I would love it if you could please thumbs up this video and definitely hit subscribe and ring the bell to see more content from Online For Love. The first of five aspects I'm going to cover when comes to comparing Match and eHarmony. We're going to talk about how easy it is, or not easy, to use them. The great news is that Match and eHarmony both have excellent user-friendly interfaces on both web and apps. It's easy to access Match and eHarmony from any device that you own and they're really smooth on no matter what device you choose to use. eHarmony is actually beautifully designed and it's more minimalistic than Match, which actually makes it easier to use, especially for those who are new to the online dating world. After you set up and create your profile, basically it's hands-off and letting the app do everything for you. You do have plenty of search options on eHarmony, but the main draw to the platform is its innovative matching technology that doesn't require you to do any of that extra work. The focus of eHarmony is more on your matches and your messages rather than further customization. Basically, eHarmony doesn't mess around when it comes to finding you your perfect match. They pretty much know what you want and they're going to try their best to give it to you. Match is also a very easily understandable and user-friendly app and website. The app looks great and anything you need is clearly labeled and easy to find. There are more options when it comes to Match's design on its app or website, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's always harder for people to learn. Match has taken the abundance of options and laid them out in an organized way for any user to understand easily. And yeah, abundance of choice is definitely the phrase to use when it comes to talking about Match's interface. All of the perks of your membership are laid out as well as so many possible customizations when it comes to your search criteria. Unlike eHarmony, which does most of its matchmaking work with the extensive questionnaires, Match relies heavily on its customization tools. eHarmony is better if you just want to find the one you're looking for right away, but if you want to fool around and search for a million different types of people, then Match, I guess, would be better. Although, I guess if you're paying for membership for either of these sites, you're probably not looking to fool around, so I would still give the edge to eHarmony. If you want even more information about what I'm talking about in this video, there is a link in the description below and maybe popping up here now. It's actually this video in article form, but there's so much more information there. You get crafts, more in-depth information, and all up-to-date numbers and news, all free, and it gives you way more insight than I'm giving you right now. It doesn't matter how popular any site is if there's no success story, so who has the better one? Without a question, Match.com and eHarmony are both two of the most popular dating websites in the whole world. Both dating platforms have over 15 million users and have members in different countries. Match does have a slight edge on this though because of the abundance of countries they offer their website in and the abundance of languages they offer it in too. eHarmony is proud to share that they are responsible for over 438 marriages every single day in the U.S. Put another way, eHarmony claims to be responsible for 4% of all of the marriages in the United States. Now, the type of matches that you get in eHarmony are really catered to your specific needs and preferences. This is because of eHarmony's famous unique matching system. The matches that you get in eHarmony are fewer, but they're more likely to be more compatible with you. Unlike eHarmony, Match does not give out specific figures, numbers, percentages when it comes to the amount of matches or marriages or successes that they have. They do state, however, that they have inspired twice as many marriages as the next leading online dating site. With the abundance of success stories about Match.com all over the internet and the fact that it is the oldest dating website in the world, it's not an unbelievable claim. Approximately 38% of the members of Match.com state that the way that they find their matches on the site is through the search options that they have and the ways that they can customize their ideal type. This is because eHarmony pretty much sends you your most compatible matches, where on Match, you really do have to utilize those search preferences in order to find your most compatible match. It's difficult to declare an absolute winner when it comes to the better success rate between Match and eHarmony, since Match doesn't give out all the details and specific percentages and everything of the successes that eHarmony does. So for this one, it's just going to have to be a tie. Now, let's compare the unique features of eHarmony versus Match.com. Starting with eHarmony, probably the best and most special and unique feature that eHarmony offers is its extensive personality analysis and matching system. eHarmony helps their users find their perfect match through their advanced algorithm that utilizes 29 dimensions of compatibility. Did you even know there were 29 dimensions of compatibility? Because I didn't. This results in a long list of likes, dislikes, traits, personality types that will help you find and connect with similar people. They decide which matches show up for you based off of your personality profile. They're basically saying that they know what you want, and usually they're right. So Match is different than eHarmony in the way that you are really the one pulling the reins. Match allows for more options when it comes to search specifics, and depending on your membership, you can even Match also boasts a wealth of special features like you can even call a dating coach like on the phone to give you personalized tips, and you can have your profile reviewed by a Match.com expert. They even have specialized videos on the app that you can watch helping you deal with all sorts of aspects of online dating. Basically, features is Match.com's middle name. But is that necessarily a good thing? Maybe the reason why eHarmony can easily boast about its success rate is that it eliminates the endless options and overthinking that are prevalent on most dating apps. Well, whether or not it's better for your overall love life in the long term, Match.com definitely has way more features than eHarmony.

