Most dating apps lose track of you the moment a meeting is scheduled. Chem IRL asks the question every dating app should: did it happen?
A match is a connection two people consented to. Chem IRL doesn't paywall it — premium pays for tools, never for the right to message.
Most apps treat flaking as the user's problem. Chem IRL treats it as a system problem — and the cost shows up in matches you'll never see.
Most dating apps treat blocking as a soft mute. Chem IRL treats it as a hard primitive — and identity verification is what makes it stick.
Most apps make signup easy and cancellation hard. Chem IRL does the opposite — and sends a reminder before any renewal.
Pure algorithmic moderation misses what matters most: context. Chem IRL's reports route through trained humans, every time.
Most dating apps pad their user counts with bots, ghosts, and dormant accounts. Chem IRL ships a smaller, real roster on purpose.
Most apps charge extra for verification. Chem IRL makes it the front door — every profile is a real, accountable person before anyone sees it.
Most apps let any paying user buy visibility. Chem IRL lets serious daters earn it — payment unlocks tools, not exposure.
Photo verification, public-first meeting suggestions, and how we handle reports. The short version: we err on the side of the person who speaks up.
