Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Happn

  • High volume of fake profiles, bots, and scammer accounts
  • Poor match quality and low likelihood of resulting in actual dates
  • Limited user base in smaller cities and non-urban areas
  • Security concerns with location-based technology revealing user movement patterns
  • Subscription and billing issues with poor customer service response

Mighty Networks

  • A transaction fee is charged on paid memberships on top of the subscription, at 2% on Launch and 1% on Scale
  • Reaching the lowest 0.5% fee requires Mighty Pro, which is custom priced and gated behind a demo
  • Host and moderator seats are capped by plan, at 3 hosts on Launch at $79 a month and 5 on Scale at $179
  • The subscription is charged regardless of revenue, so a community that earns nothing still pays $79 a month
