WellHello.com isn’t what it seems.
You deserve the full story, and this review delivers. No BS. No sugar-coating. Just facts.
I break down everything from their homepage gimmicks to the underhanded tricks they hope you miss.
The best part? Proof straight from their very own website that exposes the whole thing.
It’s time to pull back the curtain and let the truth shine in. Let’s get started.
The Fast Facts: WellHello’s Fake User Scam Torpedoes Its Credibility
As you’d expect, what with being on a WellHello review and all, the nuts and bolts of our little endeavor here is to pick apart WellHello.
But before getting into that quagmire of disappointment, I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t show you how WellHello stacks up against a legit heavyweight like Adult FriendFinder.
And trust me when I tell you, the results are more tragedy than comedy.
WellHello is basically the online dating site equivalent of gas station sushi.
Looks good at first. Ends in regret.
At the end of the day, it comes down to this…
Whatever bells and whistles WellHello claims to offer are rendered absolutely inconsequential by the creation and use of their fake profiles.
It’s literally a masterclass in how not to build trust.

My Recommendation: Don’t Play WellHello’s Games When You Can Score with AFF
Nothing screams “trustworthy” like a platform teeming with fake users, am I right?
I’m being sarcastic, of course. WellHello is a gong show.
Like, if you’re into playing “Where’s Waldo”, where Waldo is supposed to be a genuine human and doesn’t actually exist, then by all means, sign up.
But if you’re someone who’s looking for actual connections, steer clear of this hot mess. The “too good to be true” profiles run rampant.
via Tenor
In the grand scheme of online dating debauchery, WellHello’s questionable (to put it mildly) practices disqualify it as anything worthy of your time and attention.
Joining WellHello is like thinking you’re going to a party filled with hot models, only to find it filled with literal hot garbage instead. No, thank you.
As you can probably tell by now, the main issue with WellHello is its lack of authenticity.
Trying to find a real connection amidst the sea of fake profiles is like searching for a needle in a haystack—except the needle doesn’t actually exist, and all the hay is disguised as needles. Not exactly the ideal dating scenario.
Why put yourself through that when you don’t have to?
This is where AFF comes in.
via Giphy
With tons of genuine users and a reputation for facilitating actual humans hooking up with other humans, AFF is legit. See for yourself.
Want more options? Check out our Find Dates page for other legitimate alternatives.
As far as I’m concerned, the fake profiles alone are more than enough reason to deem WellHello a non-contender. (The overall sketchiness is just gross icing on a gross cake.)
But that’s me, and you’re you.
So, if you’re someone who needs to see how the laundry actually got dirty, feel free to read on. Details of the dirt await.
Not Your Average, Everyday Reviews
Dating sites are everywhere, and so are dating site reviews. But here’s the thing: most review sites miss the mark. They’re packed with outdated info, incorrect facts, or flat-out fabrications.
Worst of all, the most critical questions often go unanswered: Is the site legit? Do they deliver what they promise? Are the users a site claims to have actually real?
If the answer to any of these questions is no, literally nothing else matters. Full stop. That site is not worth even a second of your time.
A review should tell you this.
And that’s how our reviews are different. Instead of just taking a dating site’s word for it—or worse, painting a site as fantastic just to get you to sign up (this happens a ton, by the way)—we dig deep into the details and figure out if it’s worth a look in the first place. We investigate.
By scrutinizing the “fine print” and taking the plunge with free trials—so you don’t have to—we determine if it’s worth it for you to sign up and check it out on your own, or if you’re better off just moving on.
The reality is, most of the time, it’s a hard pass. And because our conclusions are based on actual, you know, facts, we’re more than happy to tell you so. Like a review should.
First Things First, What Is WellHello?
Well, considering you’re here reading this review, you probably have a pretty good idea about what WellHello is, but, understandably, you still have some questions.
According to WellHello.com, they are an online adult community for singles and couples interested in meeting other singles and couples for dating, hookups, or swinging.
In other words, WellHello wants us to believe they are a typical adult dating site.
via Giphy
Skeptical? I don’t blame you.
There’s definitely more going on at WellHello than meets the eye.
