According to a DatingNews profile, Mike Reed bought the SingleAndSober.com domain in April 2015 after searching for sober dating sites and finding few options. The same article describes him as CEO and founder of an independent company with a small team of a graphic designer, a web developer and freelance writers. A 2018 Psychology Today article reported about 7,000 users in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia. Those are the only countries a third-party review says people can sign up in, though that review is several years old.
The site's FAQ lists a one month Bronze plan at 9.99 that renews monthly, plus Silver, Gold and Platinum plans that are one-off payments, and a strict no refund policy. DII named Single & Sober, alongside Loosid, as an existing player when it covered the launch of Sober Dating by Chapter 2 founder Nicky Wake. It is a long-running, small independent service in a niche that newer, app-based products are now entering.
