Which partnersearch-services are free of charge and which services are only available for (billed) members? Some cyberdating services (lovefinder websites) are free of charge for women, even free partner-search and love-match-function. See Yourself, check it out, a (guided) tour should be free of charge. Some partnership-websites offer a test-account limited some time (week, month).

The most common paymethod is creditcard, especially in the USA. In Europe the wiretransfer is not unusual. Some accept virtual money or payment via handy-bill. Have a look on the duration, a rebate on longer engagement, automatic - better: non-automatic - prolongation of membership. Automatic prolongation is a great service, but what if You are in holidays or simply forget to cancel. Checking and comparing prices is a good idea, but consider, that You might sign up for a few services (on a few partnership-websites) to increase the number of candidates to choose from.

A hotline is a good thing, but can be expensive. First look at the costs per minute.

The costs should be transparent, a description of the services is mandatory. The same for "terms and conditions".
