It is also said EliteSingles USA churn rate 87% every 5 months!
EliteSingles / eDarling sites are only copycats of eHarmony.
A prospective client will not perceive eDarling / EliteSingles sites as better, superior or different than eHarmony's ones. eHarmony has about 750,000 paid subscribers and 10 million active users, which has been steady for the past five years. 
eHarmony's sites are 3 times bigger in active users and revenue than EliteSingles's sites.
And worse, Affinitas GmbH. can not beat and will never beat eHarmony Inc. in United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and United States.
