Zoosk vs Match - Which is the better dating site to find true love?

Carousel is Zoosk’s main matchmaking feature. It presents you the members through a roulette, who you can send flirts to or skip if you’re not into them.

When you do things such as send a message, accept a connection, or express interest in someone, Zoosk’s Behavioural Matchmaking™ engine learns more about your preferences. The site then uses this information to help introduce you to other users who it thinks you’ll be interested in.

The more you use Zoosk, the more information it has to help recommend better matches and SmartPick™ introductions. Make sure to respond before time runs out or else your SmartPick™ introduction will disappear.

Zoosk collects data on your activity to give you insights regarding who you like, who likes you, and your dating style. You can use these dating insights to learn about what type of people you’re likely to attract, what you tend to have in common with the people you’re attracted to, and much more!

Adding someone as a connection lets him or her know you’re interested in them. Anytime you send a smile or a heart and they respond back, they automatically become a connection. Labeling someone as a connection is like putting them on your ‘Favourites’ list.

Super Send allows you to send a flirty message to many people at once. Zoosk provides you with some pre-written messages so you wouldn’t have to think about what to say.

Boost increases your visibility to make even more connections. It is a great way to get noticed by other Zoosk members, but it is a paid feature.

Discover shows you profiles that can potentially be your perfect match. The website provides daily top picks of profiles based on online activity, recent likes, and match criteria. 

The 'Live' tab has separate rooms called 'Let's Talk'. The 'Let's Talk' rooms let you talk with all Match singles through voice and video calls. The rooms vary in topics and niches. In these rooms, you are identified by your username, age, city, and profile picture.

Match offers a unique interactive music quiz every Wednesday from 8 pm to 10 pm. When a member joins, their music skills are tested by guessing the artist or the title of the songs played. Members can play in group chats, private chats, or even both. 

Match events are a natural extension of the website's online dating service and are designed to provide members with the best possibility of finding someone special. When you arrive at the event night, one of their staff will meet you and take your name before asking you to fill out a simple questionnaire. Then you'll be told more about the night and any deals that may be going on.

Shuffle's goal is to shake things up a little by giving you profiles you wouldn't ordinarily view. It's a pleasant way to meet new people, including those seeking someone like you, and it could surprise you. You can either click 'Yes' if you like a profile or click 'No' to pass. Liked profiles will be saved so you can check out the profiles and connect with the members. 

Match and Affiny are two distinct dating services in the Match family, each giving a unique approach to the same aim—meeting someone special. Match allows you to search for dates based on parameters such as age, geography, and attractiveness to discover the right person for you. On Affiny, you take a personality test, and the site matches you with people who are compatible with you.

'Boost' is Match dating’s add-on special feature that puts your profile on top of the search results. This feature can last for several hours depending on how busy the site is and how many members will view your profile. 

Incognito also allows you to surf Match anonymously, viewing as many profiles as you like without the other users knowing. You will not be displayed in search results, but users with whom you have already engaged will be able to see you in their messages and lists.

Simply click the ghost icon at the top of any Match page to engage in Incognito mode for 24 hours or longer.

The 'Views' tab shows you all the members who viewed your profile. Standard members can only see blurred profile information, so upgrading to premium is a must if you really want to unlock your viewers. 

'Likes' is a tab that lists all the Match members you like as well as the members who like you. Seeing who likes you is a paid feature.

Premium members can communicate with other users through the voice-call function. To activate the voice-call feature, members need to send a message first. 

Have fun and intimate virtual dates with your matches using this feature. You can talk to them using the platform's video-calling feature. Similar to the voice-call feature, video dates require an exchange of messages first before activating this function. 

Members can send songs to other profiles for more romantic dating experiences. Sending a song requires a premium membership. 

Connect enhances your Match experience by allowing you to meet more individuals and get more messages. Message any member, even if they don't have a Match subscription. Other users who have recently joined will see your profile first. Take note that the Connect Upgrade is not accessible with iTunes subscriptions.

The Select upgrade puts you in charge of your Match experience, allowing you to meet the appropriate singles in your own unique way. You can track whether or not individuals read the messages you send. You may use the Contact Filter to narrow down who you want to hear from by age, region, and other factors.

To use the Select upgrade, you must have a Match membership. Please keep in mind that the Select upgrade is not accessible with iTunes subscriptions.

The Contact Filter ensures that you only hear from individuals who are of interest to you. When you activate the filter, only those who meet the filters you specify will be able to contact you on the site. As a result, you may be confident that they are a good fit for you.

A Love Note allows you to send love messages, which can be personal, romantic or funny – or all three at once. This feature allows even singles without a subscription to start a conversation.
