Badoo: Authenticity is what matters

What makes the Badoo a better alternative to Tinder? The completely free platform values authenticity above all else. The emphasis is on creating genuine connections, which is why Badoo doesn't have filters that drastically alter users' appearance. Plus, your video chats ensure you're interacting with the real person behind the profile.

And another really cool thing about Badoo is that the app prioritizes user privacy a lot.

Over time, Badoo became more strict in terms of fake accounts, now for account authentication, real-time verification of the user's face is required, but don't worry, this photo will not go on your profile! It will only be used to confirm a person.”real“. Thus avoiding conversations with bad people (Fakes) and improving the security of the App.

Happn: Digitized Destiny

O Happn goes beyond traditional left and right swipes. It focuses on “almost" it is us "and if" of life. Every time you come across a Happn user in real life, their profile appears in your feed. This touch of digitized destiny is something Tinder doesn't offer, making every match on Happn a potentially interesting story.

The application itself is free but it also has Happn Premium, the paid version that can be subscribed for a period that varies from 1 to 12 months, costing on average R$ 79.90 per month.

Bumble: More Than Just Matches

O Bumble stands out not only for its female empowerment, but also for its multiple functionalities. Unlike Tinder, which is mainly focused on dating, Bumble also offers the option of professional networking and friendships. The possibility of multiple networks on a single platform is definitely a welcome innovation.

If you're not familiar with the app, you might not know, but Bumble has its peculiarities, one of which is very interesting, by the way, is that within the app, women are the ones who have the power to start a conversation! Enter a “match” of people with different sex, they are the ones who initially approach a new conversation.

Conclusion

The universe of dating apps is constantly evolving. While Tinder may have opened the door to this digital revolution in love, apps like Badoo, Happn and Bumble are taking things to a new level with innovative features and a more user-centric approach.
