My Cupid Dates vs Tinder: which suits you?
Tinder is the swipe app most people already know, built around photos and a quick yes or no. My Cupid Dates is a dating site where a written profile and a message still come first.
Choose Tinder if you want a familiar swipe app and a very large, casual-friendly pool. Choose My Cupid Dates if you would rather write a profile, send a message, and take the conversation at your own pace.

Quick questions
Is My Cupid Dates cheaper than Tinder?
Joining My Cupid Dates is free, and VIP is optional. The other site sets its own prices, which can change. Compare the upgrade screen with their public pricing before you pay.
Can I use both?
Yes. Many people try more than one site. If you do, use a different photo set and do not copy your messages word for word.
