Tinder brand profile in the U.S.

Tinder is one of the leading dating services in the U.S., where the Los Angeles-based brand enjoys an awareness rate of 85 percent and is used by around one-third of dating services users. Among Gen Z, that share is even higher. Overall, our brand KPIs for Tinder clearly show that the online dating service appeals better to younger consumers than to older generations.

Tinder exhibits an impressive awareness rate among U.S. online dating users. Its popularity and usage both stand above 30 percent in that audience. However, its loyalty and buzz ratings indicate room for improvement.

Life values

Being successful is more important for Tinder users

Users of the online dating service Tinder, compared to the non-users, are almost equally likely to prioritize a happy relationship, but are more focused on being successful and advancing their career. While both groups value an honest and respectable life, non-users are slightly more likely to prioritize it. Interestingly, social justice and traditions are among the least important aspects for both audiences, with Tinder users showing slightly lower interest in both aspects.
