Why build a dating app?

You’ve a range of ways to earn money from your app (see below). Also you get to play Cupid, turning potential matches into soulmates. Which is not a bad way to earn a crust. And you can cash in on this by creating your own app!

Basic features you'll need for your dating app
Profile tools and filtering: Catalog of photos to scroll through, video profiles and filtering tools help your singles find their perfect match.
Matchmaking – your way: Yours will be a tailor-made app, so you can add whatever algorithms you think will help your users find a potential match. (Read about the horoscope dating app we built, at the bottom of this page.)
Encourage romance: Chat, favourites, comments and video messages make it easy for your dating app users to make those first interactions. And status updates.
Love is just around the corner: Geolocation lets people find singles that they like, who are nearby.
Play it safe: Adding advanced privacy settings and letting your potential users block unwanted attention – means people will feel safer using your app.
How to monetize your dating app?
Subscription: Many dating app startups have plans that charge monthly or weekly fees. And sometimes this is seen as a selling point (more serious users are ones who are prepared to pay to join). But there are other ways to earn money – particularly when you’re starting out.
Membership fee: You can charge users to download your app. This will limit the number of people who try it but it does let you position yourself as a premium product and does limit fake users and fraud.
Freemium: Give everyone a basic service and then charge for extras. You could make this anything you like, from appearing higher on the list of possible matches, to unlimited right swipes (and having a daily limit for basic users) or just make it ad-free for them.
In-app purchases: Let singles buy gifts, digital flowers, stickers, emojis, send teddies, cat pics or pimp their profile in other ways – earn money and encourage warm interactions through your app.
Adverts: Like every app, this is a simple way to make money from your customers while keeping it open and available to everyone. And you can charge for an ad-free version of your app.
