A Hinge alternative for people who'd rather meet
Updated · by the SwipeTrip team
If you want a Hinge alternative in India that's built around actually meeting, SwipeTrip matches you on how you like to travel and gives every match 72 hours to turn into a real plan, from a coffee date to a weekend away.
Why people look for a Hinge alternative
Hinge is known for profile prompts that start conversations. Good conversations still need a plan, and that's the part SwipeTrip focuses on.
Many people simply want something different: fewer conversations that go nowhere, and more plans that actually happen. That's the gap SwipeTrip is built for.
What SwipeTrip does differently
| Typical swipe-first app | SwipeTrip | |
|---|---|---|
| What you match on | Mostly photos and a short bio | Trips first: travel style, pace, budget and when you're free |
| After you match | An open-ended chat | 72 hours to agree a plan with dates, an activity and a budget |
| Identity checks | Varies by app, often optional | Aadhaar and a live selfie for every member, before anyone can see you |
| Your ID | Varies by app | Only a 'verified' result is kept; ID images are deleted after review |
| On a date or trip | Varies by app | Emergency contact, check-ins and SOS on trips you declare |
| Not looking to date? | Usually a separate app | Travel buddy mode, in the same app |
- Trips first, faces second. Each card is a trip first and a person second, with a short line on why you'd get along.
- Matching on how you travel: travel style, pace, budget and when you're free, not just photos.
- 72 hours to make a plan. Every match gets 72 hours to become a plan with dates, an activity and a budget. If nobody proposes, the match quietly expires.
- Verified members only. Every member verifies with their Aadhaar and a live selfie, and nobody can see you until you're verified.
- Two modes: travel dating, and a travel buddy mode for finding someone to travel with without dating.
Can you use both?
Yes. Plenty of people use more than one app. SwipeTrip is for the moments you want a plan, not just a match: a first date that's actually fun, or a weekend trip with someone who travels like you.
