I signed up for this site hoping that I would find someone to chat or meet. But I was never given a single person after listing what kind of person I was interested in. The site doesn't allow to search members and the cost was non-refundable. They have people who do the searching for you and there is no guarantee that they will find someone. I feel you are throwing money away by not giving you a chance to look through a list of current members. Try other sites and pass on this one.
I've been a paying customer for 10 months. I paid $6,800 for six matches. I've gone on 3 dates. Three dates in almost a year. Of the three dates 2 did not even come close to meeting my expectations and one was just okay. There is no incentive for matchmakers to match you in an expedited manner. The entire model is geared towards Tawkify taking your money and trapping you in a contract, then barely doing their part. There is absolutely nothing you can do about it, either. They have you by the purse strings. You are also more often than not matched with people who are not paying for the service. So they also have nothing to lose. You as a paying customer hold all the risk and the service is awful. I would steer very clear.
Hi there, we're sincerely sorry to hear that your experience hasn't been what you were hoping for and value your feedback. To clarify, date timelines vary depending on each client's preferences and the matchmaker's strategy -- we prioritize match quality over speed to provide the best matches possible. Regarding matching with non-paying candidates, we have found no correlation between membership tier and success. In fact, the overwhelming majority of our success stories are client/member or client/recruit pairings. Regardless, ALL candidates go through the video screening process for compatibility.

I think this service could greatly benefit from an app. Based on the level of investment, I should never feel in the dark as to whether anything is happening or not. I was aggressively pressed to submit feedback from an initial date, but have received no such communication in return. I'm not sure what that means and I would expect at this level that ambiguity would not prove to be an issue. I guess I would prefer to know the status of things and occasional emailed communication do t provide that or any level of confidence on the contracted service.

When I applied, I was assured there were eligible men in their database. They tried to upsell me to a personal matching service. I told them I wanted to see the quality of men before considering an upgrade. In 10 months I didn't hear a word from them. I reached out via email and never got a response. Don't waste your time or money.

Absolute scam.They lie from the get go. First, they say it is refundable it is not. As long as they give you matches they don't have to return your money. Second, they say both males and females pay, they do not. Females are allowed into their portfolio, and they will take anyone( and I mean anyone). Third, they don't match your preferences at all, they just give you anyone regardless of your preferences. Four, their matchmakers are not good, I cycled through 3 because each one was terrible. The girls on there are not cute, intelligent, and have more baggage than tinder chicks. It is not reputable and do no use this service. Once they get your money they are done with you. I filed multiple complaints and at the end they just said too bad do you want to extend.

I paid around 8 K for 10 matches. I believe I only had 2 matches that turned into more than the first date. But none turned into anything more than going to a movie or dinner. Didn't turn out to be a match. I feel like a wasted a lot of money and time for nothing. I don't know how their matching system works but 2 out of 10. I guess that is where they get the 80% success rate.

I really regret spending money on Tawkify. I had very simple preferences, for example to me matched w someone with similar political beliefs, and twice was matched with people with very different political beliefs. When I complained, both times I was told "The guy lied to your matchmaker, sorry, we do our best." Was also matched w someone with very different physical characteristics than I had requested and again was told "He lied to us, he used old pictures, sorry." So: Tawkify doesnt do a good job of screening matches. I can use hinge for free if I want to match with guys who lie to me. My expectations were totally unmet and I deeply regret the huge financial investment (approx $1,300 a match for 6 matches).

I paid $6,800 for 6 matches with the belief that I would have dates that were well matched for my personality, lifestyle and physical attributes. I also believed the service would have higher caliber candidates than the apps. It did not. In fact, it drove me to get back on the apps, where I have had success. If I could go back, I would have bought a purse instead.
My first match was so off-point, customer service provided me with an additional match for free. My second match was OK; I was trying to keep an open mind and said I would see him again; he agreed, but ultimately neither of us reached out. After that, my matchmaker essentially asked me to lower my standards so she could have better luck finding matches for me. After arguing with customer service for a refund, which they refused, I switched matchmakers. It didn't help. The matches are only as good as their candidate pool, which is not impressive. I felt the matchmakers had quotas to meet, sending me on dates with people who were nowhere near what I was looking for. Twice, it took a while to find matches, and by that time I was already dating someone I met outside of the service. Note, they will not refund you if you find a relationship outside of Tawkify, only if that someone was found through their service.
Tawkify was a waste of my time and money. So much so, I forfeited my final two dates. Buyer beware prior to signing the contract; take note of the refund agreement as what they sell you on, vs what it says, do not align.

Not everyone cup of tea. But if you like to have a personal assistant to help you find love maybe this is a good way to filter the unwanted match, this is the one for you. All you have to do is be patient and lower your ecxpectations

WHERE are people getting these "bargain" rates? I was quoted $70k, after a $10k retainer, for basically 1 intro/month for a year & no fall back or assurance that you will EVER meet any kind of match. When I inquired about that, the answer was I could sign up for more?! Insanity.

