Comparison
Best Tea alternatives for checking someone before a first date.
Of the tools women use instead of Tea, Greenflagged is the one we built. Here's how the two compare on what actually matters before a first date.
Run your first check for $1What Tea does
Tea is a women-only social app that lets users post first-hand experiences about men they have dated, and lets other women search the posts by name or photo. Posts are crowdsourced and moderated by Tea.
Why people search for alternatives to Tea
- Tea is a feed, not a lookup. If the man you matched with isn't in the feed, you get nothing.
- Tea is community-moderated. The quality of any single post depends on the original poster's honesty and recency.
- Tea requires you to install the app and create an account before you can search.
- Some women want the answer in two minutes without joining a community.
How Greenflagged is different
Greenflagged is a one-look-up tool you use before a first date. You enter what you know about him, you get back a friend-summarized read in a few minutes, and the report auto-deletes after 30 days. Nothing about your lookup is visible to him or to anyone else.

Best fit by customer type
Women who want a single read in a few minutes before a first date.
Greenflagged returns one summarized read keyed to what you enter. You do not have to wait for a community post to exist.
Women who would rather not be part of a community feed at all.
Greenflagged has no posts, no comments, and no feed. Only your own lookup, which auto-deletes.
Women who want to read what other women have said about a specific man.
Tea is built around first-person experience posts. If you want subjective stories from people who have dated him, the community feed is the right format.
If you switch
- If you currently search Tea before a first date and the man is not in the feed, Greenflagged gives you a read on him without needing a prior post.
- If you usually rely on Tea's community discussion, Greenflagged does not replicate that. The formats serve different needs.
- Tea posts are persistent and public to the community. Greenflagged lookups expire after 30 days and are visible only to you.
Common questions
Is Greenflagged the same as Tea?
No. Tea is a community feed where women post about men they have dated. Greenflagged returns a single friend-summarized read about a specific person and does not have a feed or comments.
Does Greenflagged tell the person I looked them up?
No. There is no notification, no message, no email, and no record visible to him. The lookup is visible only to you.
What if Tea has nothing on him?
That is the most common reason women try Greenflagged. Greenflagged keys off what you enter (name, photo, phone, social handle) rather than a community feed, so a first look on a new match still returns a read.
How long do my Greenflagged lookups stay around?
A lookup expires 30 days after you run it. You can revisit it in your dashboard during that window. After 30 days it is auto-deleted.
Can I use both Tea and Greenflagged?
Yes. Many women do. Tea is best for subjective community context when someone has dated him before. Greenflagged is best for a quick read on someone the community has not posted about yet.
How much does Greenflagged cost compared to Tea?
Greenflagged is $1 for your first lookup and $4.99 per lookup thereafter, or $24.99 a month for 20 lookups. Tea is free to install with paid tiers gating some features.
