Having access to the internet means that you are exposed to different things.
But still, you have the opportunity to choose what you’ll be exposed to.
Of course, you’ll have the possibility to choose.
But first, you have to draw a comparison between those two things so you’ll be able to decide which one to choose.
You have heard about Bumble and Tinder, right?
What a ridiculous question. Of course you have!
Being two of the most popular dating apps on the network both Bumble and Tinder offer us easy access to the dating world.
Bumble and Tinder are dating apps that help us to find our significant other just by swiping right on them.
Both apps have a lot in common.
But the differences are what will make you decide which one to use.
Have you ever wondered which one is better?
Well, if so, here are the differences between Bumble and Tinder.
Bumble vs Tinder – User base
Bumble
The amount of people who use Bumble reaches 50 million users.
If we divide this number into gender-based users, we have a 50/50 ratio of men to women.
Yessss! You heard it right.
In Bumble men and women are equal. Meaning that there is an equal chance of finding someone that you’re interested in.
In Bumble the situations will be in men’s favor then they are on Tinder where are more men than women users.
But something that men don’t have in their hands is the first message.
Why is that?
That’s because in Bumble even though you’ll match, only women have the possibility to start the conversation.
And if they don’t text you within 24 hours, men, you’re out.
That’s the timeline that Bumble has put when it comes to messaging.
Tinder
Let us dive into Tinder users now.
There are 57 million people that are users of Tinder around the world.
With 50% of men and under 35% of women Tinder can be considered as the male-dominated app.
Wow, only 35% of women? How will the women survive though?
Okay, Okay. Calm down, ladies!
Let us see the bright side of it.
We all know that women are quite selective, right?
Hell yeah!
So, on Tinder, women will have the opportunity to be more selective.
Since there are a lot of men out there, I bet that you’ll definitely find your type for sure.
Even though you’ll be bombarded with messages it won’t be a big deal.
At the end of the day, you are here because you want to know somebody right?
Okay, so you’ll have the chance to step back and match with one of your many proposals.
See, it’s not scary!
Well, well, well.
Since the ladies will probably step back and wait who will swipe right on them it’s the gentleman’s job to start digging.
Digging? Yes, dude digging.
Women are as precious as diamonds.
It’s not easy to make them want you.
What I was saying is that, since men are a majority, they have to make the first move by swiping right one someone and open the conversation.
Women love to be the center of your attention.
And now you have the chance to give your attention to her.
Bumble vs Tinder – The Price
Both Bumble and Tinder are free to download and use.
You can match and start a conversation without having the need to pay for it.
This means that you’ll be using the free versions of the app and you won’t be able to use the premium features that these apps offer.
So, if you want to stay on the safe side and not pay anything you can use the free versions.
But if you want to do an upgrade and use the premium versions for a successful experience on Tinder, here you have the app’s pricing.
Tinder
We all know that being a regular user of Tinder you’ll be limited in your choices.
You want more features? That’s a Plus.
Tinder is a guilty pleasure.
Let’s move one.
Unlike Bumble, except the free version Tinder has two other premium versions:
Tinder price varies depending on the age of the users.
Interesting!
Tinder Plus costs $9.99 if you are younger than 30 years old.
Meanwhile, users who are 30 years or older will pay $19.99 for a Tinder Plus Subscription.
Tinder Gold costs $29.99 per month.
#Friendly reminder
You’ll have the possibility of a discount if you commit 6 or 7 months in the beginning.
If you choose this method of payment the price for Tinder Gold subscription will be:
- $12.50 for 6 months
- $10 for a year subscription.
Thank me later!
Bumble
Since now we know how much Tinder Plus and Gold costs. Let’s take a look at Bumble’s pricing.
Will you be surprised? Find your answer.
If you want to have access to the premium features of Bumble, you have to upgrade it to Bumble Boost.
Bumble Boost costs $9.99 per month.
With this price, you’ll get all the features that Bumble Boost offers to its users.
Features
The first thing that draws us towards a dating app is its features.
Hashtag fact!
If we want to be part of a particular app, we have to know what do these features offer us, and how can we use them in our benefits.
Both Bumble and Tinder added features and options which made the experience in these apps more exiting.
We all can notice the similarities that these apps have in between.
Let’s discuss some of the features that these apps have.
Tinder Boost vs Bumble Spotlight
Tinder
Even though they don’t have the same name, they’re quite similar.
Tinder Boost will make your profile to be seen 10x times more than regular.
It will make your profile to be on the top profiles of your area for 30 minutes.
In this way, you will have higher chances to be seen and get a match.
But that is not all.
If you are not happy with 30 minutes of attention Super Boost will sort that out!
Super Boost is another feature of Boost which will make your profile be seen 100x times more for 180 minutes.
It will be activated during the “hot” Tinder times. From 8 p.m to 11 p.m.
Bumble
Now you may ask, what about the Spotlight feature? What’s the difference?
Spotlight is the premium feature of Bumble.
Same as the Bumble Boost, the Spotlight feature will put your profile on top for 30 minutes.
But the only difference is that with Tinder Boost you can decide whether you want those 30 or 180 spotlight minutes.
Meanwhile, with the Spotlight feature, you don’t get to choose.
You’ll have 30 minutes only. Without having the opportunity to raise those minutes in your favor.
Bumble or Tinder for relationships
We know a lot of people who have found their love online.
Finding the love of your life online is as special as it is finding it in person.
You will create a special bond and be proud that you turned your relationship from being just a conversation in an app to the love of your life.