First Impression: About What You’d Expect
When you land on the WellHello homepage, everything looks like about what you’d expect. There are profile pics of who we’re to believe are members, a little blurb about the site, a few “testimonials”, a note about being able to access the site from both your desktop and mobile devices, and a sign up form.
They also try to up the legitimacy factor by having pics of both women and men (mostly women, of course), all with their clothes on.
I understand this sounds kinda funny, but seriously, so many of these “adult dating sites” have nothing but naked women plastered all over the front page, it’s a bit of a novelty that WellHello doesn’t.
The bottom area of the site is also pretty status quo and sports a few typical links. Notably, that’s where you can get to their contact page, their privacy policy, and their terms and conditions page.
The whole thing does have a pretty legit feel to it, but we’ll learn soon enough that this is most definitely not the case.
Before You Click Join Free On The Sign Up Form…
The sign up form on WellHello is pretty standard fare for any dating site that caters to the adult side of things.
Basically, what that means is that in addition to being able to sign up as a man or a woman, the option to sign up as a couple is present as well.
Along with choosing whether you’re signing up as a male, female, or couple, you’d also need to enter an email address, a password, your age (18+ of course), and your ZIP Code.
Technically, once all that is entered, you can hit the “Join Free” button to, you know, join for free.
But before you do…
Did you notice the following text?
By clicking ‘Join Free’ you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy including use of cookies and to receive newsletters, account updates and offers sent by WellHello.
If you take a good look at that block of text on the site, you’ll notice the words “Terms” and “Privacy Policy” are links.
Did you click the link to the Privacy Policy?
Far more importantly, did you click the link to the Terms?
Now the even bigger question…
If you did click those links, did you actually read those pages?
Because if you didn’t, you’re in for a world of hurt.
Introducing The Terms And Conditions, aka Where The Bodies Are Buried!
So, it probably didn’t cross your mind that a seemingly legitimate dating site would try and scam you out of your hard-earned cash.
Seriously, why would you think that you had to read the terms and conditions of a simple online dating site just to make sure you weren’t about to get conned.
Aren’t the terms just a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo that just kinda has to be there?
I mean, yeah yeah, you “should” always read that stuff, but shouldn’t you be able to trust that a business is what it says it is?
The answer is yes.
You absolutely should be able to trust that a business is what it says it is.
Trouble is, in this case, you can’t.
See, in amongst the usual legal jargon, they also slide in the scammy stuff they’re doing. Like, if they use fake profiles, for instance (a little foreshadowing there for you).
Why would they do this, you ask? Why would they tell you about the scams they’re pulling?
For exactly one reason:
To cover their ass.
via Giphy
Let’s be crystal clear here:
They are absolutely not disclosing the shady stuff they do out of the goodness of their heart. They are only disclosing that stuff to cover their own ass. Period.
Rest assured, if they could get away with not saying a peep about their tricks, they would keep their traps shut.
But here’s the key to the whole operation…
Even though they spell out their underhanded tricks on their terms page, people keep on signing up.
Why?
Because shady dating sites like WellHello know—hell, they count on the fact—that most people don’t actually read the “fine print”.
They know that people are going to just zip on by and check the little “Yes, I read your blah” box and hit that “Join” button without having the tiniest clue about what they’re actually getting themselves into.
via Tenor
It’s really that simple.
It’s slimy and it’s gross and it’s, unfortunately, the way the majority of adult dating sites operate.
And it’s exactly the reason why the terms and conditions page is the most important page on a dating site.
It’s the one place that you possibly have a chance at finding out the truth about a website.
Speaking Of The Truth, Here It Is
When it comes to dating sites, there is, ultimately, one goal in mind: to meet someone.
Want to meet a man? A woman? A couple?
Looking to date? Find hookups? A serious relationship?
The specifics don’t matter. Those details are only relevant to the individual.
But what does matter to everybody that lands on a dating site is that they have an actual legitimate chance to make a connection and meet another person.
via Giphy
And that’s how it should be.
Knowing this, it stands to reason that any website that presents itself as a dating site but actively and purposefully deceives its users should not be looked at as a legitimate option for meeting someone.
via Tenor
Which brings us to WellHello.
