Pros
- Toll-free customer care number available 24/7

- Less expensive than other Christian sites
Christianmingle.com is almost half the cost of other sites such as eHarmony.com. eHarmony also monitors their site for infractions of the rules and rude behavior. eHarmony does not offer the multi-selection search option.
eHarmony.com offers the same services are Christianmingle.com with a few exceptions:
- eHarmony declines to accept approximately 20% of those applying for membership
- eHarmony's monthly rate is approximately twice that of Christianmingle.com
- eHarmony does not offer free communication offered for non-paying members
eHarmony.com is set up with the same basic system a free membership with limited access that you can upgrade to a paying membership for full access to the site and members. eHarmony does not claim to be a Christian sight but they will match members up by religious preferences.
