If you’ve been in the sugar world for awhile, you know better than to jump at every new sugar daddy site that pops up. After all, many of them start off with media fanfare and then turn out to be not worth your time. Which is why we tend to wait awhile to give a new site or app time to mature.
One relatively new site, Secret Benefits, has now been around for two years and is already one of the largest sugar dating sites around. So we thought it was time to take a look around and find out whether it’s legit and worth a sugar baby’s time. Let’s dive in.
What is Secret Benefits?
“Like regular dating – only better,” reads their logo, which is awesome because that’s exactly what we say the perfect sugar relationship should be. A sugar relationship is first and foremost a relationship – but you know, with sugar on top.
And that’s the next thing that Secret Benefits gets right – the emphasis is on benefits.
Secret Benefits make it crystal clear the second you land on their site that this is a site geared toward sugar daddy dating. Not rich singles, not elites but straight up sugar dating.
This lack of euphemisms and minced words is important in the sugar world because you want to make sure that the platform you’re on is optimized to attract sugar daddies who have a clear idea of the sugar arrangement and are actively seeking one. After all, there is nothing worse than meeting a promising POT on a wealthy dating website only to have him start hemming and hawing over the idea of an allowance.
Secret Benefits precludes that sort of time-wasting awkwardness by making it clear from the get go that this platform is exclusively for sugar daddies and sugar babies. Those are actually the only signup options. And we say that’s a great start.
But it doesn’t stop there. The super easy signup process is impressive not only because it allows you to set up a profile in, say, 5 minutes or less – but because one of the first questions it prompts you to answer is about what you’re looking for.
Providing this space for both sugar babies and sugar daddies puts the emphasis on the fact that this site is for mutually beneficial arrangements. Plus, it makes it so much easier since you know every sugar daddy who contacts you already knows and is okay with what you’re looking for and you don’t have to ask every sugar daddy what he’s looking for. Lots of awkward conversations avoided.
What’s Special About Secret Benefits?
Every experienced sugar baby knows that there are a bunch of “me too” sugar daddy sites out there – and they’re best avoided.
Turns out Secret Benefits isn’t one of them. In fact, it has unique features that appeal to both sugar babies and daddies, ensuring that both parties find their way to the platform. Here are our favorites:
- Free for Sugar Babies. Sugar daddies go where the sugar babies are which is why it’s smart for sugar dating platforms to keep things free for sugar babies. And yes, it’s actually totally free – you won’t need to “upgrade to Premium” to message sugar daddies or pay a cent for anything else.
- Lots of Options for Sugar Daddies. Thanks to the free-for-sugar-babies model, there are around 10 sugar babies to every sugar daddy on the site. That’s great news for sugar daddies.
- Real and Active Profiles. Secret Benefits is adamant about authenticity and screens for bots so you know that each profile on the site belongs to a real person.
- Verified Users. Speaking of bots, you know how some sugar daddy sites populate their website with fake profiles to reel in sugar daddies? Secret Benefits goes the opposite route and allows sugar babies to verify themselves with pictures and a matching video – a very original idea that gives verified sugar babies instant credibility.
- Unique Pricing for Sugar Daddies. Like most sugar daddy sites, sugar daddies do need to pay to use the site – but it’s a pretty great system. There’s no recurring billing; instead, sugar daddies just buy packs of tokens (say, 100 tokens for $59) and spend the tokens to message the sugar babies of their choice.
- Plenty of Search Options. One little details that’s great about this site is that you can search for members based on whether they smoke, drink, or have tattoos and piercings. This may not seem like a huge deal to some, but it matters a great deal to others. So it’s a considerate feature.
By the way, the option for sugar babies to do the photo and video verification is definitely worth taking advantage of. Not only does it give your profile credibility since sugar daddies know what you look and sound like, but it’s a smart way to really showcase yourself to as many POTs as possible without doing any extra work.
Oh, and last note on this topic: Secret Benefits lets you upload an insane amount of photos on your profile and you can of course mark any photos you want as “secret” so feel free to go all out.
Is Secret Benefits Worth Signing Up For?
Here’s the thing: Secret Benefits has unique features that make it extraordinarily beneficial for sugar daddies. How so? For starters, it’s completely free for sugar babies, which makes sure that there are plenty of attractive sugar babies to choose from.
To add to that, sugar daddies have the added assurance of photo and video verifications that prove each and every sugar baby profile is legitimate. On top of all that, sugar daddies don’t have to pay a recurring membership and can simply pay for the services he wants to use. This sort of flexibility is a first in the sugar world.
So Secret Benefits is definitely worth it for sugar daddies. But what about sugar babies?
It’s good for us, too – in fact, the very features that appeal to sugar daddies are what make the site perfect for babies as well. Because Secret Benefits appeals to sugar daddies, there’s a lot of them on the site. There were hundreds – even thousands – of promising sugar daddies for the locations we checked out.
But our favorite thing about Secret Benefits is the sort of mentality it promotes. As mentioned, it emphasizes benefits from the get go…and it even integrates this idea into the pricing model. Here’s what we mean: While Secret Benefits is free for sugar babies, sugar daddies have to pay for various things, like gaining access to a sugar baby’s Secret Photos or to message a sugar baby.
This is great because it requires a sugar daddy to invest right from the beginning. And as a sugar baby, you get the assurance of knowing that the POT who messaged you has paid to get in contact with you – specifically with you.
Even better? This system makes the sugar daddy search a sheer pleasure since you don’t have to pay anything to message POTs first. That means you can send plenty of free messages and get conversations started with as many sugar daddies as you want. And any sugar daddies who contact you back – well, you know they’re interested enough to have invested specifically in you.
Overall, we’d say Secret Benefits’ unique features and ease of use makes it definitely worth signing up for – for both sugar daddies and babies. Plus, it only takes a minute or so – get started here!
