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.

About OkCupid

OkCupid has been around since 2003 and stands out for its extensive personality questionnaire and compatibility-based matching. Users answer questions on everything from politics to lifestyle, and OkCupid uses these to calculate match percentages. It's one of the most inclusive mainstream apps, offering a wide range of gender identities and sexual orientations. The free tier is generous — you can message anyone without paying. OkCupid A-List removes ads and adds advanced filters and profile boosts.
