Our take
Hinge is a dating app that stands out by prioritizing meaningful relationships over casual hookups. Designed for people seeking long-term commitments, it moves away from the typical "swipe" approach popularized by apps like Tinder. Instead, Hinge emphasized detailed profiles and compatibility-based recommendations so used can make deeper, more genuine connections.
Back in 2019, half of single people in the US had never tried a dating app. Fast forward to today, and online dating is just part of the norm. Hinge has carved out its place in this market by focusing on long-term meaningful relationships, and is certainly meeting the growing demand for companionship while riding the wave of the online dating trend.
The "dating app designed to be deleted" is the fastest-growing dating app on the market and with online dating becoming the mainstream, Hinge looks pretty set to stay at the top.
