Site or app: which suits you
Christian Love vs SALT
A marriage-minded Christian dating site beside a swipe-style app. Facts checked 13 October 2026.
Your age and your pace decide it
SALT is a free-to-match Christian dating app, launched in the UK and aimed at younger Christians, where both people must like each other before they can chat. Christian Love is a Christian dating site, running since 2007, for marriage-minded singles who are mostly aged 35 to 54. If you are in your twenties and love an app, try SALT. If you want marriage, look here.
Both welcome Christians from every church family. The difference is in who you are likely to meet and how the first hello happens.
What SALT gets right
SALT was built app first for Millennials and Gen Z, and it feels that way. You sign up with Apple, Facebook, Google or an email address, add photos and answer profile questions, then set the ages and distance you are open to. When two people like each other, they can start talking. That mutual like means you only hear from people you have liked back.
It has a warm reputation among its users. On the UK App Store on 13 October 2026, the iPhone app was rated 4.2 out of 5 from about 3,200 ratings and had been updated a day earlier. There is an Android app too.
SALT started in Britain and is now used well beyond it. It has also met people face to face: in February 2019 it ran a Christian speed-dating event that featured on BBC Songs of Praise.
And it is generous on the basics. Matching and chatting are free, with SALT Premium there for people who want more.

Why grown-up Christian singles choose Christian Love
- You meet people at your stage of life. Most of our members are aged 35 to 54. If you are older still, read about Christian dating over 50.
- Faith is part of the match. Daily suggestions weigh religious beliefs and moral compatibility, as well as age, place, lifestyle and the relationship you want.
- You can tell who is real. A free ID check puts a verified badge on a profile. Our safety page explains the rest.
- Marriage is the point. Since 2007 Christian Love has existed for one purpose: love that leads to the altar.
- Nothing to download. It runs in the browser on your phone, and once saved to your home screen it behaves like an app. See how the Christian Love dating app works.
Find the one that fits how you date
SALT may suit you if you are in your twenties or early thirties, you are happy swiping on an app, and you like the comfort of only hearing from people you have liked back.
Christian Love may suit you if you would rather read a full profile than swipe, you want to talk about faith and marriage early, and you hope to meet people closer to your own season of life. A thoughtful profile helps on either service, and our Christian dating profile tips show how to write one.
