Are there any apps like the old OkCupid?

Firefly is the closest currently shipping. By its own description it runs compatibility quizzes across categories such as personality, lifestyle and love style, lets you rate how important each quiz is to you, and produces a match percentage from that — the same three-part mechanic old OkCupid used. It also browses as a filterable grid rather than a swipe feed and keeps long written profile sections. Two apps often listed alongside it, Qulo and Solvemate, work differently: you write your own questions and a stranger must answer them correctly to open a chat, with no shared question bank, no weighting and no compatibility percentage.

Does OkCupid still have the questions?

Yes. The question bank still exists and the match percentage is still calculated, and answering more questions still sharpens it. What changed is everything around them: browsing is now primarily a swipe interface rather than a searchable grid, the long-form profile essays were removed in 2023, and some depth features were reintroduced in 2025 after user complaints. The engine is still in there — what went is the ability to sit and read, which for this audience was most of the point.

What is the difference between a quiz app and a question-scoring app?

Whether the questions measure you or gate you. Old OkCupid's mechanic was a shared bank plus importance weighting plus a two-way percentage, so the number reflected how well each person met the other's stated requirements. Apps like Qulo and Solvemate instead have you write your own questions, which a stranger must answer correctly before a chat opens. That is a legitimate design and it filters for effort, but there is no shared bank, no weighting and no score, so anyone arriving expecting a compatibility percentage will not find one.

On Chemistry Dating, matching, messaging and the compatibility score are free, as is the mutual photo reveal; there is an optional Premium tier and advertising on the free tier. Qulo states its core features are free with optional Plus and Premium tiers. The one to check carefully is eHarmony: it has a long questionnaire and does score compatibility, but it has been widely reported that a mutual match is still unusable if the other person has not paid, so a subscription can buy a queue rather than a conversation. Confirm that in-app before committing to a prepaid term.

How can a small app have enough people?

Often it cannot, and this is the objection that decides everything else. A small app works in a dense city, when your age band is well represented, and when you can let a smaller pool refill over weeks. It does not work in a small town or when you need results this month, and no algorithm fixes that — matching quality and pool size are separate problems. Firefly, Qulo and Solvemate are all indie apps with installs in the thousands rather than the millions, and Chemistry Dating is a small app too. Keep the big app installed while you try a small one, give it a week of real effort, and check whether anyone within a sensible distance is actually active.

App come il vecchio OkCupid: dove vive oggi il matching per domande

Il vecchio OkCupid ti valutava su un archivio di domande con pesi. Quali app lo fanno nel 2026, quali sembrano solo farlo, e il problema della massa critica.

Old OkCupid combined three things that are now split apart: a large bank of questions everyone answered, importance weighting so you said which answers mattered, and a percentage match calculated from both. In 2026 OkCupid itself still has the questions and the match percentage but browses like a swipe app, and its long-form profile essays were removed in 2023. Of the small apps often recommended as replacements, Firefly is the closest structural match — quiz categories, importance ratings, percentage scores and grid browsing — while Qulo and Solvemate use questions as a gate rather than a measure: you write your own, and a stranger has to answer them correctly before a chat opens. Chemistry Dating scores a quiz of up to 29 questions across fourteen compatibility traits, and shows no photos until both people choose to reveal.

Chemistry Dating è una piattaforma di incontri in cui la personalità viene prima: i membri si conoscono attraverso la conversazione, non le foto. Iscrizione gratuita, disponibile in 10 lingue, con abbinamenti basati su un quiz di personalità di 29 domande, 12 delle quali all'iscrizione, valutato su 14 tratti come energia sociale, stile comunicativo, gestione dei conflitti, umorismo, valori e stile di vita.
