Our take

Online dating is one of the areas that has seen renewed growth as virtual interactions are increasingly replacing physical interactions. Plenty of Fish is an online, easy to use, dating app that has established a strong presence for consumers on the dating scene. It offers its customers a diverse community of single people to choose from.

Unlike several of its competitors, Plenty of Fish has become a singles’ favorite because it allows them to view matches and send messages between users for free. Since becoming part of the Match family (along with Match.com, Tinder, and Hinge), the platform has been able to keep up its low-barrier model for its users.

Plenty of Fish has grown to a massive 150+ million registered user count. It boasts users in over 20 countries and across 11 languages. The company remains one of few steady-state dating platforms, and is poised to keep increasing over the coming years.
