Designed to be kept, not deleted
Hinge brands itself as the app "designed to be deleted," emphasising relationships over casual encounters. Tudae shares this relationship-first philosophy, keeps messaging free for every match and invests heavily in profile verification. Both apps reject the endless swipe model; on Tudae, paying is optional and buys convenience, not better matches.
Holistic compatibility analysis considering interests, values, and relationship goals. The algorithm improves as it learns your preferences.
Users interact with specific profile prompts and photos. The algorithm learns from these interactions to suggest better matches over time.
Rich profiles with multiple ways to express personality. Clean interface that encourages exploration over snap judgements.
Prompt-based profiles encourage personality sharing. Interface focuses on individual content pieces rather than full-profile viewing.
Multi-step verification including AI-powered photo checks and behaviour analysis to maintain community integrity.

Free to match and message, with no message limits. Tudae Pro is optional and adds unlimited likes, Rewind, See who likes you, messaging before you match, and intent and nationality filters.
