JoinTheSwing vs AFF

AdultFriendFinder is a very large, mass-market adult hookup network spanning many interests beyond the lifestyle. JoinTheSwing is designed as a verification-first, consent-first lifestyle community. It does not host or organize events and does not claim AFF's volume.

Positioning

JoinTheSwing
Verification-first lifestyle community (pre-launch)
AFF
Mass adult hookup

Verification

JoinTheSwing
Required at launch — Veriff ID, biometric face-match and liveness check. From the current Veriff check JoinTheSwing receives no images (retaining the result, Veriff session reference, consent receipt and non-biometric review metadata); members from our earlier, retired in-house pass may still have ID, selfie or couple photos in private storage until account deletion.
AFF
Government-ID scan + face scan (ConfirmID) documented in its help centre; not stated as mandatory for every member

Discretion

JoinTheSwing
Consent-first by design
AFF
Variable

Events

JoinTheSwing
Does not host or organize events
AFF
Not a core product

Travel

JoinTheSwing
Bare Getaways (planned)
AFF
None

JoinTheSwing's identity check runs through Veriff (document authenticity, biometric face-match and liveness). From the current Veriff check the images never reach JoinTheSwing: we retain the verification result, Veriff's session reference, a consent receipt and non-biometric review metadata. Members who verified through our earlier, retired in-house pass may still have ID, selfie or couple photos in our private storage, deleted when the account is deleted. Digital memberships are bought in the native iOS and Android apps via StoreKit 2 and Google Play Billing after release approval. Read the privacy and verification policy.

Where AFF differs

  • Hookup-coded and noisy; lots of filtering required
  • Verification for every member is not established on its public pages
  • Not couple-or-community-anchored; no managed lifestyle events or travel

What AFF offers

  • Mass-market positioning
  • Wide range of adult interests
  • Hookup-oriented format
