According to Yahoo Finance, Hinge is currently live in US, UK, Canada, Australia, and India. And According to monthly active users data from App Ape, Hinge is on track with having fastest growing users in USA. It grew to nearly a million users in January 2020 from only hovering around +100K users at the beginning of 2019.
Demographics are key indicators for successful dating apps use cases. In the case of Hinge, demographics appear to be 64% male to 36% female users in terms of possession. This could likely be one of the key points for Hinge’s higher user base growth rate. Such kind of gender division meant that more people using Hinge might have higher chances of instantly matching with a partner they liked than they might have on other dating apps with a different ratio.
2:1 ratio in Hinge might seem unimpressive at first, but the full picture emerges when this ratio is compared to OkCupid and Tinder. The below chart taken from App Ape shows that both OkCupid and Tinder have higher unequal distribution of gender ratio than that of Hinge.
OkCupid dethroned by Hinge
The below monthly active users (MAU) line chart shows that OkCupid was dethroned by Hinge very recently. There is also a sudden dip in OkCupid’s monthly active users which is caused by its own hands.

In response, some users have critiqued the new policy as a violation of privacy as they felt that this update might have made it easier for anyone to target them off of the dating platform and have quitted OkCupid in search of other secure dating platforms.
As mentioned earlier, even though Tinder is still far ahead of Hinge in terms of user base, Hinge could likely be the one to overtake Tinder, assuming that its current rate of growth will continue for a certain amount of time throughout this year.

Another likely key reason for Hinge’s dominance in this category is due to its emphasis on protecting privacy and data security related issues. A study conducted by Ghostery and published by Vox revealed that prominent datings sites including Tinder and OkCupid have trackers from Facebook and Google on these websites. Trackers can reveal data about a user and can be used extensively for target advertising.
As seen from the above example of OkCupid, people are wary about their private data being online and are willing to search for a secure platform. To mitigate this issue, Hinge CEO suggested that their highest priority is to take data related security and privacy seriously and curb potential data breaches of its users’ data (Yahoo Finance). This initiative might have attracted more users to Hinge knowing that their data is at least being protected to a certain level.
