An example, built from the real step weights. How a score adds up
Verified, every step

Verified means you see the checks.

Verified on HoopFrog is not a badge. Every profile shows what has been checked, added up in a public Trust Score you see before you say hello.

A Trust Score you can read.Every profile shows a Trust Score out of 100. It goes up as a member completes the checks below and fills out their profile, and you can see which ones are done before you say hello. Phone and age are required of everyone. These are safeguards, not guarantees, and we say so plainly.
PhoneConfirmed by code. Required before anyone can like or message.
EmailConfirmed by link.
Age18 and over, with a third-party age check where the law requires it.
PhotosScreened automatically at upload. A photo that does not pass is sent back to try again, or held for a person to review.
Live selfieOptional for most members. A live selfie is compared with the profile photo, and we may ask some members to complete it before their profile is shown.
Friend's vouchA friend writes a short testimonial that shows on the profile.
LocationOptional. We confirm the area a member says they live in, so “nearby” means nearby. Completing it raises the Trust Score.
Voice greetingOptional. A short recording, up to thirty seconds, so people can hear a real voice before they connect. Completing it raises the Trust Score.
Video greetingOptional. A short recording on camera, so people can see who they are speaking with. Completing it raises the Trust Score.

A complete profile counts too: the questionnaire, a filled-in profile and three or more photos.

How It Works

Three simple steps to a first conversation

Join free

Create your profile and answer the values and lifestyle questionnaire. It takes minutes, and your answers power the compatibility score you see on every profile.

Build your Trust Score

Confirm your phone and email and give your date of birth. Photos are screened at upload, the live selfie is optional, and a friend can vouch for you. Each check shows on your profile. Phone and age are required of everyone, and the rest add up to a public Trust Score you see on every profile.

Discover and talk

Browse at your own pace, see how well you fit, connect on what matters, and start the conversation right in the app. No swiping, no number swapping.

Why HoopFrog

Built for how you actually date

Most apps are built to keep you swiping. HoopFrog is built to get you talking with people who fit your life.

Verified means visible.

Verified on HoopFrog is not a badge. Every profile shows what has been checked: phone, email, age, photos, the optional live selfie, and a friend's vouch, with everything beyond the required phone and age added up in a public Trust Score you see before you say hello.

Compatibility You Can See

A values and lifestyle questionnaire powers a clear compatibility breakdown, dimension by dimension. Discover people who fit your life, not just your type.

Trust You Can Measure

Every profile carries a public Trust Score from 0 to 100, built from the checks a member has done and how complete their profile is. Read it before you say hello.

Voice & Video, Built In

Voice greetings and video intros with captions are free, so people can hear and see you before you meet. In-app voice and video calls come with VIP, and a VIP can call any connection, even one on the free plan. No number swapping, no app switching.

App That Knows When to Stop

Set your own daily limit. Because doom-scrolling profiles isn't actually dating.

First Message? Handled.

Not sure what to say? Pick a ready-made icebreaker or write your own. With VIP, the opener you add to a Like goes out the moment you connect.

Nudges when a chat goes quiet.

Our nudge system keeps conversations alive when things go quiet. When people are waiting on your reply, we ask you to answer before you like someone new, and you can always close a chat with a kind goodbye instead of silence. If a conversation stays one-sided, we close it gently so nobody is left waiting.

No Swiping, Ever

Our Glow Interaction System replaces the swipe. You see one profile at a time and choose with clear buttons: Pass, Like, or Flare, with Undo if you change your mind. Flare is a limited, high-signal like that tells someone they truly stood out.

Filter by What Matters

Narrow your discovery with lifestyle and values filters, so the people you see line up with how you actually live. Focus on compatibility, not just who is nearby.

Location confirmed badge

Members can confirm they are near the city shown on their profile and earn an optional location confirmed badge, so you have more confidence that someone is really where they say they are. You can also ask a connection to confirm their location or do a selfie check, right from your chat.

Meet in Real Life

Beyond the app, we host local HoopFrog events from time to time. When one is coming up near you, you can reserve a spot and meet people face to face.

Your Data. Not For Sale.

Messages encrypted in transit and at rest. We do not sell your data to advertisers or data brokers. Choose who can see your profile, pause your account when you need a break, or go Invisible to browse on your own terms. Your love life isn't an ad target.

Your Safety

Safety isn't a feature.
It's the foundation.

A verified phone number is required before anyone can send you a message.
Profile and gallery photos are screened before they appear.
The selfie check is optional for most members: a live selfie is compared with the member's own profile photo, and every profile shows which checks are done.
We never create profiles, use AI personas, or message you from automated accounts.
Only people you have connected with can send you a message. You both have to say yes first.
Photos can't be sent in private messages, so nobody can send you an image you didn't ask for.
Messages are checked for common scam patterns. If one turns up, the person receiving it gets a quiet warning.
Not sure about someone? “Am I being scammed?” asks a few short questions and gives you a plain answer.
Messages with serious threats are held back for review before they reach you.
Block or report anyone from their profile or your chat. Once you block someone, they can't reconnect with you.
Your exact location is never shown. Profiles show your area, and map positions are shifted.
Protect your account with two-step sign-in, using an authenticator app or a text code.

These are safeguards, not guarantees. The checks show what a member has done; they do not confirm real-world identity or prevent all misrepresentation, and we do not run criminal background checks.

Questions

The things people ask before joining

Is HoopFrog free to use?

Yes. HoopFrog offers a free plan that lets you create a profile, browse connections, and connect with other singles. Messaging is with every connection you make. VIP adds message reactions, seeing everyone who liked you, unlimited likes, private photos and a 20-photo gallery, voice notes, voice and video calls, 5 Flares a day, Do Not Disturb for calls, Invisible, read receipts control, and unlimited dealbreakers, for US$14.99 per 30 days (CA$19.99 in Canada, €15.99 in euro countries, MX$249 in Mexico).

How is HoopFrog different from other dating apps?

HoopFrog uses a values-based compatibility score instead of swipe mechanics. Every profile shows which checks are done and a public Trust Score, messages are encrypted in transit and at rest, we never sell data, and voice and video calls are built in with VIP. We are a Canadian company based in Alberta.

What does HoopFrog do to make dating safer?

HoopFrog uses visible profile checks, phone confirmation before liking or messaging, photo screening, optional live-selfie verification, encrypted messages and reporting tools to help make dating safer. These safeguards reduce risk, but no dating service can guarantee another person's identity, intentions or behaviour.

Does HoopFrog have a mobile app?

HoopFrog is available as a web app and an Android app. The web app works on any device with a modern browser.
