The best 420 dating apps are dedicated cannabis-dating platforms such as Stoner Singles, 420 Singles and High There, plus niche sites like Date420Friendly. Mainstream apps such as Hinge and Tinder now offer a lifestyle filter for cannabis use too, though niche apps still have the most 420-specific matching.
We run one of the apps in this list, so treat that as a disclosed interest rather than a reason to skip the honest parts. The table below covers price, free tier, UK availability, community and verification for each option, and the sections after it go into more detail on where each app is actually good, not just what it claims to be.

Stoner Singles
Free to join, with a VIP tier at £6.99 a month and a VIP+ tier at £7.99 a month for read receipts, priority visibility and advanced filters on smoking style and frequency. The product leans into community: an editorial blog, member polls, and in-app groups, on the belief that cannabis is the filter, not the whole relationship. Trust and safety features include optional ID verification with a visible Blue Tick badge, video verification, and AI plus human moderation on uploads. UK, US, Australia, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand all carry real member volume; the UK is our largest single market. Full comparison: Stoner Singles vs 420 Singles.
420 Singles
A straightforward, long-running app built around browsing, swiping and a compatibility questionnaire, with a premium tier for unlimited swipes and messages. Its clearest differentiator is strain-preference profiling: matching on specific cannabis preferences as a structured field rather than a free-text bio line. If detailed strain compatibility matters to you more than anything else, this is the app that has invested most in that exact feature.
High There!
The most established cannabis-specific dating network still operating, with the largest reported active user base among the niche apps. It's free to use and works simply: browse, match, message. Because it's been running the longest, it's a sensible starting point if you want one app that "does everything" in the niche without extra structure layered on top.
Date420Friendly
A smaller, web-based community site rather than a mobile app, long-established and still running. It's free to join and has a genuine, if modest, social following. The trade-off is moderation: reviewers note it does not manually approve photos before they go live, which raises the risk of fake or low-quality profiles compared with apps that screen uploads. Worth trying if the bigger platforms haven't worked for you, with the usual caution around unmoderated profiles.
Mainstream apps with a cannabis filter
Hinge, Tinder and Bumble all reach a far larger audience than any niche cannabis app, and several now support lifestyle prompts or bio tags that signal cannabis use or "420 friendly" status. The advantage is sheer numbers. The disadvantage is that cannabis compatibility is one filter among dozens, so the accuracy and depth of that specific match signal is inconsistent, and in the UK, where recreational cannabis remains illegal, some people prefer the discretion of a dedicated niche app over flagging it on a mainstream profile next to their real name.
Are 420 dating sites legit?
The established niche apps in this list are real, working products with active free tiers, which is the fastest way to check legitimacy yourself: create a free profile and see whether real people respond before paying anything. Smaller or web-only sites vary more; look for visible moderation, a clear pricing page, and reviews that mention actual matches rather than just sign-up volume. Our own Trust and Safety page covers how we handle ID verification, moderation and cancellation, which is the detail worth checking before you pay for anything.
Which 420 dating app should you choose?
If you want a dating app that also gives you something to read and a community that isn't just profiles, that's the case for Stoner Singles. If strain-by-strain matching is your priority, try 420 Singles. If you want the single largest, longest-running cannabis network, High There is the default choice. If you've tried the above and want another option, Date420Friendly is free and active, with the moderation caveat above. And if none of the niche apps have the numbers you want in your area, a mainstream app with a lifestyle filter will have far more people, at the cost of precision. Most people trying this space end up on two apps at once for a few weeks; all the free tiers here make that cheap to do.
FAQ: best 420 dating apps
What is the best 420 dating app?
There is no single best app for everyone. Stoner Singles suits people who want a dating app with real editorial content and community features alongside matching. 420 Singles suits people who want strain-preference profiling as a specific filter. High There is the longest-established cannabis network with the largest user base. The right choice depends on whether you want a lifestyle community or a narrower matching tool.
Are 420 dating sites legit?
The established niche apps (Stoner Singles, 420 Singles, High There) are legitimate, working products with active free tiers you can test before paying anything. Smaller sites vary: some, like Date420Friendly, are real and active but do not manually approve photos, which increases the risk of fake or low-quality profiles compared to apps that moderate uploads. Check for a free tier, a clear pricing page, and visible moderation or verification features before paying.
Is there a free stoner dating app?
Yes. Stoner Singles, 420 Singles, High There and Date420Friendly all let you create a profile, browse and message for free. Paid tiers on the niche apps add extras such as read receipts, priority visibility and advanced filters, but none of them require payment to start.
Do mainstream dating apps have a cannabis filter?
Some do. Larger apps have added cannabis-related lifestyle prompts or filters, most visibly Hinge's disability and lifestyle prompts and various "420 friendly" bio tags on Tinder and Bumble. These reach a far bigger audience than any niche app, but cannabis is one filter among many rather than the whole point of the product, so match quality on that specific dimension is inconsistent.
Which 420 dating apps work in the UK?
Stoner Singles, 420 Singles and the major mainstream apps all operate in the UK. Stoner Singles treats the UK as a primary market rather than overflow from a US-first product, which shows up as a larger UK member base relative to its size. Availability on smaller niche sites varies, so check a site's own membership or country information before joining.
