Screened before introduced
Nobody is introduced to you until they have completed an application, submitted identity documents, given references and sat a live interview with us.
More Than a Match
Dating apps, matchmakers, and what a ninety-day covenant journey really is
Three different things are being sold here, and they are not the same purchase. Below are the market figures as they are publicly reported, with sources and the date we last checked them, then an honest look at what each model actually gives you.
Read this first
How to read the figures on this page
We would rather be careful than impressive.
- Every figure is a publicly reported reference point gathered for comparison. None of it is an official quotation from that company, and we do not speak for them.
- Prices change constantly. They vary by country, currency, device, age, promotion and package. Always confirm directly with the provider.
- Each row shows the date we last verified it. Our team re-checks on a ninety-day rhythm.
- If a figure goes unverified past a hundred and twenty days, we withdraw the number rather than show it as current. You may see that on a row below, and that is by design.
Table one
What paid dating apps cost
Subscription access to a large open pool. Entry paid tiers, as publicly reported.
| Platform | Reference plan | Reported price | Billing period | Free option | Last verified | Source | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reference prices are being re-verified. | |||||||
Paid app tiers are ongoing subscriptions. Many people renew for years. Twelve months at a modest monthly figure is a real number worth doing on paper before you compare it with anything else.
Table two
What professional matchmaking costs
A private search carried out for you. Figures are quoted per client, so treat these as reference points only.
| Service | Reported minimum | Upper range | Structure | Search scope | Last verified | Source | How to read it |

Table three
Fifteen honest differences between the three models
Not better people. A different piece of work.
| What we are comparing | Dating apps | Traditional matchmaking | Haiti Meets Nigeria |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you are buying | Access to a large pool and paid visibility inside it | A private search carried out on your behalf | A guided ninety-day journey towards a covenant decision |
| Who does the choosing | You swipe, filter and message, alone | A matchmaker shortlists and introduces | We introduce, then you both do the work with us alongside you |
| Faith at the centre | A preference field, if that | Considered when a client asks for it | The whole frame: Scripture, prayer and church life run through every week |
| Cultural depth | Ethnicity as a filter tag | Varies by matchmaker and market | Haitian and Nigerian tracks with family, language and tradition taught properly |
| Screening before you meet anyone | Email or phone sign-up, largely open | A client conversation, usually paid | Written application, identity documents, references and a live interview |
| Identity verification | Optional selfie checks in places | Case by case | Required: document, country, name match and expiry all checked by a person |
| Anti-scam and migration-motive screening | Reactive reporting after harm | Rarely a formal step | A named screening stage, with money and immigration questions asked outright |
| How much contact you get | Unlimited, unstructured, all at once | A handful of introductions per period | One introduction at a time, so it can be given real attention |
| Structure after the introduction | None | Feedback calls between dates | Twelve weeks of lessons, guided conversations and shared activities |
| Oversight of how it is going | None | Informal check-ins | Private weekly reports read by the Director, with risk graded green to red |
| Safeguarding | Report and block | Discretionary | A safeguarding queue, the power to pause a journey, and human review of flags |
| Photographs | Photo first, everything else after | Shared by the matchmaker | Values first: photographs are released by consent at a later stage |
| Family involvement | Left entirely to you | Seldom addressed | Family conversations are part of the curriculum and the Day 90 decision |
| How it ends | You delete the app | The contract runs out | A recorded Day 90 decision: covenant pathway, extended season or a kind close |
| What it costs | Ongoing monthly subscriptions, often indefinitely | Four to six figures for a retained search | A published application fee, readiness assessment and journey tier, all in writing |
Why it is worth it
What your fee actually buys here
Our fees are published in full, and an invoice is raised in writing before access opens.
One journey at a time
You are not managing five conversations. One introduction, ninety days, full attention, so you can tell what is actually there.
Faith is the frame, not a filter
Prayer, Scripture and church accountability are built into every week, because a covenant marriage needs more than chemistry.
Two cultures taught, not assumed
Haitian and Nigerian tracks so family expectations, language and tradition are understood before they become a fight.
Somebody is actually watching
Private weekly reports go to the Director. Concerns are graded and answered by a person, not a support ticket.
A decision, not a drift
Day 90 asks the honest question: covenant pathway, extended season, or close it well. No endless maybe.
Questions people actually ask
Cost, value and what we are not
Are dating apps cheaper than matchmaking?
Month to month, yes. A paid app plan is usually a low double-digit monthly figure, while a retained matchmaking search runs from four to six figures. The honest comparison is not per month, it is per outcome: many people pay app subscriptions for years without a marriage-minded relationship, while a structured service is bought once for a defined piece of work.
How much does a matchmaker cost?
Publicly reported figures range from roughly $1,695 per month at the entry end to published ranges of approximately $50,000 to $500,000 for customized retained search at elite firms. Final figures depend on search scope and are quoted per client, so treat every number as a reference point rather than a quotation.
Is Haiti Meets Nigeria a dating app?
No. There is no swiping and no open browsing. You apply, you are screened and interviewed, and if you are accepted you are introduced to one person and walked through a ninety-day programme towards a covenant decision.
Why is a Christian matchmaking programme worth more than a subscription?
Because the work is different. A subscription sells you access. A programme sells you screening, an introduction chosen with care, twelve weeks of structured content, weekly oversight, safeguarding, coaching and a recorded decision at Day 90.
What does Haiti Meets Nigeria cost?
Our fees are published in full on the pricing page: an application fee, a readiness assessment, and the ninety-day journey tiers. You will always see the figure before you commit, and an invoice is raised in writing before access opens.
How do you keep these market figures accurate?
Each figure is stored with the wording it was reported in, a source link, and the date we last verified it. Our team reviews every figure on a ninety-day rhythm, and any figure that goes unverified for a hundred and twenty days is withdrawn from display rather than shown as current.
Are the prices on this page official quotations from those companies?
No. They are publicly reported reference points, gathered for comparison only. Providers change prices and run promotions, and figures vary by country, device, age and package. Always confirm directly with the provider.
Do you offer refunds if it does not work out?
Our refund position, cancellation terms and payment structure are set out in the membership terms in our legal library, and the same terms are shown at checkout before you pay.
