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 Zoosk
Zoosk uses a Behavioural Matchmaking engine that learns from your in-app actions — who you like, message, and skip — to continuously refine the matches it shows you. With over 40 million members across 80 countries it has a genuinely international reach. The app supports photo verification and video chat, and Zoosk Coins (its virtual currency) unlock premium features like seeing who viewed your profile and sending virtual gifts. It's a solid choice for people who prefer an algorithm that adapts over time rather than manual filtering.