I told you in the intro to this review that I’d show you proof from WellHello’s own website that exposes their shady practices. Well, here it is (highlights are mine):
Last but not least, you expressly understand, acknowledge and agree that the Site may create and maintain some AI profiles on the Site in order to keep a continuous level of interactions during low attendance hours. Indeed, some Users of the Site may actually be created by the Company and, therefore, the information, text, and pictures contained in these AI profiles do not pertain to any actual person, but may be included for entertainment and educational purposes only (life events, experiences, interests, and geographic locations are all fictitious and nothing contained in any such company-managed profiles or messages is intended to describe or resemble any real person – living or dead). Any similarity between company-managed profile descriptions or images and any person is purely coincidental. Messages sent from our company-managed profiles may be automatically generated with no human involvement, and/or may be generated by third parties hired or contracted by us. You expressly authorize the Company to utilize such profiles in order to enhance your experience on the Site, collect data regarding User preferences and experience, and evaluate User compliance with our Terms. Please note that such company-managed profiles are identified by a green dot containing a white heart icon.
The above paragraph is from WellHello’s own Terms of Use. It is the most important, and most damning, bit of info on their whole site.
It basically boils down to this: WellHello creates fake profiles, and by using the site, you’re saying that you’re okay with that.
As far as I’m concerned, that right there tells you everything you need to know about them. (And it ain’t good.)
One Bad Apple Really Can Spoil The Bunch
Are there other questionable things that WellHello does?
via Giphy
Sure.
They have ad links mixed in with their navigation. They have a predatory 24 hour $1 trial membership that re-bills automatically at a bonkers $42.48 per month if you don’t cancel within the trial period. Their search function is a farce. (Wow! Literally everybody on the site is within 10 miles of me! What a coincidence!) And on and on it goes.
Does any of that matter?
It does, in the way a fire in a dumpster tells you that the dumpster is on fire. Bad stuff, after all, is bad.
But overall?
Nope. Not in my opinion. Not compared to the “one bad apple” that I showed you above. And I’ll tell you why.
Any site that resorts to creating, maintaining, and actively utilizing fake members should not be trusted. Plain and simple.
Whatever other shady stuff they’re doing is pretty much irrelevant compared to that.
Let’s Break Down The Shakedown
“But, but, they tell you which profiles are fake!”
Um, yeah. Sure, that is true. They do tell you which profiles are fake.
Please note that such company-managed profiles are identified by a green dot containing a white heart icon.
The problem is, if you didn’t read the terms—which, as we’ve already established, is exactly what WellHello counts on—you’d have no idea that this was the case.
“But, but, you’re supposed to read the terms!”
via Giphy
Yes, you are.
But that doesn’t make what WellHello is doing here, or how they’re doing it, any more ethical.
via Giphy
Now the even worse part.
I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that I have clicked on countless profiles and the vast majority of them had the green dot with the white heart.
Simply put, that means there are far more fake, created-by-WellHello members on the site than there are (supposedly) real members.
I say “supposedly” here because nearly all of the few profiles that I did see that had a solid green dot—which I’m assuming means that member is supposed to exist and is actually online, but who knows?—instead of the one with the heart in it, looked more fake than the fake ones. Are they fake too? I couldn’t say for sure. But they sure didn’t seem like the profiles of real members to me.
In light of all that, what chance do you have at finding an actual human in that mess?
Not a good one, I’ll tell you that.
Oh, and to add insult to injury, that little green dot with the white heart icon that they’re talking about? It is always right next to the word “Online” on every profile that it appears on.
That placement is not done by accident. It is absolutely done to make it seem like that “member” is online.
And while I suppose they technically are online—since, you know, they’re robots—the fact remains that those profiles that WellHello is using to entice someone to upgrade—to pay them with their actual hard-earned money—are not real humans.
WellHello literally wants you to give them money for the privilege of being able to communicate with “people” that don’t actually exist.
Let me say that again so we’re extra clear on this.
WellHello wants you to pay money to be able to interact with members that they’ve created that you will never be able to actually meet because they do not actually exist.
That is ludicrous.
Now, is it possible that you could meet a real-life actual human on their site?
Sure?
I mean, just about anything is possible. People get hit by lightning, they find the needle in the haystack, and so on.
