Our Verdict On Charmerly
Summary
Charmerly has a convenient and attractive interface, but that is possibly the only advantage of this dating service. We have serious doubts that all profiles featured on Charmerly are created by real people, and we would like the credit system to be explained more clearly. Overall, we think that the goal of Charmerly is to make you spend as much as possible, not to help you meet your soulmate.
Charmerly is an international dating platform that has been active for over a decade. Charmerly does not present itself as a typical mail order bride website — instead of only displaying beautiful women as its members, it also showcases a few men. We also noticed that Charmerly calls itself a Ukrainian dating service, which means that the majority of singles you can meet there are from Ukraine.
The Charmley dating site does not have the best reputation among those who look for love online. There are some success stories from people who managed to find love through Charmerly, but the majority of users have at least a few complaints about the service. The two most common are fake profiles and expensive services. We decided to take a deeper look at the website and its features to answer the most important question: is Charmerly legit?
How it works
Unlike many other international dating sites, Charmerly does not allow you to take a tour of the website before creating an account. If you scroll further on the homepage, you will see some examples of members profiles and a description of Charmerly services, but if you want to start your search for your soulmate, you will need to create an account.
Unfortunately, there is no option to sign up through a Facebook or Google account, which we think it’s an oversight given how common social media is today. The initial stage of the registration process does not take long: you need to enter your email, name, birth date, and password.
Once you have entered every detailed and clicked the Register button, you are still many steps from being a Charmerly member. You need to complete a long questionnaire about your dating experiences, goals, and who you are looking for on the website. There is an opportunity to skip some or all of the questions, but Charmerly recommends filling it out to increase your chances of finding a soulmate through the matching system.
We found the women’s profiles at Charmerly to be somewhat limited. Here, you can see the woman’s photos, find out about her location, age, physical parameters, and occupations, as well as learn who exactly she is looking for at Charmerly. We noticed that most of the profiles and photos in them look incredibly professional, which is why we suspect that Charmerly at least helps women create their profiles.
Some of the profiles have a Validated Member badge, which means that the woman provided her ID or other official document and that the moderators verified her profile. From a woman’s profile, you have only two ways of contacting her: send her a letter through the mail or start a chat. We are used to seeing many more contact options at other dating sites.
There is also an option to send a physical gift to the woman you like, which will be paid for in credits. The gifts range from perfume, cosmetics, and flower bouquets to expensive jewelry and equally costly gadgets.
Who can you find there?
There are several ways to discover the women of Charmerly, and the first one you will encounter is Matches — you will be taken there right after you create your profile. The matches are selected by the algorithm based on the answers you provided in your questionnaire, which means that there is a good chance you will find someone you like there.

Then you can go to the beauty contest section, where the women are chosen as the most attractive members of Charmerly. However, keep in mind that those women get lots of attention and may not reply to you soon or even ever.
You can also try the Faces feature, which works somewhat similar to the popular dating apps like Tinder. You will be shown one woman’s profile after another, and you can skip them or like them to start a conversation.
Finally, the most reliable way to look for a woman on Charmerly is the search feature. There is a simple search, where you can specify the most basic parameters, and the extended search, where you can enter even more coveted features of your ideal match.
You will see the results of your search in a collage, where you will be shown the woman’s profile photo, name, age, and the number of photos and videos she has in her profile. You can start a chat from there or visit the complete profile for more information.
Prices
Charmerly.com functions on a credit basis, and you need to pay in credits for nearly every action you want to take on the website, including chatting, sending and opening mail, and even viewing the videos in women’s profiles. As a new member, you can get 20 free credits, but they won’t take you too far.
Unfortunately, we did not find a clear explanation of how credits are spent and how much each credit costs. So if you want to get more information on the credit system at Charmerly, you can contact their customer support.
Safety
The Charmerly dating website is protected with SSL encryption, which means that your personal and financial data should stay safe while you are using the website. However, we found more than one Charmerly review complaining about scammer profiles on the website, and after using the website for a while, we tend to agree that it’s not the safest place to look for your future bride.
