Matching and real-time are the whole product

When you build a dating app, the swipe is the surface — the product is the matching logic, real-time chat and video, and the safety and verification that make strangers comfortable connecting. The real-time layer and trust tooling are exactly what we're strongest at, having built live video, group calls and moderation in Dentalk.

Skip the Upwork lottery

A vague “build me a dating app like Tinder” post attracts price-sorted bids from strangers. Instead, tell our free tool what you're building and get an instant blueprint — features, MVP timeline, honest cost — then a firm quote from a team that has shipped real-time social apps.

FAQ

How do dating apps make money? +

Subscriptions, boosts, super-likes and in-app purchases. We build the monetisation and the analytics to tune it.
