REASON #1
Don’t Pay to Read Your Messages!
Unlike Ashley Madison, where you must pay to read messages, Sasha7 lets you read your inbox for free.
At Sasha7, we believe in transparency and accessibility. You can read messages you receive without having to pay a dime. Ashley Madison, by contrast, forces you to pay upfront just to see what someone sent you. Imagine paying for credits, only to find a “hi” waiting for you. On Ashley Madison, even reading messages requires a credit package, costing you a minimum of $60 USD for 100 credits. Why lock your inbox behind a paywall? With Sasha7, you get full visibility and control over your connections, no hidden catches.
REASON #2
SEND SELF-DESTRUCTING MEDIA
Send photos and voice notes set to disappear in 5 seconds. The voice notes feature was requested directly by our female users!


We know that privacy and control are key to building trust, especially on a discreet platform. That’s why Sasha7 allows you to send photos and voice notes that disappear after 5 seconds—giving you the freedom to share more intimate moments without worry. Women specifically requested this feature, and we delivered. Ashley Madison, on the other hand, doesn’t have any disappearing media options, making sharing sensitive content a risky gamble.
REASON #3
FEMALE FOCUSED: HOW SASHA7 ATTRACTS WOMEN
We spent over $1.5M on female acquisition, including ads in including ads in top women’s magazines. With a woman as our VP & features designed for privacy, Sasha7 ensures women feel empowered to join and engage on their own terms.
At Sasha7, women are at the heart of everything we do. Our efforts to attract female members include bold advertising campaigns that sparked massive interest and controversy, leading to over 18,000 women signing up in just a few days. Our VP, Sasha Correia, leads our mission to create a platform where women can feel comfortable, discreet, and in control. Unlike Ashley Madison, Sasha7 offers features like disappearing photos, voice messages, and 100% free access for women—ensuring a balanced and vibrant community that truly works for everyone.
“The objective of this campaign was straightforward: to ignite interest among women, and it successfully accomplished that goal. We firmly believe that by prioritizing the attraction and retention of women, men will naturally follow.”


REASON #4
NO HIDDEN FEES OR SNEAKY RECURRING CHARGES
Ashley Madison sneaks in extra charges, including a $19–$29/month MIC subscription and a mobile fee for phone access. Sasha7 has no hidden costs—what you see is what you pay.

Ashley Madison automatically enrolls users in a Member Initiated Contact (MIC) subscription when purchasing credits, with the first month being free. After that, users are charged $19–$29/month without realizing it, often finding out months later. Additionally, there’s a $19.99/month mobile fee for phone access. It’s 2025, why are you being charged extra to access a site on your phone!? Sasha7, on the other hand, offers a simple, transparent pricing structure with no surprise charges, including taxes.
REASON #5
Local Community With People Near You
Sasha7’s city-specific launch strategy ensures an active, local user base vs. Ashley Madison’s rapid country-wide launches. Sasha7 connects you with real people near you.
At Sasha7, we believe that proximity matters. What’s the point of chatting with someone in Canberra if you’re in Perth? For a dating site to truly work, you need real people, real close. That’s why we roll out city by city, building active, open-minded communities in each region. From major cities to nearby areas, you’ll always find real people nearby—whether it’s Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, or beyond.
Sasha7’s strategy ensures a thriving local community, so you’re never stuck with distant or inactive profiles. By prioritizing quality, we create a welcoming, confidential environment for meaningful connections. Ashley Madison lacks this focus, often leaving users frustrated with distant matches. With Sasha7, finding someone close has never been easier.