I was given 4 different matchmakers over the time I had a Tawkify package. That alone should be a red flag. The matchmakers I had left the company so it had nothing to do with any incompatibility with me as a client. This meant I had to do an introductory meeting with every matchmaker. I paid nearly $7000. It's is 100% not worth the cost. You don't get many subsequent sessions with your matchmaker. What you do get are optional phone calls after a date to review the results and see if your match agreed to a second date. I find it hard to believe that you are getting your moneys worth if you don't have much interaction with a matchmaker beyond the initial session.
The matches I had weren't awful but none resulted in a second date. Again, all my date feedback was positive. It seems highly strange to me that of the 9-10 matches I had, none resulted in at least a second date. The dates I had I could have found on a cheap app. They weren't extraordinary or any more serious about dating than someone you would find on an app.
I had spoken with the employee who sold me my package and told that my experience was unusual and disappointing. After that confirmation I did reach out to customer success only to be sent the agreement I had signed and a "sorry it didn't work out" email. I have pushed back for a possible refund and told that they don't offer that since they did provide their services even if the services were subpar and the fact that I had to go through 4 matchmakers due to no fault of my own.
If you read the fine print, you are essentially locked into the plan once you pay and the only way you can get a refund is if you successfully match with one of the matches and can prove that it's true by being in promotional material, etc. The rate that I got matches was fast enough that even if one had resulted in second date, there would be minimal time to see what happens.
I would definitely avoid at all costs. There are other matchmakers who will personalize their services with you which I have already found in the Philly area. The responses I have received from them have been cold and the final email I got after my last unsuccessful date with just a simple "good luck, we know you will find someone".
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We take all customer feedback seriously and sincerely regret that your experience with our matchmaking service did not meet your expectations.
We recognize the significant investment of time and money you made in our service. Your disappointment with the matches provided and the perceived disparity between our promises and your experience is concerning to us.

I see that our team is actively in touch with you to help find a resolution. If you'd like to discuss further, please reach out any time!
I signed up Tawkify when I felt extremely disappointed at the online dating scene, and I didn't expect I'd enjoy the process the way I do today. The blind dating process forced me to let go of control from the candidates to dating venues. Regardless the level of attraction, people who show up on the dates are genuine people, and are open to share about themselves. The feedback form after each session makes you stay objective and process how the date makes you feel. My matchmaker introduced me to people who meet my requirements but also show elements that I wouldn't consider dating in the past. I got to meet really interesting people and it gave me an opportunity to challenge my own beliefs.
Total and complete waste of money. I paid $600 per match--they were all pretty awful and then I found out men in nyc were not having to pay at all! I was hoping to meet men intent on finding a partner. I have never had trouble finding dates, I thought this service could help me find more of the 'right' men. Nope! I should have just put my phone number on 1800 one dollar bills, shredded them, let the birds build nests, and maybe then I'd have a better chance of a decent man having my contact info. I had to go for 3 dates before I could get a refund--do not use this service! Trust in yourself, maybe go on vacation. Don't give them your money.
Thanks for leaving your feedback, CJ A. The costs of our services are not based on gender. We have both male and female recruits who join our database at the request of a specific matchmaker. We also occasionally run specials for reduced cost membership irregardless of gender, and many former clients stay on in our database as complimentary members. We've reached out to talk more about your experience and hope to hear back. Be well!
So far, I've only had the 1 coaching and matchmaking session. It's been not even a week. I heard this process takes longer than typical online dating, which I'm ok with. I guess I'm just not used to it
SCAM! Tawkify needs to be shut down. I paid over $1200 for one match what was supposed to meet my criteria. Takify did not match ANY of my criteria other than he was male. They did not perform their end of the bargain and, hence, stole my money. I even sent pictures of the type of man I am looking for. If they could not find a man to meet my criteria then they could have simply not matched me. I was not made aware that I was not able to review a photo of the date until AFTER I signed up and they already had my money. Had I known this I never would have signed up. My 'match" was OPPOSITE of what I asked for. This whole experience has been traumatizing for me. They REfUSED to fully refund me!They need to be held accountable!

Tawkify stole over $1000 from me. They set me up on a date with someone opposite of what they knew I wanted. They are uncaring and unprofessional.
Although I really clicked with my initial contact she is definitely an excellent closer and some things about the process were definitely clouded. I liked her and enjoyed our time talking but wish there had been less sell and more info. Maybe I should have asked better questions.
Rachael Ogilvie is my matchmaker and I couldn't be happier I was matched with her. She is kind, empathetic, listens and adjusts well, and feels like a friend who is there with you every step of the way. Our first meeting, I just felt like she got me - and even if she didn't - she asked so many great questions and made sure she was understanding what I was looking for. Throughout the process, she has been communicative, enthusiastic, and supportive when things haven't worked out. She has even given a gentle push to meet people I wasn't quite sure about that ended up turning out great. Dating can be tough and I really feel like she has my best interest at heart and truly wants me to find love. Anyone who gets her as their matchmaker is in great hands!
I'm a member and have been on two dates. The first date was a nice time and we had a great dinner overlooking the ocean. We went out a few more times but ultimately he wasn't the guy for me. My second match, we had drinks and apps in my city. Both guys were very successful, kind, and I could tell they were really looking for a relationship. That's what sets this service apart from others for me. It's so refreshing to meet men who are not just dating around.
Definitely recommend trying it! I joined their database and was set up on a date with a client a few months later. The match was spot on and we both wanted to see each other again! We had similar interests and the same sarcastic sense of humor.
At the moment, I am happy and impressed with the service. My matchmaker was easy to talk to and asked thorough questions. My dating coach provided great tips. I'm only two weeks into the process so I haven't had a date yet but I am hopeful.

Answer: The app so much better because you can look at photographs and get a sense of the person and you know yourself much better than these matchmaker so only meet you for an hour and then only give you a 10 or 15 minute follow up. I actually feel bad for these matchmakers, because I think they are forced by this model to deal with a lot of very disappointed people.