But, in my opinion, “possible”—as in, there isn’t a literal 0% chance—isn’t a good enough reason to spend your time and money on a “dating site” that has so clearly stacked the odds against you.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Real Way To Say Goodbye To WellHello (Current as of 2025)
So, you got sucked in and find yourself with a WellHello account. Free or paid, there’s no judgement here. I totally get it, and I feel for you.
WellHello may be super shady, but make no mistake, they’re definitely good at enticing people to join their site. Trust me when I tell you that you aren’t the first, and you certainly won’t be the last to fall for their dirty tricks.
That said, obviously you’ve seen the light and here you are. It’s time to get the hell out of there.
For as simple as WellHello makes it to sign up to their site, they do the exact opposite when you want to cancel your account.
There are two tiers of accounts on WellHello. The free tier (your “account”) and the paid tier (your “membership”). And, of course, since we’re talking about WellHello here and why on earth would they make things easy for anybody, they each require their own cancellation request.
I’ve got you covered though. Just follow the steps below and you can put WellHello in your rearview for good.
How To Cancel Your WellHello Membership
As mentioned above, when we’re talking about canceling your WellHello membership, we’re talking about a paid account.
Of course, you can’t have a paid account without having first had a free account, but in order to completely remove yourself from their clutches, you’ll have to deal with each tier separately.
I want to add here that while it may be possible to get WellHello to cancel your membership and delete your profile from the same request email (this is not totally clear from anything I could find on their site), I prefer the separate request approach. This way nothing is missed and you can be certain they actually do what you want them to do.
Alright, first things first, let’s stop burning cash and cancel that subscription.
There are two ways to go about deactivating your WellHello membership: via email or via their contact form.
In both instances you’ll be requesting the same thing and providing the same information, so it doesn’t particularly matter which route you choose.
I’ll detail the steps for canceling via the contact form on their website first.
Cancel Your WellHello Membership via WellHello’s Contact Form
- Log into your WellHello account.
- Go to the Contact Us page via the link located at the bottom of the page.
- At the top of the Contact Us page, underneath where it says “Contact Us”, are the words “FAQ” and “Form”. Click on the word “Form”.
- The first field that appears in the form is labeled “Problem”. It’s a dropdown menu. Click the arrow on the right side of the field and select “Membership Cancellation” from the list of options.
- Once “Membership Cancellation” has been selected, a new field will appear. The new field is called “Credit Card Number (optional)”. Ignore this.
- In the next box, labeled “Describe your situation”, write a message that states that you would like to cancel your membership. Also include your name, your user name, and the email address that you use for the site. Adding that extra info may seem redundant since you’re messaging from within the site, but it’s always best to be as clear and thorough as possible.
- Fill in the “Are you human?” field with the characters from the box to the left of the field and then hit “SEND”.
Now you just have to wait for the reply from WellHello confirming that they have canceled your membership.
There’s no telling how quickly you’ll get a response, but it would be safe to assume you should hear something back within a couple days. If not, just message them again and include the fact that you’d already messaged on such and such date requesting cancellation.
To cancel your WellHello membership via email, follow these steps:
Cancel Your WellHello Membership via Email
- Address your cancellation request to [email protected].
- For the subject of the email, use some variation of “Membership Cancellation Request”.
- For the body of the message, state that you would like to cancel your membership, and include your name, your user name, and the email address that you use for the site.
- Send the email.
Once your email has been sent, just wait for their reply confirming that your membership has been canceled.
Same thing goes here as for canceling via the form. If you don’t hear back within a couple days, follow up with another email and include the fact that you’d already emailed on such and such date requesting cancellation.
Included here is the paragraph on cancellation from WellHello’s terms page (highlights are mine), just so you can see a couple other specific details that they lay out for canceling your membership. Most notably, you have to cancel at least 24 hours before the next billing cycle begins.
Cancellation. You may request the cancellation of your Premium Membership by sending us a written request within the cancellation period (“Cancellation Period”) corresponding to the cycle of your membership to ensure that you will not be charged for your next membership cycle. Please note that the Cancellation Period starts on the day of upgrade to your Premium Membership and it shall end twenty-four (24) hours before the expiration of your Premium Membership. We kindly ask you to send your request to [email protected] or through this form. Please note that cancelations are only possible with effect from the end of each membership cycle. Additionally, please note that the cancellation of your Premium Membership does not imply the unsubscription from marketing and promotional email. If you no longer wish to receive marketing and promotional emails you can contact us at [email protected].
