As the name of the site suggests, AsiaCharm is the platform for Asian singles and also Westerners who’d like to meet and date them. The concept isn’t new, but I can’t say it’s one of the mail-order bride sites with standard features and Asian brides from the Philippines and Thailand only.
I joined the community to find out what’s special about this platform, and I’m going to share my key findings in this AsiaCharm review.

How much does AsiaCharm cost?
So, what is AsiaCharm? First and foremost, it’s an international dating site created for particular categories of singles, namely Asians and Westerners seeking new people and romantic relationships. What I’m trying to say is that it’s not the mainstream site for all, and just like most niche sites, it’s a premium platform where you need to pay to communicate.
AsiaCharm members can buy and spend credits, and at the moment, they can get them at the following prices.
Note that all the new members who’ve just joined the community get 20 Asiacharm free credits. Just like the credits you purchase, they can be spent on any premium features.
Free and premium services on AsiaCharm
So, there are things that all members can do for free and actions users will definitely need to spend some credits on.
When I was using the site, the free features were as follows:
- All types of search features. There are quite many ways to discover new matches on AsiaCharm.com, and all of them are completely free for all users.
- Access to profiles and photos shared by members. Unlike some other sites in this segment of the market, AsiaCharm doesn’t make access to profiles partially free. It’s 100% unlimited for all. All members can read bios, see details, view posts, and check out photos from public albums.
- Winks, likes, lists of favorites. If you want to ensure that the other member is interested in communicating with you, too, you can send them a like and wait for a like from them. The same goes for free winks. If you want to contact someone later, you can add this person to your list of Favorites, and that won’t cost you any credits either.
And here are the premium services:
- Live chat and Mail service. You can choose any or switch between the two. The prices for using them are different, though, and you are likely to need to test both to see which feature is more cost-effective for you.
- Exchange of media files. On AsiaCharm, you can send photos, videos, audio files, and custom stickers. Of course, you can also receive them from others.
- Access to videos. If you want to watch someone’s introductory video, you’ll need to spend some extra credits.
- Gifts. There are only virtual gifts now, but it looks like the company is going to launch its own online gift store soon.
All in all, you can learn a lot about the community, see how many people contact you, test different search features, contact others to see if there’s any interest in you, and get support for free. But direct private conversations and some special features will cost you real money. Fortunately, the pricing policy is transparent.
How does AsiaCharm work?
I’ve read a lot of AsiaCharm reviews before I set up an account on the site, and I must admit that though you understand what to expect in general, you still can’t understand how the entire system works. I learned all the main principles and algorithms in around a week of using the site, and in my opinion, there are three main stages every member goes through:
The algorithm is rather simple, but I appreciate that a member has freedom of action and can customize the service to have the best experience possible.
AsiaCharm profile examples
Is AsiaCharm legit? Well, we need to discuss another important criterion to give the right answer to this question, and that’s the quality of profiles. In short, it’s high—the chance that you’ll face an AsiaCharm scam is low. That, however, doesn’t mean that I recommend ignoring safety rules. There is no such thing as a 100% safe dating site.
Still, let’s discuss Asia Charm profiles in more detail. Here’s what the typical page of the member looks like.
As you can see, the member has multiple photos and videos. This profile could be perfect if the self-description was a bit longer and posts were not just photos without any message to others. Other pages will have their own drawbacks, but in nearly every case, you’ll be able to get enough information about a member to decide whether contacting them will be a good idea.
Summary from Mari Kovanen
So, what’s the verdict of my AsiaCharm.com review? Well, it’s a niche site. I mean, it’s created and it will work for two categories of singles—Asians seeking Western partners and Westerners seeking partners in Asia.
The site is promoted as the place where you can find any type of relationship, have fun, find friends, etc., but let’s be honest—people join the community and pay for credits, which are not cheap, not to find a penfriend but to find a romantic partner, ideally, for quite a long period of time.
