The Platform & the Hosting.
Run It Your Way.
Get the complete dating platform software under your brand — let us host and operate it for you on dedicated servers, or license the platform and run it on your own infrastructure. Either way, you get the full product, updates and support. Two-week demo access available on request.
Two Ways to Run the Platform
It's the same complete software either way — you choose who runs the servers.
Fully Managed Hosting
We deploy, host and operate the entire platform for you on dedicated, single-tenant infrastructure. Updates, security, backups, monitoring and support are all included — no servers to manage and no DevOps on your side.
- Dedicated servers in your chosen region
- We handle updates, security & backups
- SLA-backed support
- Platform live in ~1 day, fully branded in ~5
License the Platform
Prefer to run it in-house? License the platform software and operate it on your own infrastructure. You get the same complete product, with updates and technical support — ideal if you have your own hosting, data-residency or compliance requirements.
- The full platform software, under your brand
- Runs on your own servers or cloud
- Updates & technical support included
- Licensing terms on request

Live in a Day, Fully Branded in About Five
Your platform goes live fast; the full branded launch takes about five business days — and we're transparent about where that time goes. Most steps run in parallel, and the branding and payment steps start once we have your assets and access.
Order & kickoff
You pick a plan and we start right away. You get access to your admin panel and the setup questionnaire.
Your platform is live
We provision a dedicated, single-tenant environment. The full platform is up and running — ready to configure (still on our neutral look).
Fully branded
Your logo, colours, domain, email templates and legal pages are applied across the member app and admin.
⏱ Starts after we receive your brand assets.
Payments live
We set up your products, prices and webhooks inside your own Stripe account — you never share keys with us.
⏱ Starts after you grant Stripe access.
So the ~5 business days = your platform live on day one, then branding and payments configured in parallel once your assets and Stripe access arrive. The sooner you send them, the sooner you launch. Native iOS & Android apps run on their own track. We prepare and submit the builds promptly, but publication then depends on Apple's and Google's app-store review — which is outside our control, so we can't promise a fixed date for the apps.
A Complete Dating Platform, Ready to Brand
Every plan includes the full platform feature set. No feature-gating between tiers — capacity scales, features don't.
Real-Time Messaging
Instant real-time chat with read receipts, emoji reactions, image and audio messages, and GIF search.
Swipe & Match Engine
Tinder-style deck discovery with daily limits, superlikes, boosts, and unlimited undo for premium users.
Built-In Monetisation
Card, Apple IAP and Google Play subscriptions. Gold and Platinum tiers, credit packs, and boost purchases.
AI + Human Photo Moderation
AI pre-screens every photo the moment it's uploaded, then your moderators review and approve before it goes live — the best of both worlds. Images never leave your own server, so you keep full control of your data.
Full White-Label
Custom domain, logo, colour palette, email templates, and legal pages — all configurable from your admin panel.
GDPR & DSA Ready
User data export, account deletion, moderation audit trail, Statement of Reasons, and appeal flows included.
Admin Dashboard
Revenue charts, moderation queues, user management, ban system, photo verification, and per-brand analytics.
Multi-Brand Support
Run multiple dating brands from one installation. Each brand gets its own domain, colours, and payment configuration.
Mobile-Optimised API
Ready for native iOS and Android apps alongside the responsive web experience — native apps available as an add-on for +€100/month.
Dedicated, Single-Tenant Servers
Every client runs on dedicated, single-tenant infrastructure. Choose your region at checkout.

Everything Managed, End to End
A Better Deal Than Scripts or Revenue-Share Networks
White-label dating comes in two flavours, and both have a catch. Self-hosted scripts (SkaDate, Chameleon, Dating Pro) hand you source code — then leave the servers, security and updates to you. Revenue-share networks (White Label Dating, Dating Factory) host for you — but take a cut of your revenue, and your members live in a pool shared across every other partner site. Sparkle5 is the third way: fully managed or licensed, 100% your own real community and data, 0% revenue share.

vs SkaDate
SkaDate sells a PHP script with a one-time licence plus annual renewal. You host it yourself, handle server security, and pay extra for features like mobile apps. Sparkle5 is fully operational from day one — no DevOps required.
vs Chameleon Social
Chameleon Social is a self-hosted dating script with many features but a steep learning curve. Getting it production-ready — SSL, backups, moderation, payments — takes weeks. With Sparkle5 your platform is live in about a day, fully branded in about five.
vs Dating Pro
Dating Pro (PG Dating Pro) leaves infrastructure entirely to you, and its starter plans even ship pre-populated with thousands of fake profiles. Sparkle5 is fully managed — and your community is made of real members, not seeded personas.
vs White Label Dating (Venntro)
WLD powers hundreds of niche dating brands but operates as a closed network — you give up a share of your revenue and do not own your user data. Sparkle5 gives you dedicated infrastructure, full data ownership, and 0% revenue share.
vs Dating Factory
Dating Factory is a Swiss managed dating platform but ties you into their ecosystem and takes a revenue cut. Sparkle5 is an independent managed host: you bring your own payment accounts, keep every euro, and are never locked into a shared user pool.
vs iDateMedia / Joindating
Older hosted dating solutions with limited modern features, no AI moderation, and dated mobile experiences. Sparkle5 runs a current, actively maintained platform with real-time chat and native app support built in.

Common Questions
Do I need any technical knowledge?
No. We handle everything — server setup, deployments, updates, and backups. You get access to the admin panel and we take care of the rest.
Can I use my own payment accounts?
Yes. You supply your own payment credentials and keep 100% of revenue from your users. We do not take a cut of your transaction volume.
What does 'white-label' mean in practice?
Your users see your domain, your brand name, your logo, and your colours. There is no third-party or provider branding anywhere in the product.
How is Sparkle5 different from SkaDate or Chameleon Social?
SkaDate and Chameleon Social sell you a dating script — you still need to buy a server, set it up, secure it, keep software updated, and fix it when things break. Sparkle5 is a fully managed service: we handle the entire infrastructure so you can focus on growing your platform. No DevOps, no surprise incidents, no self-managed server.
How does Sparkle5 compare to White Label Dating or Dating Factory?
White Label Dating and Dating Factory are revenue-share networks — you do not own your data and typically give up 30–50% of revenue. With Sparkle5 you run on dedicated infrastructure under your own brand, own 100% of your user data, and keep every euro your users pay you.
Can I migrate from SkaDate, Chameleon, or another platform?
Yes. If you have an existing dating community we can assist with a data migration. The complexity depends on your current platform, but we have experience ingesting user profiles, photos, and basic relationship data. Get in touch to discuss your specific setup.
Can I upgrade between plans?
Yes. You can upgrade at any time and we will migrate your data and provision the new infrastructure. Upgrades are pro-rated.
What happens after the 12-month contract?
The subscription auto-renews for another 12 months unless either party gives written notice at least 3 months before the end of the term (by email to support@sparkle5.com). We send a written reminder 15–30 days before that notice deadline.
Is my users' data in my region?
Yes. Your server and object storage are provisioned in the region you select at checkout. Data does not leave that region.
