Our Honest Take!"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"What<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Compared to$ eHarmony, the primary objective of OkCupid is not to get you into a long-term relationship right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, it seeks to connect you with different individuals from diverse backgrounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put it simply, it's more chill. (that can be a bad thing if your objective is to look for people who are serious about relationships and marriage)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, according to Statista<\/a>, OkCupid is 5th in line in terms of the percentage of paying customers, trailing slightly behind apps like Bumble, Tinder, and Hinge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discrepancy between the number of visitors and paid subscriptions for services like Premium is due in part to OkCupid\u2019s main differentiator: OkCupid lets members message each other even while using the free service option. Therefore OkCupid gets a lot of visitors who use the site for free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not something you can do on other matchmaking sites like eHarmony or Match which, right off the bat, are both paying sites. This is by far OkCupid\u2019s best and most distinctive feature.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with other apps like Tinder and Bumble, which are just as free to use and have conquered the younger markets, OkCupid competes by targeting a slightly older demographic <\/a>and presenting them with the option to use the app for free while having the added but optional convenience of paying for premium added services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But let\u2019s start from the beginning and explore each feature before considering OkCupid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, it\u2019s hard to distinguish what OkCupid may have to offer compared to other similar apps like Tinder or Bumble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like eHarmony or Match, its main feature is that it actually \u200b\u200btries<\/em> to find you a match based on your compatibility potential with other members, rather than throwing the entire database at you which you have to sort through one profile at a time. (Think Tinder or Bumble).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let's get right into the review:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OkCupid And Its Three Membership Levels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, it\u2019s important to note that you can totally use OkCupid for free,<\/strong> OR you can choose to go with one of the two levels of paid subscription: OkCupid Basic and OkCupid Premium (previously called Premium A-List). Each profile comes with its own set of perks. Before we can discuss what Premium has to offer, let\u2019s do a quick recap:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
