Our Review

Isodate’s main idea is to revolutionize online dating where you swipe less and date more. This idea is executed by having you go on virtual speed dating events. The dating site claims to have you meet up to 15 members in under an hour with each date lasting three to five minutes.

These virtual speed dating events are catered for all kinds of dating specifics such as location, sexuality, religion, hobbies, and more. The dating events are categorized into two: general events and Jewish events. If you are Jewish and want to meet only Jewish people, you are better off attending the latter events.

Isodate seems to be quite interesting. Can it deliver its promises? We took a closer look at Isodate to see if it can walk the talk. Find out about its contacting features, prices, and lots more important information in our in-depth review below!

How to Sign Up for Isodate

isodate registration
  • Takes less than a minute to register
  • No Facebook or any other social media registration
  • Email verification is required
  • You must also upload a photo
  • No personality tests available

Signing up on Isodate takes only less than a minute. The registration process is quite simple and straightforward. While there are no Facebook or any other social media registration available, it will not take too long for you to create an account. You must input your basic information such as first name, last name, gender, birthday, location, mobile number, and nominated password. After that, you must upload a profile picture.

Once completed, a verification link is sent to you via email. The email only takes seconds to arrive in your inbox. You must click the link in order to activate your account. Then, you can proceed to log in.

We were surprised at how bare minimum the entire registration process was. There are no further inquiries about our personalities, hobbies, professions. We thought for a dating site that aims to match people, they would ask us this vital information in order to provide quality matches.

Making Contact on Isodate

isodate making contact
  • Attend events to meet other members
  • A virtual speed date typically lasts 3-5 minutes
  • Have up to 15 video dates per event
  • You are given an option to “Like” or “Pass”
  • Chat with your matches after the event

Creating an account on Isodate isn’t enough to get you matches or even meet other people. To meet other members, you must attend events. Instead of having a monthly subscription or buying credits to use contacting features, you must purchase tickets to attend virtual events hosted by Isodate. Each event has specific dating criteria pertaining to religion, hobbies, lifestyles, age groups, etc. If you find an event that specifies the traits you have, you must attend that event. Tickets range from $18 to $20.

In events, you will be participating in a virtual speed date. Living up to its slogan, “Swipe less and date more,” Isodate nudges you to mingle and speak to people more, even if it's only through video chat. A date typically lasts about three to five minutes. According to Isodate, you will have an average of 15 video dates per event. You are also given a “Like” or “Pass” option during the event so you can customize your matches better.

Once done with the event, you can head over to your “Connections” tab to see your matches. You can go on to chat with your matches, get to know each other better, and hopefully cultivate a solid relationship with them. It is quite an unorthodox and revolutionary way of mingling with other people.

Isodate Profile Quality

isodate profile
  • Only displays basic information asked during registration
  • You can’t view other members’ profile
  • You can still change your information later
  • You can upload new profile picture
  • Profiles serve no function when contacting other members

    Isodate’s primary focus is the virtual events where you go on speed dates. Going on the site alone wouldn’t get you matches. You must participate in events in order to see other people. When you log in, you won’t be able to see other people’s profile. If you don’t want to participate in any events, signing up on Isodate is practically worthless. You can only view your own profile which displays the basic information you’ve shared upon registration.

    You would only see other members once you finished speed dating and have matches. They will show up under the “Connections” tab. Chatting with them is apparently free. The only purchase you will be making is purchasing tickets to these virtual events. Granted, during the current pandemic, meeting people virtually in video chats seem to be the much safer version at the moment.

    Isodate Real Life Review

    I liked the idea of this dating site. I especially liked that I only have to pay for the events I want to attend. However, I am disappointed. 2 out of 3 events I attended, I did not get any matches. At the last event, I had a f22ew matches but none of them bore any fruit. I guess, I liked the idea more than the execution itself. I think I am ready to move on to other dating apps.

    Design and Usability

    The design is very minimalistic and basic. Truly, when you create an account on Isodate, it’s not truly the website you are after. It’s the events. They put the most effort into hosting events instead of providing their members with a fantastic website with great design and an even more awesome user experience. Indeed, the site is completely barebones, to say the least. The great things about creating an account are the fast registration and the ability to see your matches after an event.

    Editor's Conclusion

    Founder of Datingscout and Author of the book "Online Dating for Dummies"
    In a traditional sense, Isodate can be barely called a dating site. You don’t create a profile here to swipe, see other people’s profiles and photos, slide into their DMs. No, you create a profile here so you can attend these events. Instead of paying for monthly subscriptions, you purchase tickets for these events where you can speed date, see matches, and then chat them us. Isodate focuses heavily on these events that the site itself is the bare minimum. There is nothing else to see if you aren’t attending these events. If you want a more traditional way of online dating, check these dating sites instead.
