I don't mind the concept of dating apps, but nearly all of the useful features are paywalled. I also wouldn't mind paying a few bucks for a service I find useful, but the prices are outrageous.
That’s really key. They might have 10 times the subscribers if they charged a quarter as much.
Right? There's no way it costs more money to run Tinder than Netflix, and Netflix is profitable at like $15 per month.
Unless it’s on sale, Grindr is $480 usd/y
I've only used is a couple of times and now I can't remember my log in. What features are there that you can pay for? Are they actually good/necessary?
The ability to disappear from the grid, but still use the app was pretty nice. (Incognito mode)
I would like to make my own dating app cause i apparently dont know how to date, but these apps are obviously incentivised to keep you on the app, constantly spending money to have the hope someone you like actually messages you back.
But the amount of apps that spam you going, "this person just signed up, message them right away!”
Tells you all you need to know about how they companies work.
But all that being said, i would rather buy the match group, and just fix all the existing apps they have
