Coffee Meets Bagel
Coffee Meets Bagel restricts the number of profiles you can view at once, pushing you to think more carefully about the ones you do see. Every day, the service sends male members 21 handpicked matches, which they can accept or reject. The women, in turn, get to see which males have expressed interest in them and decide whether or not to reciprocate. If they do, the matched pair will be able to communicate for free.
It takes only a few minutes to create your profile, and it only requires a few simple information about yourself and your appearance. It also uses "beans" as a form of currency, which you can obtain by performing particular acts, such as frequent logging in, or by purchasing them. Beans are then used to unlock unique app features and to "like" other user profiles.
The maximum amount of profiles you could like before running out of beans was five per day, which discourages most individuals from being superficial with their matches. The messaging tool also includes a seven-day conversation time restriction for two-person conversations, forcing you to determine whether you want to pursue that prospective love connection. This one was primarily made up of folks looking for long-term partnerships rather than hook-ups.
Reasons to purchase:
- Limits your daily matches so you can spend more time thinking about profiles
- Names are kept hidden until you and another user both like each other
- Setup inquires about your preferences in a partner
Reason to avoid:
- Only available as an app
- You can't "like" an unlimited amount of users at once
