Unicorn Finder vs Tinder: The Differences That Matter

Who each site is for

Tinder is a mainstream dating app for meeting someone new. It is built around one person with one profile. Unicorn Finder has one purpose: couples and the single unicorns looking for them. That focus changes the experience. Here you do not have to explain what you are looking for or hope the person you match with is open to it.

How couples join

Tinder works on a one person, one account basis, so a couple has no shared place to be a couple. On Unicorn Finder you join as a couple and say exactly what you want, whether that is a threesome, a throuple, a soft swap or something more. Single unicorns find couples who are actively looking for them, so a unicorn here is the person couples came to meet.

Being upfront

Tinder’s guidelines do not allow sexual content, sexual desires or looking for sex on a public profile, though they allow it in private conversation between consenting people. On Unicorn Finder you set out your interests, boundaries and desires on your profile from the first hello. It saves time and helps you find people who want the same thing.

Where you can use it

Tinder is an app. Unicorn Finder works in any desktop or laptop browser, as a mobile web app you can add to your phone’s home screen, and as iPhone and Android apps in selected markets. You can also see some of our members before you sign up, with couples and singles to browse state by state across the US.

Cost

Both are free to start. Tinder’s paid tiers are listed on the App Store, with Plus at $9.99 and Gold from $13.99 to $24.99, and extras such as boosts and Super Likes sold separately. On Unicorn Finder, Classic is free. VIP adds unrestricted messaging, advanced search, exclusive chat rooms, group chats and seeing who likes you, from $21.39 a month on the 6-month plan. VIP Plus adds exclusive matches and puts your messages and likes first, from $25.67 a month on the 6-month plan.

Privacy and discretion

On Unicorn Finder you control everything on your profile. We never display members’ personal details and never share your information with third parties. Paid memberships appear on your bank statement as a non-descript transaction, not the name of the site. ID verification is free, and if you would rather not share ID, a member of our team can review and approve your profile instead. Our support team is available 24/7.

Where Tinder has advantages

Tinder is far larger and familiar to nearly everyone, with millions of users and a 4.2-star App Store rating from 1.8 million ratings. It is simple to start, it is free, and its paid tiers are cheaper than ours.

That is the trade-off. A huge mainstream app is built for everyone, so a profile like yours is a very small share of what people see, and most people you match with will not be looking for what you are. On Unicorn Finder, couples and unicorns already know why they are here, so a hello gets a real answer.