Click the link in the description. You will not regret checking out the website. Match.com and eHarmony have some similarities when it comes to their signup processes, but also some differences. The good news is that both sites are LGBTQ friendly, although Match has been for longer than eHarmony. You can search for same or opposite sex partners on each of the apps. On both websites, you can customize your profile and change your search settings, although Match does have more search settings to choose from. Let's start by talking about eHarmony's signup process. Before you can even sign up to pay for a membership or anything or get your profile filled out on eHarmony, you have to go through quite a long questionnaire all about your personality, likes, dislikes, traits, what you're looking for in a partner, and even some kind of abstract questions. It could easily take up to an hour to sign up for eHarmony, and this is before you even have to decide which membership tier you're going to join, if you're going to join a membership at all, and it's before setting up your profile, your photos, all that. eHarmony definitely has the longer signup process, but once you get through it and you've got all the questions filled out and your profile ready and your membership picked out, it's actually less work for you in the long term because you've done all of it right there at the beginning. Match isn't that far off, it also has its own questionnaire, and plus you still have to figure out which tier of membership you want, which you have double the amount to think about, and all this little stuff, so it's actually a tie for the amount of time and, I guess, difficulty of the signup. Finally, let's talk about one of the most important things when it comes to deciding which dating app you are going to get, which is the cost of memberships. So both Match and eHarmony can be used for free, but mostly what you're going to want to do is pay for memberships for both of these websites because otherwise you severely inhibit your online dating experience, and it's honestly pretty difficult to find success on either of the sites without paying. I actually had this opinion that if there's a paywall and people are willing to get past that, they're serious about love because they're investing in their love life, and that the prices I'm about to mention are accurate only at the time of filming this. If you want to make sure that you know the most up-to-date information and the most up-to-date numbers how much it costs for either of these sites at any given time, definitely check out the link in the description. We have this eHarmony versus Match comparison in article form, and in the article in Online for Love, it's always being updated with the current numbers and prices. Link in the description or above me right now. Match actually offers more choices of premium plans than eHarmony does. They offer three standard plans and three premium plans. Standard plans go like this. You can pay for three months of their standard plan for $21.99 per month, or you could pay for six months of their standard plan at $18.99 per month, or finally you could pay for 12 months of their standard plan for $17.99 per month. Their premium plans are of course a little bit pricier, with their most expensive being three months of premium for $24.99 per month, then their most popular plan which is six months of premium for $21.99 a month, then their best deal of all which is 12 months of premium at $18.99 per month. So not cheap. As for eHarmony, there are less choices for your plans. You can choose between three premium plans. Their premium light plan lasts for six months at $17.90 a month. Their premium plus plan lasts for 12 months at $11.90 a month, or you could get their premium extra plan which lasts the longest at 24 months for $7.90 a month. If you're in this for the long haul, then eHarmony definitely has the better pricing. However, if you don't want to commit to something so long term, Match might actually be the better option for you because you can pay for just a three month membership. Comparing the six and 12 months options though, it's very clear to see that Match.com is definitely more expensive. Basically, the cheapest subscription price per month for Match.com is $17.99, while the cheapest membership price for eHarmony is $7.90, so quite a difference. So clearly, eHarmony definitely wins this round as the cheaper of the two dating options. By the way, if you want to become a member on either of these sites for any tier, definitely click our link in the description to get up to 25% off and save yourself some money. So now time for the final verdict. Well, eHarmony has the better user interface. Both Match and eHarmony probably have the both same high level of success rate, although eHarmony is the only one that freely gives out that information. Match has more unique features and it also has a quicker sign-in time, although eHarmony arguably has the more efficient sign-up process for the long term. And Match is definitely more expensive than eHarmony. So time for the final verdict. Which site do I prefer? eHarmony. If you're done playing games and you seriously are ready to settle down and you're just ready for eHarmony to give you your love on a silver platter, then it really is the website for you. It's efficient and to the point and it works. But that's just me. What do you think? Have you tried either of these websites? Is eHarmony actually just dated? Is Match worth the price?
