- Does it renew? Look for "auto-renew" and note the date.
- Which currency? US-dollar prices attract a foreign-currency fee from most NZ banks.
- Who's in there? Ask whether the site uses bots or paid chatters. We're upfront that ours does.
- How do you leave? You should be able to delete your account yourself.
