On October 20, 2026 it was the only dating app on Google Play with 500M+ installs, number one on Google Play’s US top-grossing and top-free Dating charts, and number one on the App Store’s US Lifestyle top-grossing chart. Behind it, the order depends on what you measure: Hinge and Bumble follow by revenue, Bumble and Plenty of Fish match Tinder’s US ratings count, and Badoo, Bumble, happn and SweetMeet share second place on Google Play installs at 100M+ each.

Top-grossing dating apps
Google Play’s US top-grossing Dating chart ranks apps by the money they make on the store, in Google’s own order. Installs are Google’s lifetime counter:
| # | App | Installs | Ratings | Stars |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tinder | 500,000,000+ | 9.26M | 3.9 |
| 2 | Hinge | 10,000,000+ | 491K | 3.5 |
| 3 | Bumble | 100,000,000+ | 1.63M | 3.8 |
| 4 | Feeld | 5,000,000+ | 57K | 3.1 |
| 5 | Hily | 10,000,000+ | 208K | 4.3 |
| 6 | PURE | 10,000,000+ | 198K | 3.2 |
| 7 | Match | 10,000,000+ | 154K | 3.3 |
| 8 | Plenty of Fish | 50,000,000+ | 1.68M | 3.7 |
| 9 | Boo | 10,000,000+ | 3.51M | 3.9 |
| 10 | BLK | 5,000,000+ | 138K | 4.2 |
| 11 | Once | 5,000,000+ | 164K | 4.1 |
| 12 | Ashley Madison | 1,000,000+ | 21K | 2.7 |
| 13 | Upward | 1,000,000+ | 49K | 3.8 |
| 14 | OkCupid | 50,000,000+ | 688K | 3.4 |
| 15 | Chispa | 5,000,000+ | 115K | 4.2 |
Two things stand out. Installs and revenue don’t line up: Hinge is second by revenue with 10M+ installs, while Badoo, with 100M+, isn’t in the top 15. And niche apps punch above their size: Feeld, BLK, Once and Chispa make the top 15 with 5M+ installs, and PURE with 10M+, far fewer than Badoo or happn.

Google Play’s counter is global and counts installs over an app’s whole life. For the US, rating counts on the App Store are a better guide to how many people use an app:
| App | US ratings | Stars | Developer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plenty of Fish | 1.81M | 4.3 | PlentyOfFish |
| Bumble | 1.77M | 4.3 | Bumble Holding Limited |
| Tinder | 1.76M | 4.2 | Tinder LLC |
| Hinge | 1.13M | 4.4 | Hinge, Inc. |
| BLK | 556K | 4.6 | Affinity Apps, LLC |
| Grindr | 389K | 4.5 | Grindr LLC |
| Hily | 382K | 4.4 | Hily Corp. |
| Chispa | 376K | 4.5 | Affinity Apps, LLC |
| OkCupid | 289K | 4.3 | Match Group Americas, LLC |
| Match | 243K | 3.9 | Match Group Americas, LLC |
| Boo | 212K | 4.2 | Boo Enterprises, Inc. |
| Upward | 163K | 4.3 | Affinity Apps, LLC |
| Badoo | 150K | 4.6 | Badoo Software Ltd |
| Feeld | 102K | 4.3 | Feeld Ltd |
| PURE | 87K | 4.3 | Online Classifieds AG |
| happn | 49K | 4.4 | HAPPN SAS |
| Coffee Meets Bagel | 22K | 4.3 | Coffee Meets Bagel, Inc |
Plenty of Fish, Bumble and Tinder are almost tied in the US, each near 1.8 million ratings, with Hinge next at about 1.1 million. Among the big apps, BLK, Badoo, Chispa and Grindr have the highest star ratings.

Dating apps on the App Store
The App Store has no Dating category; most dating apps sit in Lifestyle or Social Networking. In Apple’s US Lifestyle top-grossing chart on October 20, 2026, 12 of the top 20 apps are dating apps: Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, Feeld, Raya, PURE, Hily, DOWN, The League, Kismia, Once, Cuffed. Raya, The League and DOWN appear there too, a sign of how much people pay for selective or niche dating.
If you’re thinking of building a dating app
The data says the top is locked and the middle is open. Google Play lists 6,308 dating apps, but only 267 (4.2%) have reached 1 million installs. The new names in the top-grossing charts are niche: apps for one community (BLK, Chispa), one style of dating (Feeld, PURE) or one level of selectiveness (Raya, The League). One publisher, Affinity Apps, runs three of the most-rated in the US: BLK, Chispa and Upward. A general-purpose swipe app competing with Tinder is the hardest version of this business; a dating app for a specific group is the one with room.
