Premium Features
  • Browse members
  • Swipe more than 30 profiles per day
  • Send messages
  • Add up to seven cards on your profile

While Kippo is technically a free dating app, it offers Kippo Infinity Subscription. When you activate Kippo Infinity, you can send unlimited messages, swipe more than 30 profiles per day, and add up to seven cards to your profile. We find that you can use Kippo on a free basis and it wouldn’t affect meeting new people as much. The only thing that gets affected is the number of messages you can send. With the subscription, you remove these browsing and messaging limitations.

Kippo Infinity costs USD10 for a month, USD37 for six months, and USD56 for a year. Comparing it with other dating apps, Kippo’s premium services are on the low end of the spectrum. The competition normally costs twice as much as Kippo is offering. It is indeed a good deal. If you deem Kippo Infinity to be a worthy investment, you are sure to enhance your experience without breaking the bank.

  • Most of the members are aged between 18 to 24
  • 40% of the members are female
  • Gained 45,000 members in the first eight months
  • Members are quite interactive
  • Focuses on the idea of making meaningful relationships through gaming

Founded in 2019 by David Park, Cheeyoon Lee, and Sean Suyeda, Kippo’s main goal is to help gamers connect with other games through their shared love for video games. The founders believe that the best way to interact online and get to know one another is to play video games together. It sure makes for a great ice breaker.

In over eight months since the app has been launched, Kippo has gained 45,000 members even without aggressive marketing campaigns. The predominant members are aged between 18 to 25, making the app’s member base a lot younger compared to others. It is also worth noting that 40% of the registered users are female.

It is also highly impressive that 93% of Kippo users go on virtual dates and play video games together before meeting in real life, effectively reduces the first date level of awkwardness. Ever since the lockdown due to the pandemic, the app’s activity has increased by 275%. This goes to show how dating is still possible even with social distancing measures in place.

  • You can only send one message per day on free account

Kippo has been revolutionizing dating since its launch in 2018. Free users can swipe up to 30 profiles and may opt to upgrade to premium to get more. Users can update and personalize their 'cards' to attract more attention from others. 

Since premium plans are affordable, most members are upgrading. However, the only downside of the app is that it has no video chat functionality. 

Free members can send one message per day to their matches. Premium members get unlimited messaging options.

Kippo Profile Quality

Kippo Profile
  • Express your personality through 'Cards'
  • Profiles show hobbies and interests
  • State your dating preferences
  • Upload up to four photos
  • There are fake profiles due to lack of verification
  • The profiles are quite detailed
  • The profile information can be changed later
  • Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free

You have to fill in your typical information such as age range, location range, and gender range. You have to upload four photos of yourself and you can also identify your gender orientation if you are bisexual, nonbinary, or open to dating anyone. The good thing about Kippo is its gender and sexuality inclusivity.

You can also indicate if you are looking for actual romance or if you are just looking for friends to hang with. If you don’t want to get unwelcome messages, you can always opt to lock your inbox.

What makes this dating app stand out from above the rest is its way of encouraging users to judge romantic capability based on how many potential matches like the certain game or hobby you want. Instead of looks being the primary reason for attraction, it becomes secondary to interests.

Profiles heavily feature cards that let you express who you are based on your “geeky” interests. These cards can show a myriad of things from the games you love, your horoscope, Meyer-Briggs type personality, and many more. Due to the app's lack of verification, fake profiles may be present.
