Badoo vs. Tinder
Badoo vs. Tinder
  • A dating app good for people looking for friendship or casual dating
  • Free to join, but premium features can be accessed with credits or a premium membership
  • Majority of users are late teens and young adults
  • It has a high percentage of member activity
  • It is available to download for free
  • Easy swipe feature to like a profile or not
  • Millions of members to checkout
  • Members of LGBTQ+ are welcome to register
  • Connect to other apps like Spotify, Snapchat, etc
  • Lack of security when it comes to the authenticity of a profile
  • Limited profile information available
  • Swipe decisions are based on photos in just a matter of seconds, making Tinder a bit superficial
