    The short answer

    The Official Love Language Quiz is free, about 4 minutes and comes from the home of the five love languages, so it is the natural first stop. Its paid Premium Assessment ($39 as listed) goes deeper on love languages for one person.

    Affinity Test adds your temperament and an attachment check, and is built for comparing two partners: a free side-by-side preview, then an optional report for both of you at $3.

    Where the official quiz is better

    • It is the original, from the people behind the book that started the idea.
    • It is free and takes about 4 minutes.
    • The Premium Assessment is far more detailed on love languages alone: a 15-page report, love language dialects, a gift matrix and 12 videos.
    • It has related quizzes we don't offer, such as the Apology Language quiz.

    What Affinity Test adds

    • Temperament and attachment in the same test, so you see why you show love the way you do and how you react under stress.
    • A partner invite: when your partner finishes, you both see your temperament fit, whether your top love languages match and where you may clash, for free.
    • An optional Couple Affinity Report written from both partners' answers, $3 once for both partners.
    • A love-language-only test with no email if that is all you want.

    Price

    Both free results cost nothing. The official site lists its Premium Assessment at $39 (shown as 29% off $55) for one person. Our Couple Affinity Report is R20 for two people, and we also offer a low-cost personal report. They are different products: the Premium is a deep individual love language report; ours explains how two people's temperaments and love languages fit.

    Where we are weaker

    • Our full test asks for an email to send your result.
    • We are new and small, with no reviews yet.
    • We have no instructional videos or printed workbook.

    Who should pick which

    • Pick the Official Love Language Quiz

      if you want the original quiz, only care about love languages, or want a deep paid report about yourself.

    • Pick Affinity Test

      if you want love language and temperament together and want to compare with your partner.

    • Or take both

      The official quiz takes about 4 minutes. If your results differ, that is worth talking about too.

    Questions people ask

    Yes. As listed on 5lovelanguages.com on 2 October 2026: free, 30 questions, about 4 minutes. The separate Premium Assessment is paid.

    It was listed at $39 (shown as 29% off $55) when we checked on 2 October 2026. Prices change, so check the official site.

    Often, but not always. The questions are different, and the research suggests most people value several love languages rather than one. If your results differ, look at your top two in both.

    No. We use Gary Chapman's five categories with credit, but we are independent and not endorsed by The 5 Love Languages.
