3Fun vs Swingers Lounge: Threesomes or the Whole Scene
3Fun is a threesome app. Swingers Lounge covers the whole scene, from soft swap to club nights.
One goal, or the whole scene
3Fun is a phone app for threesomes and other ethically non-monogamous connections, open to couples and singles, and couples can share one account. Swingers Lounge is a swinger site: soft swap, full swap, parties and clubs, with private group chats for planning.
Both welcome couples. They pull in different directions once you are inside, so if you want a 3Fun alternative with more than threesomes on the menu, read on.
When 3Fun is the better pick
- A threesome is the whole plan, not one option among several.
- You would rather live in a phone app than a website.
- You want to run one account as a couple.
- You want a service that spells out that gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, queer and transgender members are welcome.
- You like the sound of verified photos and Incognito mode.

3Fun questions, answered
Is 3Fun only for threesomes?
Threesomes are the headline, but not the whole app: 3Fun also covers other ethically non-monogamous connections for couples and singles. It spells out that gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, queer and transgender members are welcome. Swingers Lounge is wider: soft swap, full swap, parties and clubs as well.
How much does 3Fun cost?
3Fun says messaging matches is free. On the UK App Store in October 2026, a one-month VIP subscription was listed at £29.49 to £29.99 and a three-month one at £39.99. Prices change, so check the app before you pay, and compare it with the plans on our pricing page.
Can a couple share one 3Fun account?
Yes. 3Fun lets couples share one account, and members can set up group chats. On Swingers Lounge you mark your profile as a couple, and on VIP you can start private group chats of up to 50 people, so a pair can plan together.
Is 3Fun safe?
3Fun offers verified photos and an Incognito mode. In 2019, TechCrunch reported that security researchers had found sensitive data, including location, exposed for about 1.5 million users. That is a dated event, so look at what the app says now, and meet in public first whichever service you choose.
