1: TINDER
The biggest dating app in the world , with more than 75million daily active users , Tinder is the number one dating app in the world , Tinder is available in over 197 countries , with the US being there largest subscriber base , Tinder is a swipe based app where users can either choose to swipe right , to accept a match or swipe left reject a match ( guess what I'm getting ........Bingo ) , Tinder also allows users to send what is called a super like which essentially lets the recipient of the like know that you've sent them the like ( no shit ) , whereas typically when you're swiping on tinder it tends to be more anonymous , in the past though Tinder was mostly been known as hookup app where people go strictly for casual dating online , but as the dating up business has become more competitive , Tinder has dramatically altered the features and users experience on the App , to cater to a variety of different dating preferences ( crazy world we live in ) , this year in particular , Tinder has added so many new ways for users to add personal information to their profile , which did not exist previously , this includes everything from their Texting style , their sleeping habits and even their relationship goals , these are features that pretty much every dating app other than Tinder had up until this point , but Tinder has finally decided to add them ,and allow users to fill out much more detailed profiles ( It's about time ) , it is understandable why Tinder is making these changes ,as other dating apps like Bumble and Hinge continue to grow year after year 😓😟 . Tinder has done a really good job on staying on trend and implementing the best features of other dating apps , Rolling them out onto Tinder for users there , That's what allowed them to have a competitive Edge ( you think you know me xd ) year after year and remain the largest dating App in the world , Tinder dropped one of their very distinct features this year , a feature that kept users coming back for more and more , and created a truly unique experience on the app , and that is Tinder's classic Tinder swipe night series ( say Tinder one more time ) which was an interactive video game , you choose your own story experience within , users would be put in some sort of Doomsday scenario ( OHH just wait it's coming for real ) or murder mystery and they would have to go throughout the game collecting clues , and try to determine the best outcome , the fun part is every week when you were finished your episode of Tinder swipe night , you can see what decisions other people made in the game , and swipe based on what they did , which is a really cool and unique feature , and something that made Tinder feel really different than a lot of the other dating apps out there . unfortunately Tinder hasn't hosted a Tinder swipe Night in over a year ( which sucks so much you know what )
Tinder has three paid features services on the app ,
- TINDER +
It is about 13.50 $ a month , when you get Tinder + you are rewarded with unlimited likes unlimited rewinds , you get tinder passport which allows you to change to any location in the world , and gets rid of all the Ads on Tinder which can be kind of annoying .
- TINDER GOLD :
Whit almost double the money with 22.50 $ per month , it gives you all the features of Tinder + plus as well as the ability to see who likes 10 tops pics every single day five super likes per week and one boost per month .
- TINDER PLATINUM :
if your not getting any likes on the free version it is a big sign that your profile is just not working , and paying money to Tinder will simply not help . so before you decide to put money in , make sure that your profile is actually optimized .
2: BUMBLE
The second biggest dating app out there is BUMBLE ( bee) it has a whopping 12.3 million daily active users , Bumble is actually the only major dating app , that is not owned by Match Inc ,Bumble is a dating app where women rather than men have to make the first move , it is very similar to Tinder in that they are both swipe based apps , but when both parties swipe right on each other and they match on Bumble, the woman has 24 hours to send the first message and if she does not ( she won't bro ) the match expires forever , it a pretty cool idea , women have more control over who they interact with on the apps , and men have less pressure of constantly having to make the first move , drive the conversation and initiate things , sounds great but in reality it does not work , the majority of women will still open with Hello , hi , Hey , How are you ........ or even worst a waving Emoji 👋 , these dry openers gives men literally nothing to work with , this is so funny because the entire premise of Bumble is that it gives women the ability to take the lead in their dating life , they're given the ball and they hand it right over to you ( shocking right ) , Bumble tried to do something pretty interesting and unique , but their feminist idea of how dating apps should work , just did not paly as they were hopping ( it is what it is ) . Bumble does have some pretty unique features that no other dating app has , aside from just dating they also have Bumble BFF which allows you to meet friends for platonic reasons as well as Bumble business which is a networking app within the bumble ecosystem . Bumble has a couple of premium features :
- BUMBLE BOOST :
Which comes at a price of 16.99 $ , you can reverse a left swipe if you made a mistake , it also allows you to extend the time of your matches for another 24 hours , Boost members also get unlimited swipes , one Spotlight per week which puts your profile at the top of the swiping stack , and five super swipes per week .
- BUMBLE PREMIUM :
It costs 39.99 per month , premium members get all of the Bumble boost features as well as unlimited advanced filters , the ability to rematch with expired matches , travel mode which is basically the same thing as Tinder passport , the B line which allows you to see everyone who's already liked your profile as well as incognito mode ( i whish it was Magneto it would have been much cooler ) which allows you to use Bumble i a sneaky way where no one can see your profile unless you liked them first ( kind of a weird feature , made for cheaters ) .
if your profile is on point you wouldn't need any of these , to get matches on Bumble , take my advice Bumble is not worth it it's a massive waste of time and it'd frustrating as hell .
3: HINGE
Hinge is rapidly growing , there are about 6 million active daily users , the coolest thing about HINGE is that it's default free features , absolutely blow the features of other dating apps , Hinge is the only of the three dating apps , that is not based on mutually anonymous Swipes , on TINDER and BUMBLE both parties have to swipe right without knowing what the other person sent , but on Hinge when you send a like it notifies the other person , if he likes to accept you like , it like every like on Hinge is a super like ( like ) , Hinge does give you significantly less likes per day that you can send out , but there's so much more effective , you can also add messages to your likes when you send them out on hinge , for free which is a feature that's only available on Tinder's most expensive Tier TINDER PLATIUM , HINGE also allows you to change your location to literally anywhere in the world for free you don't need to buy TINDER PASSPORT or PREMIUM BUMBLE , you just put your location wherever you want and have good time , Hinge also has a really cool profile features such as ; Voice prompts , which went absolutely viral on Tick Tock ( god save us all ) this past year of people making videos of funny voice prompts , it is a really good way to add character and personality to your profile , which can be hard to convey through with just photos and text alone , Compared to other dating apps , HINGE requires users to put the most information on their profile , Tinder and Bumble have a lot of options to include them, but hinge actually makes it MANDATORY to include at least six photos on your profile and at least three prompts , in addition to a wide variety of personal data as well , such as education , family plans , religion and plenty more . Hinge only have one premium package /:
- PREFERRED MEMBERSHIP :
It runs for 29.99 $ ( Jesus ) per month , it includes unlimited likes , it also unlocks your list of people who have liked you , if you're not paying for Hinge they are all blurred out and you have to go one by one , it also allows you to filter other people by even more criteria such as education politics ...... also it gives access to twice as many standout profiles .
Hinge is so goo for free , there is absolutely no need to pay for premium Hinge unless you wanted to, the users on Hinge tend to be the most serious ( why so serious :) , but whether you're looking for something serious or a bit more casual , Hinge is by far the easiest play to close dates that actually show up .
A word of advice don't use Bumble it is a massive waste of time , Tinder is really solide great place to meet people , but if you're based in North America Hinge is the one for you . 😀
