Looking for a Salams alternative?
Salams offers marriage and friendship modes. Wali Marriage does one thing, marriage, with the wali and the families part of it from the first approval.
If you want an app your parents would recognise as a proper way to meet, the difference is the process: her verified wali approves before a conversation opens, the families can talk in their own thread, and her photos stay sealed until she chooses one person.
| Wali Marriage | Salams (their words) | |
|---|---|---|
| The wali | Built around it: she can link her wali, who, once verified, approves a connection and can read the conversation; families can talk to each other in their own thread. | Not stated on their homepage |
| Her photos | Hidden by default. She chooses one person to show them to, after a connection is approved, and can hide them again. | Not stated on their homepage |
| Screenshots | Screen recording is blocked on photos; if a screenshot is detected, she is told. | Not stated on their homepage |
| Verification | An ID and selfie check through Didit for the Verified badge; walis verify too. | “manually verifies each user” |
| How you browse | One profile at a time, read in full before you decide. | Not stated on their homepage |
| Price | Free to join, browse and reply. Paid plans add capacity, never access. The first 1,000 members get 60 days of Premium free. | Paid tiers named “Gold” and “Diamond”. |
| Who it is for | Muslims looking for marriage, with their family involved. Not a dating app. | “Best rated app for Muslim Marriage”, with a separate friendship mode. |
What the other apps say is quoted from their own homepages, checked on 22 October 2026: Salams. Their apps change; check them yourself. Names are their owners' trademarks and are used only to identify them.
