Hinge replaces swiping with a prompt-and-photo liking system — you send a like attached to a specific photo or written answer, optionally with a comment. Profiles are built around 3 written prompts, 6 required photos, and detailed demographics. Free users can comment before matching, but advanced filters and unlimited likes require Hinge+ or HingeX.

What Users Say
Hinge is designed for intentional dating with deep profiles built entirely around prompts and photos — there's no traditional bio or swipe mechanic. The specific-liking system (tap a heart on a particular photo or prompt answer, add a comment) encourages thoughtful first moves, and commenting is free even before matching. Selfie video verification adds trust. The free tier is generous for engagement but restrictive on volume: daily likes are capped, and filters for height, intentions, children, and lifestyle are all paywalled behind Hinge+ or HingeX. The separate Standouts feed requires Roses (premium currency) to interact with curated profiles. Safety resources are strong with crisis hotlines and consent guides. LGBTQ+ support includes expansive orientation options and nonbinary gender, though no dedicated community features.
