Free Features
  • Live video streaming
  • Sending messages
  • Private live chat
  • Sending and viewing of private photo albums
Premium Features
  • Posting flying comments on public and private video live stream
  • Sending of virtual gifts

HeeSay works in the currency of ‘beans’. Beans are used to post flying comments to another user’s public or private video live stream.

Another thing that beans are used for which is buying and sending virtual gifts to other users. The act of giving and receiving virtual gifts add to your HeeSay profile’s ‘social wealth’. For every 100 beans your spend in public and private live chats, you earn 1 wealth point.

As you level up your social wealth, you will get certain privileges that would make you stand out from the rest. You will have a special icon that changes in color for every 10 levels you achieve. This could make your flying comments have a rainbow bubble which could attract other users and would definitely make your comment stand out.

You can also earn free flying comments every month once you reach level 12 and above. The number of monthly free flying comments depends on your level.

For levels 12-15, you get 10 free flying comments every month. For levels 16-19, 20 flying comments. For 20-23, 30 flying comments are free on a monthly basis. Levels 24-25 get 40 free every month. And lastly, levels 26-30 get a monthly allowance of 50 flying comments.

HeeSay also offers SVIP and VIP memberships to elevate your experience beyond the basics available for free. While you can use the platform at no cost, these paid options give you added control, privacy, and personalization in your interactions. Both memberships include perks like video calling, group chat expansion, and level boosts, but SVIP offers a more premium set of privacy features and exclusive upgrades for an even richer experience.

  • Claims to have over 40 million users worldwide
  • Records over 390,000 monthly worldwide visits
  • 100% male user base
  • Majority of the users are young professionals within the age range of 20-35
  • Most of the members are in search for casual relationships and friendships

Since HeeSay is a social dating app that is highly publicized for gay men, 100% of its members are males. And these males, more often than not, are looking for something casual than a serious relationship.

HeeSay's male users are mostly 25 to 35 years old. This is the age where males are the most sexually active, which is why it's not surprising that they are into one-time things or sexual arrangements.

Most of HeeSay’s user base—making up almost 70% of its user base—comes from Asian countries like China, Vietnam, and South Korea. Still, it has a strong following from English-speaking countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

Given the young and international population, it's easy to find acquaintances and flirt around using HeeSay.

Making Contact on HeeSay

Blued Inbox
  • Private photos can be shared for specific people
  • Join groups for free
  • Private chat and private live available
  • Nearby function for matching
  • A QR code scanning function is available
  • All members can send messages for free

Compared to other dating apps, HeeSay has a different approach to how they match their users.

Firstly, there is no ‘like’ function, rather, users follow other users if they wish to see their post updates. Another way of contacting is through joining public and private video live streams.

If you are giving the live stream, you can invite your contacts for a private screening. If they did not join during the duration of your live stream, they would still see the invitation in their respective inboxes, but would not be able to replay it. Same as if you are on the receiving end of a private live stream invitation.

There is also a nearby function that shows you users who are near your current location—that is if your GPS is turned on. As well as an explore feature where you can see popular live streams and threads.

HeeSay Profile Quality

profile quality
  • The profile features the full-sized primary photo of the user
  • Includes username and age
  • Location and last-seen-online details are indicated in the profile
  • The profiles are poorly detailed
  • The profile information can be changed later
  • Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free

All profiles on HeeSay (formerly Blued) start with just the basic details from registration. When viewing a profile, the user's photo fills the screen, showing their name, location, age, and last online status right away—no need to scroll.

HeeSay is geared more towards casual dating, so profiles are simple, focusing mainly on looks rather than deep personal details. You'll learn about a person’s personality and character as you chat.

Heesay Safety Features