Goals!
Are you going to be one of them?
If yes, let’s see where do you have higher chances. Bumble or Tinder?
People have different opinions when being asked which one of the apps is better for relationships.
40% of US college students believe that Tinder is for hook ups, and Bumble is for dating.
Meanwhile, 54% of them say that there is no difference.
Everyone has their point of views and that does not mean we are trying to change that.
But let’s see what do we think.
Bumble
Bumble is considered to be mostly for relationships. However, there are still people who use it just to hook up but still it is considered more dating up than Tinder.
So, if you are looking to find someone that you could date and proudly present them to your family and friends, Bumble is the answer.
That’s because the number of users is 50/50 and only women have the right to send the first message.
A rule which gives the conversation a different vibe. More dating oriented.
Tinder
Everyone who uses Tinder knows that it is mostly for hook ups.
The fact that Tinder has 50% of male users makes it more obvious.
Since men are the ones who usually start the conversation, the language that they use is very provocative and an invitation for getting laid.
There could be guys who use this app for dating, but to be honest, it is not easy to distinguish their intentions.
Bumble vs Tinder – First conversation
Bumble
In Bumble women make the first move by messaging first.
They should send the first message within 24 hours after they match.
This prevents the women to get those creepy messages from men and allows them to come up with fun pick up lines instead of creepy ones.
Let us take a minute and appreciate this wonderful pick-up line from Bumble:
“Your eyes are really beautiful, and I just had to tell you.”
As can be noticed, women tend to use soft language towards men. Men, however, don’t do so.
But in a dating app as Bumble men tend to appreciate your kind words.
So, go girls, take your shot!
Tinder
Usually, on Tinder women get more offers for a date. It’s still unknown why.
Maybe it could be because of the high number of men in it.
Or maybe because men are just looking for somebody to go in a date with.
They tend to use provocative pick up lines to get what they want.
And if they see that the conversation is going well, they will ask you about your number as well.
They say Tinder is a numbers game… so can I get your number?”
This pick-up line can be often seen on Tinder.
And for your curiosity, it is having good results in getting matches.
Bumble or Tinder – User’s personalities
Bumble
In Bumble you can find people with a very high profile.
Bumble’s users usually are people with good looks, important jobs and very polite.
Users in Bumble are more selective about what they choose to be their date.
This a huge plus for a dating app.
Tinder
On the other hand, on Tinder, we have a different range of people.
You can find people who are interested in achieving their goals in life.
Like someone who could be career-oriented, good looking and with a great personality.
But you also can find people with completely opposite features.
With these huge differences, it is up to you to do the research part and find the person you are looking for.
Which other features does Tinder and Bumble offer?
Tinder
Tinder used to have a Tinder Social feature which allowed users to create a group of friends within the app.
This was a way of letting Tinder users chat, hang out, participate in group events with people from Tinder.
This was a great addition to the app, mostly for people who weren’t interested in dating.
But recently this feature was removed and now the app is completely dating/hook up oriented.
Bumble
Unlike Tinder, Bumble still has two other options that will let users interact with each other.
These two options are:
- Bumble BFF allows you to swipe for meeting new people you would want to hang out with and do activities with. It is a feature that will let you socialize with people without mixing it with relationships.
- Bumble Bizz is used to work and connect with professionals in your area for further professional collaboration by sharing and learning new ideas together. This feature is all career and business-oriented and it offers its users to get in touch with people with the same work aspirations.
Which one is better for hook up Tinder or Bumble?
When it comes to finding your significant other online, you have to be sure where to look up.
Your intentions change based on your interests.
Whether you are interested in a relationship or just for a hookup there are some things that you have to consider before going into it.
Read more information about the app in which you are interested.
Get ready and take notes.
We’re going to let you know where to start.
Bumble
In most of the cases, Bumble addresses itself as one of the best apps for relationships.
That can be because of the high number of women that are using the app.
Since the women have to do the first move and start the conversation, that we can’t help but notice that the conversation will be more dating oriented.
Tinder
Based on the huge number of men on Tinder, we can easily say that the app will be more for hookups.
Usually, users of Tinder tend to swipe right on someone based on their appearance.
This immediately prevents users to get to know each other first.
Instead, they jump to conclusions without even starting and they end up saying the last word in the beginning.
You’re more likely to find someone who is interested in a hookup on Tinder than on Bumble.
So, if you are looking for just a hookup, Tinder is the right app for you.
But if you’re searching for someone you can have a date and build a relationship with, Bumble is for you.
Bumble or Tinder: Which is best for men?
If you are a guy and you are wondering which one is for me? We have to stop you here.
You guys who are looking for women to build a relationship with or just for a hookup.
Tinder might be for you if you want to take things under your control and make the first move.
If you want to open the conversation with a killer line whether it is explicit or a regular one your place is on Tinder.
But if you prefer to sit back and wait to get the first message from someone who really likes you without attempting Bumble is ideal for you.
But wait! That’s not all!
We can not put y’all in one box.
If we would include all men in this answer gay men wouldn’t get a response at all.
For the gay fellas apps like Bumble and Tinder are not good enough.
Depending on what you’re looking for, here are 6 gay dating apps you could be in:
- Grindr
- Bicupid
- GayFriendFinder
- Manhunt
- Manjam.com
- Adam4Adam
After reading the comparison between Bumble and Tinder, the decision which one to use is yours to make.
Choose the one which feels like “home” to you and get yourself a match.
