About Coffee Meets Bagel
Coffee Meets Bagel takes a slow-dating approach: instead of an endless swipe feed, it sends you a small number of curated matches (Bagels) each day at noon. This encourages more thoughtful engagement rather than rapid-fire swiping. Matches expire after a week, creating gentle urgency without pressure. The app uses a network-based algorithm that prioritises friends-of-friends. It's best suited to people who are serious about dating but don't want to spend hours scrolling. Premium features include activity reports and read receipts.
About Happn
Happn is a French-born dating app with a unique concept: it shows you profiles of people you have physically crossed paths with during the day, using real-time GPS. If two users have been near each other, they appear in each other's timelines. Both users can 'like' each other — if it's mutual, they can chat. This makes Happn feel more organic than algorithmic swiping, as matches are people who actually exist in your daily world. Happn is especially popular in European cities including Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Berlin, with over 100 million downloads worldwide.
