Match: Best for Long-Term Relationships
Match makes it smooth and easy to form virtual connections. Rich and robust profiles, not just hot photos, let you know if someone is worth your time before you start talking. Thanks to the Vibe Check feature, potential partners already in a conversation can also begin a live video chat session if they both agree.

2. Tinder : Best for Casual Dating
Tinder’s young, online-oriented users are no strangers to forming virtual connections. It innovated the “hot or not” mobile interface now used by almost all other dating apps. Once swiping gets old, Tinder’s video chat app, Face and Face, lets consenting partners start talking and get real.
Tinder is for finding love right now, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Who knows? While some hookups stay casual, others may blossom into something more. Tinder is the Editors’ Choice pick for quick, young romance that favors the physical.

4. Bumble: Best for Woman-First Dating
Bumble empowers its most vulnerable users to send the first message when looking for dates, knowing that they won’t get unsolicited messages in return. Bumble also offers many ways to communicate beyond text. You can send audio notes, add a Virtual Dating Badge to your profile, and begin a video chat when you’re ready.
Bumble is for women and nonbinary folks who don’t want cis men to have all the power in online dating. It flips the script on who controls the flow of the conversation, as men can only talk to people who have already expressed interest. In an unbalanced world, Bumble helps make things a bit more fair.
- Excellent privacy and safety features
- Robust free version
- Fun and inclusive interface
- Video chat
5. Happn: Best for Meet Cutes

6. Hinge: Best for Beautiful Profiles

Use the “Dating From Home” menu to start video calls, and get intimate with audio recordings that answer Hinge’s creative icebreaker prompts.
Hinge strikes an excellent balance for people looking for something between the youthful immediacy of modern dating apps and the deeper dives you want when looking for a stronger connection. Hinge’s profiles do it all, and look beautiful while doing it.
- Robust profiles

- Video chat and voice recordings
7. OkCupid: Best for Thoughtful Questions
Dating apps let us learn so much more information about a potential partner than we ever could from a random conversation at a bar. OkCupid’s wide range of questions, from fun tidbits to serious dealbreakers, make your messages that much more informed and your romantic success that much more likely.
OkCupid is for people who want to choose how much they put out there. You can answer as many questions as you want to give the algorithm more data to work with, but you pick what you will and won’t answer. It feels empowering rather than overwhelming.
PROS
- Most of the app can be used for free
- Robust profiles
- Inclusive identification options for gender and sexual identities
8. eharmony: Best for Test Takers
Eharmony is a somewhat old-fashioned dating service. For example, it was a little slow to add same-sex options. However, with modern features like video dating alongside the classic questionnaire, eharmony has stayed current without giving up what already works.
Eharmony is for people who want to date through data. Its extensive questionnaire uses more than 100 questions to take in as much useful information about you as possible. It then uses that data to find matches that are truly compatible in the long term.
- Robust privacy and security features
- Thorough profile-building process
- No in-app transactions
