Best dating apps in India

Which apps have an India App Store listing

An iTunes lookup of the India App Store on November 5, 2026 found listings for sixteen reviewed apps, among them Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Feeld, Grindr, Pure, HUD, Ashley Madison and Match. Hornet, Taimi, 3Fun and The League are the smaller apps with a listing. The lookup returned none for Coffee Meets Bagel, eharmony, Zoosk, Fling, OurTime, Lex, Hily and Doublelist. Those eight results are store checks for one storefront on one date.

The lookup covers the iPhone App Store only. Google Play and web availability by country cannot be checked this way, and an app or site that serves India only through a browser has no store page to find. AdultFriendFinder, BeNaughty and Sniffies are web-first in that sense, and dating sites without an app download covers the group.

Best dating apps in India: what the first Google results name

The first Google India results page for "best dating apps in india" holds eight results. Two are ranking lists and one is a forum thread; none sits on an Indian domain. Tinder, Bumble and Hinge are named in both lists, and a fourth app appears once. Two lists are a thin sample. The results are in English, and searches in local languages were not run.

The wider rankings are on the best dating apps overall, and the hookup-intent version is our hookup app ranking. City pages sit under dating apps by city.

Dating apps blocked in India

India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology blocked 43 apps on November 24, 2020 under Section 69A of the IT Act, and 15 of them were dating apps: We Date, Singol, TrulyChinese, TrulyAsian, ChinaLove, DateMyAge, AsianDate, FlirtWish, Guys Only Dating, Rela, Soul, Chinese Social, Date in Asia, First Love Live and Adore App. Business Today, which reported the order, quotes the stated ground as "engaging in activities which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India" and says the order relied on reports of the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre.

None of the 15 is among the apps in the store check above. The article is from 2020, and whether each of the 15 is still blocked is not covered by it.

Age rules and India's data protection rules

India notified the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules 2025 in mid-November 2025. Biometric Update, reporting on November 17, 2025, says the children's consent rule takes effect 18 months after notification, around May 2027: a service must get verifiable parental consent before processing the personal data of anyone under 18. Reports differ by a day on the notification date, so only the month is stated here.

The article does not mention dating apps. Whether the rule reaches them, and how an app would apply it, is not stated in the sources checked.

Dating app prices on the India App Store

Every price here is an iPhone App Store row for India, in INR, and each app appears at its cheapest listed row. Only some listings state a billing period.

Four rows state a period. Bumble's cheapest row is Bumble 1 Day Unlimited Votes at INR 9 for 1 day on the India App Store, a one-day product. On the India App Store, happn lists a 1 Week subscription at INR 99 and HUD Premium is INR 149 for 1 week. Feeld Membership is INR 329 for 1 week on the India App Store, more than three times happn's weekly row.

The other twelve rows give no period. On the India App Store, Tinder Plus is INR 99, SCRUFF Pro INR 199, Pure Membership INR 249 and Grindr XTRA INR 299. The highest rows on the India App Store are Plenty of Fish Upgrade at INR 1,499, Down VIP at INR 1,199 and Hinge Subscription at INR 869. Tinder Plus matches happn's weekly amount, but without a stated period the two cannot be set side by side. Google Play and web prices are not covered. More price pages sit under how dating app pricing works.
