Trust and safety, by default

Every dating product eventually gets the same problem, and the ones that planned for it keep their store listing.

  • 01

    Identity verification

    Selfie-to-profile matching at signup, re-checked when behaviour changes rather than only once.

  • 02

    Reporting and blocking

    One tap, no friction, and the report lands in a queue rather than an inbox.

  • 03

    Moderation review

    Human decisions with an audit trail, so an account action can be explained months later.

  • 04

    Age assurance

    Checked at the gate. This is the one that ends the app if it is wrong.

How these apps make money

Four models, usually layered. Which ones you pick shapes the matching logic, so it is a build decision rather than a later one.

Subscription tiers
The base of the model. Recurring, forecastable, and what any valuation conversation follows.
Consumable boosts
Visibility bought by the unit, priced separately so it does not cannibalise the subscription.
Super-likes and rewinds
Small purchases that convert impatience, and the reason ARPU rises without a price change.
Advertising
Only worth carrying at scale, and it competes with the paid tier for the same attention.

Moderation is becoming the product

App stores and regulators keep tightening on verification and minor safety, and enforcement now arrives faster than a roadmap can respond. The platforms that last treat review tooling as core product rather than a support function, so we build it alongside the matching instead of after it.