Lastly, notice the second to last sentence from that paragraph. This is what we were talking about earlier with the two tiers thing (free vs paid). Basically, they are telling you that canceling your membership (paid tier) does not mean you deleted your account (free tier). We’ll tackle that next.
How To Delete Your WellHello Account
In order to completely remove yourself from WellHello, you need to contact them via their contact form or via email and explicitly request that they delete your account from their site.
Neither option (form or email) is more preferable over the other, so whichever you pick is fine.
Deleting your WellHello account (also referred to as deleting your profile or removing your account) is basically the same process as canceling your membership.
Let’s start with the steps for deleting your account via the contact form on their website.
Delete Your WellHello Account via WellHello’s Contact Form
- Log into your WellHello account.
- Go to the Contact Us page via the link located at the bottom of the page.
- At the top of the Contact Us page, underneath where it says “Contact Us”, are the words “FAQ” and “Form”. Click on the word “Form”.
- The first field that appears in the form is labeled “Problem”. It’s a dropdown menu. Click the arrow on the right side of the field and select “Remove Account” from the list of options.
- Once “Remove Account” has been selected, a new field will appear. The new field is called “Credit Card Number (optional)”. Ignore this.
- In the next box, labeled “Describe your situation”, write a message that states that you would like them to remove your account effective immediately. Also include your name, your user name, and the email address that you use for the site.
- Fill in the “Are you human?” field with the characters from the box to the left of the field and then hit “SEND”.
Sometime in the next 48 hours, you should receive a reply from WellHello confirming that they have deleted your account.
If you don’t hear back from them within the next couple of days, message them again and let them know that you sent a request to delete your account on whatever day it was that you sent your request.
To delete your WellHello account via email, follow these steps:
Delete Your WellHello Account via Email
- Address your account removal request to [email protected].
- For the subject of the email, use some variation of “Account Removal Request”.
- For the body of the message, state that you would like them to delete your account effective immediately, and include your name, your user name, and the email address that you use for the site.
- Send the email.
Once your email has been sent, just wait for their reply confirming that your account has been deleted.
As mentioned with deleting via the form, if you don’t hear back from WellHello within a couple days, follow up with another email and include the fact that you’d already emailed on whatever day and requested that they delete your account.
If, for some reason, you are still receiving marketing and promotional emails after canceling your membership and deleting your account, contact WellHello at [email protected] and tell them that you no longer wish to receive any email from them whatsoever. In the email you send, include your name, and the email address and user name of the account that you just closed.
The Bottom Line
It is beyond me why anyone, after reading what I’ve laid out here, would want to sign up to WellHello.
You could literally light your money on fire and that would be a better use for it. At least you’d be warm for a minute.
I wish I was kidding.
Now, just to really hammer things home, here’s one more snippet from WellHello’s terms and conditions (highlights are mine):
YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE SITE AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FOR AMUSEMENT AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY…
You know who doesn’t have a disclaimer about their services being for amusement and entertainment purposes only? Legitimate dating sites, that’s who.
The fact that WellHello continues to get away with their deceptive practices day after day is just plain awful.
But unfortunately, they do. And they obviously could not give one shit about the people they hurt along the way.
A quick side note: We’ve established that what WellHello does—how they operate, how they manipulate—is unethical at best, but maybe even more despicable are the so-called “review sites” that try and convince people that WellHello is a viable option for meeting someone. It is not. And there is no way that any of those sites make that argument in good faith. Do not fall for it.
And finally, I’ll leave you with this:
I mentioned earlier that my top choice of dating site is Adult FriendFinder. This, of course, still stands. I had no doubts, mind you, but after writing this review on the complete gong show that is WellHello, it has become even more apparent to me that AFF deserves its spot at the top of the heap. Suffice to say, it is definitely the case that not all dating sites are created equal.
If you want a legit chance at actually meeting someone, click here to check out AFF and see if it works for you. If you’re interested in seeing another legit site option as well, head over to our Find Dates page.
Best of luck to you. I hope you find what you’re looking for.
