Tinder: The Success Story of the App Matching Millions around the World

Introduction

Tinder is an online dating app that matches users with potential partners on the basis of geographical closeness. It created the swipe interface, in which a user swipes right to “like” or left to “pass,” and it was granted a patent for it. If two users like one another, the two are a match and can communicate via the app.

With physical closeness as its foundation, it does away with the complicated algorithms used by other mobile dating applications and simplifies it to the most basic level that you would encounter in real life: physical attraction. Tinder has developed a reputation as a “hook-up app” as a result of this.

Key Tinder Statistics

  • In 2020, Tinder had 6.2 million members and 75 million monthly active users. Worldwide matches on Tinder totaled more than 65 billion as of 2021.60% of Tinder’s users are under the age of 35.
  • In Q1 2022, Tinder had 10.7 million users, significantly more than any other online dating service.
  • Male users make up 75 percent of Tinder’s user base. 75% of Tinder users identify as men, which creates a gender imbalance. The gender gap is considerably worse in some nations, including India, however, it is closer to 50/50 in Europe.
  • Although other age groups have been using Tinder more frequently in recent years, it is still most popular among those under the age of 25.
  • Tinder became so popular that Jamie Anderson, an Olympic gold medalist, and Miss USA were both using it to find dates. In fact, the app had a 400% sudden increase in the traffic after the news of Jamie utilising the app during the Sochi Olympics went viral.

Success Story

Hatch Lab hired Rad as a general manager for its credit card loyalty app Cardify. He introduced the concept for Matchbox, a dating app, at a hackathon in his first month. The MatchBox prototype was created by engineer Joe Munoz and Rad, who launched the “double opt-in” dating software on February 16, 2012.

Co-founders Chris Gulczynski (designer) and Jonathan Badeen (front-end operator and later Tinder’s CSO) joined Cardify in March. While Cardify went through the Apple App Store clearance process in May, the team concentrated on MatchBox. Matchbox was renamed Tinder in August 2012, co-founder Justin Mateen (a marketer who eventually served as Tinder’s CMO) joined the business, and Cardify was abandoned.

The App Store’s soft launch of Tinder occurred in September 2012. Then it was introduced on various college campuses, where it soon gained popularity.

The company’s swipe functionality evolved from Tinder’s initial click-based selection process. The function was created when Rad and Badeen, who were interested in gamification, based the functionality on a deck of cards. Following a trial run on a bathroom mirror, Badeen then simplified the action. The swiping feature that many other businesses currently utilise has been made popular by Tinder.

By October 2014, there were over one billion daily swipes on Tinder, resulting in roughly twelve million matches daily. By this point, the typical Tinder user was logging on for about 90 minutes each day. 2015 saw the launch of Tinder’s “Rewind” and “Super Like” features as well as the retirement of its “Last Active” and “Moments” features. In January 2015, Tinder bought Chill, the company behind Tappy, a messaging service that relies on “pictures and ephemerality.”

With a 25.6% market share of monthly users, Tinder was the most widely used dating app in the US in 2016. Tinder brought in $403 million in annual revenue in 2017, which was 31% of the $1.28 billion in total revenue for Match Group. The highest-grossing app in the app store that year was Tinder, which overtook Netflix. Market capitalization of Match Group was $10.03 billion as of December 28, 2017.

Tinder Gold, a separate membership service, was introduced in August 2017 that allows subscribers to view which individuals have “swiped back” without informing those users. Tinder Gold quickly established itself as a lucrative revenue stream for the business, increasing Match Group’s overall revenue by 19% from 2016 to 2017. Tinder Gold’s success caused Match Group shares to soar and share prices to reach all-time highs.

As of August 6, 2018, Tinder had more than 3.7 million paying users, an increase of 81 percent from the corresponding period in 2017. Tinder introduced Tinder University on August 21, 2018, a service that enables college students to interact with other students at their institution and in the neighborhood.

Plans for Tinder’s Platinum subscription option, which costs more than gold but allows users access to more features, were made public in August 2020. During the same month, Jim Lanzone was appointed CEO.

On 4thNovember 2020, Tinder announced third quarter earnings that exceeded expectations and strong platform growth amid the COVID-19 pandemic since the third quarter of 2019, the app’s user base has increased by 15%, and its subscriber count has increased by 16%.
