Tawkify

Many singles who are looking for a lasting relationship and are left cold by surface-level dating apps have considered using a professional matchmaking service. However, the matchmaking industry’s typically high price tag is often a barrier, with services sometimes costing $50,000 or more. Tawkify aims to address this barrier. Launched in 2012 as a more affordable option to traditional matchmaking, Tawkify has an impressive track record of creating more than 200,000 strong relationships. The company has paired 80% of clients in relationships within their first 12 matches. 

Tawkify’s curated matchmaking service is confidential, and to properly vet singles, the company conducts lengthy background checks and video screens of all clients.

Pros:

• Guaranteed matches
• Top-rated matchmaking service, according to customer reviews
• 80% success rate
• Personalized nationwide service, including local matchmaking
• Dating network of over 1.4 million relationship-ready singles

Cons:

• No free trial period
• No international dating

How the Matchmaking Process Works

Tawkify only works with clients they believe they can match. To get started, complete their quick online questionnaire, and if Tawkify thinks they can help you in your quest for love, you’ll chat with a client specialist to learn more about the matchmaking process. 

Prior to planning any dates, Tawkify pairs clients with a dedicated matchmaker who will set up a one-on-one conversation with you to learn about your relationship history, values, and what you’re looking for in a match. Every Tawkify client undergoes a background check and live video screening so that matchmakers can gauge fit beyond a simple profile.

The matching service is tailored to each client, including unique pre-planned dating experiences. Personalized coaching is part of the matching process.

After each date, you’ll give your matchmaker feedback. Your time commitment, aside from attending the dates, is minimal. A company representative told us that clients should prepare to go on at least one date per month, plus any follow-up dates with candidates they want to see again.

Who Can Use Tawkify?

The majority of Tawkify clients and daters are between the ages of 30 and 65, though they’ve successfully matched others outside this age range. When asked about Tawkify’s ideal client, a representative told us they work with “any single adult who is ready to find their person and focus on growing in relationship with that right person. Being open to the process and ready to collaborate, learn and grow is an ideal start.” 

The company spokesperson says it’s not uncommon for clients to have rigid expectations of who their “perfect” match will be, but matchmakers recommend clients stay open to the matching process. Those who are unsure about who they could be happy with often benefit from coaching geared toward questioning unexamined romantic assumptions and learning from past relationship patterns that were unhelpful or unhealthy.

Tawkify is available in all 50 states. Like most matchmaking services, professional matchmakers can pull from a database of singles for clients who reside in various locations. If you’re interested in dating people who live outside of your home city, you’ll need to choose the VIP membership.

Tawkify Costs

Tawkify has three membership levels that vary in price from $99 to $4,000 or more, depending on the number of matches you select. All matchmaking services include background checks and video screens for every match as well as relationship tips and event invites. Clients can upgrade to VIP for a more curated experience.

Tawkify Complaints

Tawkify maintains one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings in the industry, so complaints about the company are admittedly hard to find. Nearly 6,000 clients have reviewed Tawkify on Trustpilot—the average review is 4.6. Happy customers praise Tawkify’s matchmakers for taking the time to truly understand their dating needs, with one reviewer describing “A much different experience over traditional dating websites.”

Less-than-stellar reviews mention a high price point, with one reviewer claiming to have been told: “I really needed to get a VIP membership in order to get the matches that were more suited for me for quality matches.” Tawkify responded by reiterating its lower-priced packages.

Several reviews discussed disappointment in not finding quality matches, and some mentioned having to cross state lines to date after experiencing issues finding local daters in New York City. However, these sentiments are common in the matchmaking industry, and not unique to Tawkify alone.
