Meetic is an app the specializes in two things: meeting other people in France, and meeting people when you're over 50. You can use it if you're somewhere else, but you're going to find mostly French speakers on the app. Maybe that's what you want!
In any case, the app has a few other unique things about it, like Live Rooms and IRL events. In the former, you can be in a group video chat and meet people that way, while the latter is about meeting people face to face.

Let us provide you with actionable feedback and help you stay ahead in the dating game.
Want more likes?
Everyone loves feeling liked, right? Discover our formula to make your profile one of the most liked on any dating app.
Is Meetic going to help connect you with the love of your life? Meetic has helped 10 million people find relationships. Those are pretty good numbers! Not to mention there were 3,4 million active users in 2024, making it pretty likely you'll meet someone special. If this still isn’t enough for you, you could try connecting with some of the 50 million users on Bumble, or some of the 23 million people registered on Hinge.
Keep in mind that this app is specially-designed for French-speaking people, and there are a few quirks to it that set it apart from other dating apps. French speakers are particularly eager to meet each other, which means they're more willing to put up with conversation being paywalled! That's right -- you have to pay to message people on this app. For some users, however, that works out just fine.
Given that Meetic is all about breaking down the societal stigma of dating past the age of 50, it should be clear that Meetic users are most interested in relationships. It doesn't have to just be for that, though; who knows where things will go once you start talking? If however, you decide that you want to meet people for casual hookups rather than a serious relationship, Tinder may be a better app for you. 30% of Tinder users are looking for hookups, meaning that on Tinder you will have a better chance of finding someone who wants the same as you.
You can also log on to Meetic group chats and have informal meetups online. It's a great way to discover new people in Europe, whether on the web or by phone. While it may sound strange to have to pay just to talk when online dating, the preferences of older individuals in France might turn out a bit different from yours!
The app pulls in about 2.7 million active users monthly. That's a whole lot of attractive people to meet!
When people swipe on the app, how long are they doing it for? Each user spends about 12 minutes per day on the app. Just enough time to see your handsome face and spark a connection. In contrast to this, on average, Badoo users spend an average of 90 minutes on the app per day, giving them more time to find your profile and match with you!
Small aside. Did you know it is possible to make your profile more attractive in 2 minutes and get more matches every day?
Thanks to our AI trained on 10,000+ pictures rated by hot guys and girls, you will be able to access personalized feedback and tips to boost your dating profile for good.
You will know exactly which pictures are good or not, and most importantly why.
So, what are you waiting for to take charge of your dating life?
No matches?
ROAST can help you understand WHY and HOW to fix it.
The revenue for this app was about $62 million in 2024. You can meet individuals of all types, and they're evidently meeting up a lot based on the numbers!
About 450,000 people paid for the app in 2024. What were they paying for, you ask? The app offers different numbers of people you can talk to per day. If you can’t afford to be spending this kind of money on a dating app, why not try Plenty of Fish? Only 0.2% of Plenty of Fish users pay for extras on the app! This means that everyone is on a level playing field in terms of finding matches.
You can also:
The only reason to pay on Meetic is to be able to have conversations with the people you see on the app. It might sound strange, but some people dating online would like to have this kind of exclusivity. Products that require you to pay to use them have a connotation of being a bit more worth it.
Most users on the app are from France, so it makes sense that 96% of the revenue comes from there. As we can see from the graph, there are people from other countries who are also contributing to the app's revenue.
The app may also be a great option for dating in French. For some, providing the option to only date French speakers is worth the paywall of a few bucks per month.

Want more matches?
ROAST can help you improve your dating profile so you can easily get more matches.
There's a much more equitable distribution of genders than on other dating apps -- another great selling point. The userbase of Meetic is about evenly split between men and women.
A far cry from Tinder, where only 25% of the userbase is female. To tell the truth, most dating apps are sausage fests, and some believe that has an effect on how many matches you get. As such, this more equitable representation might be a draw.
The average user on Meetic skews a little older, with the average user being 28 years old. As it turns out, there's still plenty of young individuals using the app, even with its emphasis on dating for those over 50.
96% of users come from France. If you're a French speaker seeking others, you might do well to meet them on this app! The high volume of users from one place makes it easy for the app to organize IRL meetups -- something you don't often get with dating apps.

So, what are you waiting for to take charge of your dating life?
No matches?
ROAST can help you understand WHY and HOW to fix it.
If you're a guy and you're trying to jump on some dating apps, there's something you need to know if you don't know it already. And that's this: you're going to miss out on a lot of beautiful women. That's just how it is.
Women can expect to get so many more matches than you, and the work is all about vetting the men.
This might seem unfair, but guys, you've probably never been in a room and felt surrounded by people bigger than you, staring at you like you're a piece of meat. It's not the funnest thing in the world! Women constantly have to figure out how to test men so that they reveal themselves to be decent people.
Guys, you can expect to match with 1 out of every 40 likes you give on a dating app. Those numbers aren't too bad when you think about it; just don't get on the app so hungry for attention that you feel depressed when you don't get a message or a match. If you're still in that mindset, sorry, but you'll need thicker skin to survive in the dating game.
The success ratio for guys is 3% -- that's the ratio of matches to likes.
Tabulating the percentage of men that have less than a match per day, we get to 52%. Not the worst number in the world when you think about it!
When calculating the percentage of men that have less than a match per week, we arrive at 13%. If you sit down and really think about it, that's not too different from the average guy's success rate when going out and meeting people each week!
What kind of numbers are women working with? What's the success rate for women when it comes to matches and likes?
45% of likes turn into matches, so women can expect to get matched with 1 out of every 2 men they like.
If you think that's a good thing, you try spending ten minutes on the app and then watching your phone go off with new message notifications a hundred times a minute.
How do men and women behave on the app? How much do they like, and how much do they pass? The swipe statistics of men vs. women goes a little something like this.
Men are much less selective, liking 1 out of every 3 profiles they come across. This isn't very surprising, given how many times men are reported to think about sex per day. Not to mention, men know how many times they'll get rejected by women, so they tend to swipe right just for the sake of increasing their conversation opportunities.
Women like only 1 out of every 16 profiles they come across. They're going to like a lot less guys when they know what most of them are going to say. "Hey."
If you really want to earn your spot as one out of 16, guys, you should make sure you have a profile that is designed to impress. Then, come up with a pickup line that's creative and clever so she'll want to keep talking to you! That's just online dating 101.
