2022 Dating Sites Reviews Single's Choice Award

Recipient of Gold
Tinder

Recipient of Silver
POF

Recipient of Bronze
eHarmony

Once again thanks in part to the pandemic online dating users continue to increase in numbers. In the previous year we saw a lot of dating services add in video chatting to help singles meet at least virtual. This year we didn't get nearly as many new features. Instead most online dating companies have seen their services mature to the point of new features not really affecting how many new users join. Instead these companies are now concentrating on markets outside of North America and Europe to increase revenue. China and India with their huge populations are where the money is at. While the profit per user is lower in these countries, the larger market more than makes up for it.

The 2022 Dating Sites Reviews Single's Choice Award poll went online October 1^st, 2021 and closed for voting on December 31^st, 2021. In 3 months, 338 visitors took time and cast their vote in the poll. This is on par when compared to last year but down by over 20% when compared to the last 5. It is much harder for new dating services to make a dent in the market now thanks to the established brands and their recognition. The only time people consider trying a new dating service is when they have already tried the popular brands and are not seeing the results they like.

For 2022, the poll asked the following question:

Which dating service would you recommend for the 2022 Dating Sites Reviews Single's Choice Award?

Voters get to choose 1 dating service from a selection of 10 of the top dating services in 2021. These services are selected by the Editors of DatingSitesReviews.com. For this award the dating service which received the most votes gets the Gold, second place gets Silver, and third place, Bronze.

There was no shuffling this year in the winners. The top 3 had about a 1.3% spread in voters. This shows that there is no one true leading dating app in the industry anymore (at least world wide). The bottom 7 dating services also had a relatively small difference of 2.5%. Looking back on our awards from 2007 it looks like we have never had such a close race before for the Single's Choice Awards.

The recipient of the 2022 Single's Choice Gold Award is Tinder. Tinder received over 13.02% of the votes, followed by POF at 12.72% (Silver), and eHarmony at almost 11.83% (Bronze). The rest of the dating services vote percentage fell between 10.06% and 7.40%.

Here are this year's standings for the Single's Choice award for all dating services in the poll:

1. Tinder
2. POF (Plenty of Fish)
3. eHarmony
4. Match.com
5. Bumble
6. Hinge
7. OkCupid
8. Zoosk
9. Elite Singles
10. Badoo
