Exclusively on DatingScout: online member numbers for dating services are usually far off, so we estimate how many people are really on BlackCupid from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.
BlackCupid is dominated by men, getting more than 80% of the population. This means that there are more options available for women, and a higher chance for them to find a perfect match. But regardless of which gender is dominant, the site's membership scope still includes an appealing profile of beautiful people that are waiting to meet you.
Majority of the members are in their mid-30s to early 40s, or those that are in their settling age. This suggests that the site caters to people who are into serious relationships and are looking to find "the one".

The BlackCupid app
★★★★★ 3.0/5
- Website has a mobile adaptive design
- Mobile website will automatically lead you to a list of recommended matches.
- Has a simple and user-friendly mobile interface
- Available in GooglePlay
- Not available for iOS or Windows phone
The App version for BlackCupid is only available for GooglePlay. But the interface for the app and the mobile view are almost the same. The "Match List" focuses on the displayed picture of a member. If you want to see more about a match, you have to click his/her name to see the profile view. Their profile will also have a simplified version of the side-by-side comparison to your preferences as seen on the desktop view.
One downside, it is not available for iOS and Windowsphone. But no worries! Since the mobile adaptive design for BlackCupid is very good. Upon logging in, the site will lead you to a recommended match list. This will serve as your homepage. Everything in the mobile view is similar to the desktop view, so there are only a few adjustments to make.
Our field test
★★★★★ 4.0/5
Honestly, this is one of the few sites where I feel accepted and comfortable being myself. The friendly environment and their good security measures is a big plus. Their verification process is a bit hassle but it was worth it. I have gained a few friends and have started dating some of the matches I had (Luckily, I was able to catch the attention of some premium users!). My fingers are crossed; I hope I find the one for me here!
I'm thinking about upgrading my account anytime soon since premium accounts have access to useful features. But I can't decide whether to choose Gold or Platinum. I also wish they create a free app for iOS, it's just so much easier to have it anywhere you go.” – Michael, 38
Design & usability
BlackCupid has a very simple and basic design, with tabs and buttons that are straight to the point and easy to understand. Its design layout is very friendly especially to the majority of their members (30s to 40s). Some millennials may not find its interface attractive because of the lack of gimmick and fancy designs. But its simplicity and the things that the site has to offer actually helps members to focus more on getting to know their matches. The profile information, as well as the other pages, are concise and well-organised. It is easy to navigate and explore.
Special features
You might ask what makes BlackCupid special compared to other dating websites. Well, aside from the fact that they mostly cater to black singles, they also have cool features that make them stand out. And you know what's better? These features are free for all!
Finding people 3
Your preference vs. Your match's profileFree
BlackCupid has a feature that makes profile comparison easy for its users. If you visit the profile page of your match and scroll down to "About (Name)" you will see a list of information about him/her. Beside it is the list of information about your preferences. With this, you can see and rate how qualified the proposed match is to you.
CupidTagsFree
This function can help your profile gain more attention. It can also help in finding someone you have common interests with. This is similar to "hashtags" but instead of using the popular "#" sign, you simply type in words that describe you, your hobbies, or things that interest you the most. You can add five or more tags to your profile.
