Get A Shag vs Tinder, Feeld, Pure and Shagbook: Which Suits You?
All five do something well. Here's what each one is, how you use it and who it suits.
How do you choose between them?
Start with what you're after. If it's casual sex and nothing more, Get A Shag and Shagbook put hook-ups front and centre. Tinder, Feeld and Pure leave more doors open: Tinder to meeting someone new and seeing where it goes, Feeld to exploring desires, Pure to anonymous chats that run on a timer.
Then weigh up pace, privacy and screen. Facts about the other four come from their own websites, terms and store listings, as of 12 November 2026. Get A Shag is adults only, 18+, and so is each of them.
Four questions that settle it
What do you want?
A shag, plainly? Go where casual sex is the whole point. Open to anything? A broader app gives you more room to wander.
How quickly?
On Pure, a chat runs out after 24 hours unless both of you turn the timer off. Feeld opens a chat after a mutual like. On Get A Shag you can write first to anyone who catches your eye.
How discreet?
Pure says other users never see your email or real name. Any Feeld member can hide their profile from Discover. Get A Shag shows a username and your nearest town, never your name or address.
Website or app?
Feeld is a phone app only. Tinder and Pure offer apps and a web version, Shagbook is a website, and Get A Shag works in any browser or from your home screen.
