OKCupid
OKCupid is said to use a comprehensive profile system which involves multiple questions. This helps determine how much a person match with another user. Its app interface is also quite easy to use as it's got the similar swiping gesture that Tinder has been known for.
Tinder

The concept of Happn is quite unique. It's one of the dating apps that we can say, roots from a hopeless romantic idea. Basically, Happn shows you the set of people whom you have actually crossed paths with during the entirety of your day.
Lulu
Lulu is not quite a conventional dating app. Instead, it is an app that lets girls rate the men they know. The rating is done anonymously and the guys are all the men that the girls have known through Facebook. Technically, the scoring is a simple scaling of one to ten.
