Love, with intention
Most apps keep you swiping. Sincera helps you meet.
Dating built to get two compatible people face-to-face, sooner. Every member ID-verified, and your first meeting is a real video date before a single message is sent.
The problem with modern dating
You're not bad at dating. The apps were never built to let you finish.
If swiping has left you tired, guarded, and quietly wondering whether anyone on the other side is real, that feeling is data, not a flaw in you.
It starts hopeful. Then it becomes a second job. Studies of app users find people spend roughly fifty minutes a day swiping, tapping, and typing into the quiet, which adds up to something close to a full workday every week. Most of it goes nowhere. You match, you send the message, you wait, and the thread dies on the vine. After enough of that, surveys aren't surprising anymore: nearly four in five people say the apps leave them emotionally, mentally, or physically exhausted, and the reason they name most often isn't rejection, it's simply never finding a real connection.
Underneath the fatigue is something harder to say out loud: you can't always tell who is actually there. Pew finds about half of users have run into someone they believed was trying to scam them, and nearly half describe their overall experience as negative. Surveys of daters turn up people lying about their age, their photos, their intentions, and, quietly, their relationship status. So you spend your evenings not just hoping to like someone, but bracing to be deceived. Warmth and vigilance don't sit well in the same body. No wonder it wears you down.
Here's the part that isn't your imagination. A dating app makes money when you stay. Most of the big-name apps are owned by a single company, and it draws over ninety-eight percent of its revenue from subscriptions and in-app purchases; critics have made the uncomfortable math plain: every couple that actually finds each other and leaves is two paying customers gone. You were told this was built to help you find someone. It was built to keep you looking. Sincera starts from the opposite promise. We check every member's government ID against a live selfie, so no one can pretend to be someone they're not, and every member affirms they are not currently married, with the marital history they declare shown openly on their profile. We're made for people who actually want a lasting relationship, meeting face-to-face first, so you can stop performing and simply see if it's real.
So we built the opposite of an endless feed: a small, verified room where you meet real people face-to-face, on purpose.

YouMayaHow it works
Four steps to meeting someone real.
No infinite feed, no texting job. Here’s exactly how it goes.
Apply & verify
A short application, then a government-ID and selfie check. Everyone you'll meet is a real, verified person who has affirmed they are not currently married.
Take the assessment
A relationship-science assessment across eight research-based dimensions. It's how we find who you actually fit, and it hands you a real read on yourself.
Meet face-to-face
You only see people you genuinely fit. Your first contact is a real face-to-face video date: a private 25-minute 1:1. Chemistry you can't fake.
Message only after you meet
Messaging opens after you've met and both said yes. No pen-pal limbo, no texting-into-the-void, no ghosting mid-thread.
Why Sincera is different
Fewer strangers. Less texting-into-the-void. More real beginnings.
ID-verified, and on the record
Every member passes a government-ID and selfie check, so the person is real: no catfish, no bots. Every member also affirms they are not currently married. We record that affirmation with a timestamp, and making it falsely is grounds for removal.
Compatibility-first
You only see people you actually fit: a 51% compatibility floor, measured across eight research-based dimensions. Real fits, not an infinite feed.
Meet face-to-face first
Your first contact is a real video date, not a text thread. Experience the person, not a profile, and skip weeks of messaging that fizzles.
No pre-meeting messaging
Messaging only opens after you meet and both say yes. It's anti-ghosting by design: no mid-thread disappearing, no endless limbo.
A science-based read on yourself
You walk away understanding yourself better: a profile across eight dimensions, with concrete, proven ways to grow as a partner.
Privacy, by design
First names and photos, verified identities, and only a rough distance worked out from the city you typed: never your city itself, never an address, and we never ask your phone for your location. No data sold.
A candid comparison
Side by side
How the same moment in your dating life plays out on each.
A note on fairness. This comparison describes the typical, publicly-described experience of each category as of July 2026. Specific features vary by app, by plan, and change over time; the major apps each offer more than any single row can capture. The point isn’t that those apps are bad; it’s that they’re built around a different goal. Sincera is built around one thing: getting two compatible people face-to-face, on video, sooner.
