I’ve never used Shidduch Net. All I know is that it’s a dating site catering towards the religious/traditional community. Jdate is more general, catering to the Jewish (and now even non-Jewish) singles community.
Shidduch Net is free. Jdate is far from cheap.
And now both of these Jewish dating sites are implementing some changes to their sites. Curious what changes?
I had a glimmer of hope that Jdate would announce their new site. But now, Jdate is just tightening their grip of the members, allowing you to see less if you aren’t paying.
Shidduch Net, on the other hand, has updated their site in order to improve the user experience.
The fact that Jdate is very old fashioned, has major glitches and still charges so much, boggles the mind. I mean, OK fine. Charge what you want. But why do we continue to pay them? Jdate is stuck in the olden days and we still love to give them our money. It’s unbelievable.

Here is the message from Jdate about their changes:
