eHarmony
eHarmony is the winner of the Editor's Top Pick - Match System award for 2021. In recent years this category has a seen a reduction of dating services who meet the criteria to be considered. The reason is the pendulum seems to have shifted with the increased popularity of dating apps. Casual dating with swiping through endless photos is on the rise (emphasizing quantity) while long-term relationships and in depth profiles is falling (quality). The result of this is matching algorithms do not have to be nearly as complex since so little profile information exists about members. Thanks to dating services like eHarmony, matching based on compatibility is still important and a major focus of their dating service.
eHarmony has been in business for over 20 years now and thanks to their trusted brand, millions of members have found long-term relationships. In fact 2.3 million messages are sent every week by members. eHarmony's continued popularity combined with their new video date tool, and evenly split gender ratio of their members, makes it our go to suggestion for those interested in getting more out of online dating than casual endless swiping.
So how does eHarmony work? It is free to join, create a profile, and take the Compatibility Quiz (about a 30 minute process). Your information is then compiled into a Personality Profile. After that eHarmony presents you with a curated list of matches. These matches are based on actual research into what makes a long-term relationship a success. Everyday you will get a new list of matches you can review. As a free member you get to reply to any member who sends you a message. If you want to reach out to a match first you will have become a Premium member. The price per month for this subscription ranges from $25 to $42 depending on the term. Other features are included in a Premium membership like Video Chat and viewing all photos that come with a profile (not just the first one).
