Ashley Madison aka Ashley Maddison review, alternatives, and tips & tricks to use it for free!

Everything you need to know to have an affair without breaking your bank account, wasting your time, or getting scammed.

In this review, I will provide my personal opinion on Ashley Madison, also known as Ashley Maddison, as well as various similar sites. Please note that the following content represents my subjective viewpoint and should not be considered professional advice or factual information.

Here is some candid advice on how to have an affair without draining your bank account, wasting precious time, or falling for scams.

Ashley Madison aka Ashley Maddison Features: Initially, I thought the only thing you’re paying for on Ashley Madison is the ability to message women. But they won’t even let you read your messages without paying. They blur ’em out until you cough up some cash for a credit package. Imagine forking over your hard-earned dough only to find out it’s a simple “hi” waiting for you.

Ashley Madison aka Ashley Maddison Credits: Ashley Madison is not your typical subscription service. Nope, it’s all about credits here. To kickstart a conversation, you’ll need to spend 10 credits on that first message. Once the convo is rolling, subsequent messages are free. But if the person doesn’t reply and you want to message someone else, guess what? Yup, you’ll be forking over another 10 credits.

Ashley Madison aka Ashley Maddison Cost: Brace yourselves, folks. Ashley Madison aka Ashley Maddison can burn a hole in your pocket. The price varies depending on your location, but expect to shell out a minimum of $60 USD for the lowest credit package. Oh, and if you want mobile access (who doesn’t?), that’s an extra $19.99 USD. This package gives you 100 credits or only 10 chances to start a convo on Ashley Maddison

Now, here’s where things get sneakier

When you buy any credit package on Ashley Madison aka Ashley Maddison, they automatically include a sneaky subscription called Member Initiated Contact (MIC) at the bottom of the screen. They give you a free month of MIC — sounds cool, right? But here’s the scam: once that month is up, they’ll charge you $29.99 every single month. Most folks don’t even realise they’re being charged until they see those bills months later. Afterall there was nothing to cancel, it was supposed to be a credit pack not a subscription.

Now, let’s talk about the ladies. You’re probably wondering if there are real women on the site or just bots, especially after that 2015 hacking scandal where it turned out most of the female users were bots. Check out fortune.com if you want the full scoop — they did a whole article on it.

So, after all this Ashley Madison aka Ashley Maddison bashing, you’re probably thinking, “Okay, buddy, where are my alternatives?”

Sasha7 is the world’s fastest-growing affair site and the next generation of such platforms. With 7 million members, they combine state-of-the-art AI technology with captivating and user-friendly features to deliver an unparalleled experience.

I‘ll stop kissing Sasha7’s butt and just explain the differences to you:

Read Your Messages for Free: Unlike Ashley Madison aka Ashley Maddison, Sasha7 lets you read all your received messages without any payment or silly restrictions. No more paying just to know what someone said to you!

Self-Destructing Photos: With Sasha7, you can send photos that disappear after a mere 5 seconds. The advantage to this is that women are a lot more likely to send you hot pics when they know they will disappear. It’s the Snapchat effect.

Ladies Get In Free: Sasha7 believes in creating a vibrant and active community, so women get to use the site 100% free of charge. Just like clubs that let ladies in without a cover charge!

Voice Messages on the Go: Send voice messages that vanish into thin air after 5 seconds. Apparently this feature was requested directly by the women on Sasha7.

Discreet Billing: Sasha7 ensures that anything “adult” will never appear on your bill. Instead, all I saw was a nondescript payment processor site displayed.

Transparent Pricing: No hidden fees or surprises with Sasha7. What you see is what you pay, taxes included. Simple and straightforward. Ashley Madison aka Ashley Maddison has lots of hidden fees: mobile fees, hidden MIC subscription charges, sneakily charges you to top up your credits, etc.

Refunds: Sasha7 offers a full refund if you’re “not successful”* within 30 days. With Ashley Madison it’s very difficult to get a hold of customer service let alone get a refund of any kind.

Women: It’s clear Sasha7 makes an effort to get real women on to the site which is why they allow women to use it 100% free. In fact, it’s surprising to see the variety of women who are on Sasha7. Really its for anyone seeking discretion and these are just some of the types of women I found:

Sugar: Sugar babies looking for a discreet sugar daddies.

Ddlg: Younger women seeking an older, mature, discreet men.

Lonely wife: Lonely wives looking to potentially have an affair.

Curious Cyber: Married woman curious about talking online and seeing where it goes.

Travellers: Women travelling without their husbands or boyfriends and looking for a fling.

Open relationships: Women in open relationships / poly looking to explore.

Emotional Support Seekers: Women looking for other unhappy married people to vent to and talk with.

Exploring open relationship: Not in an open relationship but is pushing for her husband to agree to one.

LGBTQ: Curious about fooling around with a woman and select men.

Fitness: Fit women (think yoga moms) whose husband stopped caring about their physical appearance years ago and looking for someone who is also fit to hookup with.

Transgender: Discreet transgender people seeking older men.

Swingers: Swingers looking for a discreet 3rd.

Cuckold: Wives of a cuckolds looking for a “bull”.

Cheating wives: Married woman fed up with her marriage and actively looking to cheat.

BDSM: Women into BDSM looking for man to satisfy the kinks her husband can’t.

The prevailing thinking for using Ashley Madison is that it’s supposed to be the most popular affair site. However, what really matters for people looking for affairs is the active users on the site, not the total number. As well as the ratio of men to women. In my opinion Ashley Madison fails at both of these things. The profiles on Ashley Maddison are old…like years old and not at all active not to mention the real lack of female profiles to begin with.

Ashley Maddison / Ashley Madison charges you more and offers you less (you can’t even read your damn messages without paying). It’s the most expensive of all the affair sites so if you insist on trying it why not try it last anyways

However, I suggest you skip Ashley Madison all together.
