iOS & Android

    Your Brand. The App Store.
    Revenue You Control.

    Dating Partners is the only White Label platform offering true native iOS and Android apps where you are the publisher โ€” meaning App Store and Google Play revenue flows directly to you, not through us.

    See How It Works

    Dating Has Moved to Mobile. Has Your Business?

    The numbers are unambiguous: dating is now an app-first industry. Users spend 80 minutes per day on dating apps. They check in four times daily. They expect instant notifications when someone messages them, and they expect the fluid, responsive experience that only native apps deliver.

    80 minutes

    Average daily time spent on dating apps by active users

    4x daily

    Average login frequency for active dating app users

    360 million

    Global dating app users in 2024 โ€” growing to 450M+ by 2028

    ยฃ6.2 billion

    Global dating app revenue in 2024, up 15% year-on-year

    If your dating brand only exists on the web, you're competing for attention against apps that live in your users' pockets, send them notifications throughout the day, and make connecting effortless. That's not a fair fight.

    The Economics of Native vs Web

    It's not just about user preference. Native dating apps generate significantly more revenue per user than web-based dating sites. Here's why:

    True Native Apps โ€” Where You Are The Publisher

    Other White Label platforms talk about 'mobile apps,' but what they offer are web wrappers โ€” essentially your website in an app shell. They don't have real push notifications. They can't be approved for the App Store. And critically, the revenue flows through the platform, not to you.

    With Dating Partners, you are the publisher of your app. Your Apple Developer account. Your Google Play Console. Revenue from App Store and Google Play purchases goes directly to you โ€” not through us.

    This isn't a technical detail. It's fundamental to your business model.

    When you're the publisher:

    • Apple and Google pay you directly for every subscription and in-app purchase
    • You have a direct relationship with the app stores, not a dependency on us
    • Your revenue isn't subject to platform intermediary fees beyond standard app store rates
    • You retain full control even if your relationship with Dating Partners changes
    • Your business has verifiable, direct app store revenue โ€” valuable if you ever seek investment or exit

    When the platform is the publisher:

    • Revenue flows through them first, then to you
    • You're dependent on their continued operation and goodwill
    • Your commercial terms can change
    • You have no direct relationship with Apple or Google
    • Your app's existence depends entirely on the platform's app store standing

    We believe operators should own their revenue streams, not rent them.

    Everything You Need to Launch

    Fully Branded Native Apps

    Your name, your icon, your brand identity on both the App Store and Google Play. No Dating Partners branding anywhere. To users, this is entirely your product.

    Real Push Notifications

    Native push notifications for messages, matches, likes, and engagement triggers. Not web push workarounds โ€” real iOS and Android notifications that appear on lock screens and drive users back into the app.

    App Store Optimised

    Apps built to pass Apple and Google review. Compliant with app store guidelines. Designed for approval, not rejection.

    Seamless In-App Purchases

    Native subscription and purchase flows using Apple's StoreKit and Google Play Billing. Users upgrade with one tap. You receive revenue directly.

    Platform Feature Parity

    All the features that run on the web platform โ€” matching, messaging, moderation, safety features, monetisation โ€” fully integrated into the native app experience.

    Managed Updates

    App updates, bug fixes, and new features deployed through us. You don't need a mobile development team. The app stays current without ongoing investment from you.

    Submission Support

    We guide you through Apple Developer and Google Play Console setup, handle the technical submission process, and manage the review cycle. You maintain ownership; we handle the complexity.

    What This Means For Your Business

    Consider two identical dating brands with identical traffic:

    ABrand A (Web Only)

    • Users visit via browser
    • Engagement limited to when users actively return
    • Payment requires web checkout flow
    • No persistent presence on user devices
    • Re-engagement depends on email (20% open rates)

    BBrand B (Native App)

    • App icon on user's home screen
    • Push notifications drive 4x daily engagement
    • One-tap in-app purchases
    • Permanent brand presence on device
    • Re-engagement via push (40%+ engagement rates)

    The result: Brand B will see higher daily active users, higher conversion to paid, longer subscription retention, and significantly higher lifetime value per user.

    Native apps don't just add a channel. They transform the economics of your dating business.

    Why iOS Matters

    In dating apps, iOS generates approximately 80% of mobile revenue despite having fewer users than Android. iPhone users convert to paid subscriptions at higher rates and maintain subscriptions longer.

    If you're not in the App Store, you're missing the most valuable segment of the dating market.

    Dating Partners' native app support puts your brand in front of iOS users with a native experience they expect โ€” and the frictionless payment flow that converts them to paying subscribers.
