Frustrated with dating apps, singles are turning to high-end matchmaking services, which are seeing growing demand and sales, with the trend driven by “app fatigue” and a desire for meaningful connections, with clients willing to pay for a more personalized and curated approach to finding a romantic partner, Bloomberg’s Ignacio Gonzalez and Lara Sanli report. Matchmakers offer personalized services, vetting clients and pairing them based on preferences, and providing guidance on first dates, for a premium price that can reach six figures. Paying users at Match Group’s (MTCH) Tinder has declined for eight consecutive quarters, and the business isn’t expected to return to revenue growth until 2027, the report notes. Other companies in the dating app sector include Bumble (BMBL) and Grindr (GRND).
