Our roadmap

Cupidate is now free to use. Meet people. Chat. Call. Connect. Accounts, profiles, photos, discovery, likes, matches, messaging, audio calls, video calls, random chat, notifications and every safety tool are open to everyone, with nothing to pay and no plans to choose.

• Live now — free dating, chat, audio and video calling across India and the UAE, with city and state selection at sign-up.
• Next — smarter discovery that learns what you like, better search and filters, and a cleaner first-week experience for new members.
• Soon after — more reliable video calling on mobile networks, richer profiles, and small touches that make conversations easier to start.
• Throughout — we listen to your feedback and adjust. Write to us any time through the contact page.

• Reporting, blocking and unmatching stay one tap away on every profile and chat.
• Photo privacy controls: show a photo to everyone, only to matches, or only to you.
• Profile verification so members can see who has confirmed they are a real person.
• Faster review of reported accounts, with repeat offenders removed from the community.
• Stronger detection of fake and suspicious accounts, and of anyone asking members for money.
• Clear call controls — end a call at any time, and no unwanted contact after it.
• Zero tolerance for nudity, sexual services, harassment and scams, as set out in our community guidelines.

These are extras that sit on top of the free profile everyone has today. Nothing you use now moves behind them.

• Extended profile — more photos, a longer "about me", prompts and answers, languages you speak, and what you are looking for.
• Profile spotlight — a limited-time boost that places your profile in front of more people in your city.
• Who liked you — see the members who already liked your profile instead of waiting for a match.
• Read receipts and typing status — optional for both sides, and always possible to turn off.
• Travel mode — browse and be seen in another city before you get there.
• Verified plus — a stronger verification badge with an extra identity check, aimed at women's confidence in who they are talking to.

• Compatibility scoring — ranking built on shared interests, city, activity and how people actually reply, not just on photos.
• Deeper filters — education, profession, languages, lifestyle habits, relationship intent and distance, for India and the UAE.
• Intent matching — tell us whether you are here for friendship, dating or something serious, and meet people who want the same.
• Daily curated picks — a small, hand-ranked set each day instead of an endless deck.
• Better random matching — preference-aware queues for chat, voice and video, with fewer repeats and faster connections.
• Women-first controls — choose who can message you, who can call you, and how visible you are, with every option free.

Not during this launch. Cupidate stays free while we grow the community in India and the UAE and make sure the experience is genuinely good. The stages below are targets, not promises — each one only begins when the stage before it is genuinely working.

• Stage 1 — free launch (now, through the first six months) — everything free while we grow the community across India and the UAE. No prices, no plans, no payment screens anywhere in the app.
• Stage 2 — review (after the free launch) — we look at whether people are finding real matches and coming back, publish what we learned here, and complete our business, payment and compliance setup.
• Stage 3 — optional premium (only after stage 2) — the premium profile and advanced matching extras above become available as an optional membership. The dating experience you use today stays free.
• Stage 4 — creator earnings (later, and only where permitted) — paid calls and gifts return only in places where we are fully licensed to handle payments and payouts, with clear rules and no earning promises made to women.

You will get at least 30 days' notice on this page and by email before anything becomes paid, and nothing you already use will start charging you without you choosing it.
