In September, 2005 Cupid.com was included into Top20 Dating Sites list by Alexa rating. Cupid.com isn't owned and operated by some giant corporate monolith that is focused solely on the bottom line. Cupid.com is a small, privately owned company. Cupid team of a couple dozen people prides themselves on providing exceptional customer service, which is their hallmark and they really care their name. Cupid.com use radio advertising on thousands of radio stations all over the U.S. and Canada and that's doing their site so popular among other online dating sites.

After reviewing more than 20 dating sites we were really surprised with profile setup at Cupid.com. It takes less than one minute to become free Cupid.com member. All you need to do is to create online name, enter your email address and confirm it and enter your birth date. After doing this you are a member of Cupid.com dating service. After this Cupid.com in softly will ask you to complete your profile by entering detailed information about yourself and person you are seeking for. Sure it's highly recommended to complete your profile and enter as much information as you can to get informative profile but if you don't have a time or just want to be fully anonymous you can skip this step and just write letters to other members.

Cupid.com has modern, nice-looking design and 4 areas to browse: search, my cupid, advices and local events. Let's start from Cupid.com search analysis. Members browsing is quite easy and comfortable. Interesting fact that even non-members can browse cupid members profiles - it increases your chances to be found by other single. Cupid.com has 2 kind of searches: quick and expanded (available only for members). Also you can browse members who're online at this moment as well as check members with latest added photos. Browse by online name option could be useful if you know members online name but can't find her/him in search results.
"My cupid" - it's your profile area. Here you can read incoming messages, check your contacts and match lists, and browse favorites profiles.
"Advice" - in this site area Cupid.com offers your to read some online dating tips, tips on using cupid.com, professional dating advices from Ms Redding Lisa Daily. In love stories section you can read Cupid.com user reviews and testimonials.

Cupid.com membership price is based on standart rate and in our opinion the cost of service fully fit with kind of services. - 12 Months for $8.33 a month (billed in 1 payment of $99.95)
- 6 Months for $12.49 a month (billed in 1 payment of $74.95)
- 3 Months for $14.98 a month (billed in 1 payment of $44.95)
- 1 Month for $24.95

We thing that 3 months members for $44.95 is optimal payment plan at Cupid.com. If after 3 month of service you'll be satisfied with kind of services you'll be able to buy 6 month membership for $74.95 and it total you'll pay $120. 12 month membership is the cheapest one but according to researches it's quite difficult to spend 12 month on one dating site. That's we advice to buy 3 or 6 month memberships.
