The Platform

A Dating Platform
Built to Make Money.

Our platform does far more than match people. It gives you the commercial tools to turn a community into a business — flexible pricing, payments that work in every market you sell to, and the safeguards that keep the revenue flowing. You run the brand; the platform does the heavy lifting.

Ways to Earn

More Than One Way to Make Revenue

Mix and match revenue streams, set your own prices, and change them whenever you like. The platform supports the business models that work in modern dating.

Premium Subscriptions

Sell recurring Gold and Platinum memberships with the perks you decide — unlimited likes, who-liked-you, advanced filters and more. Monthly, quarterly or yearly.

Credit & Coin Packs

Offer one-off purchases members can spend inside the app. Ideal for markets where people prefer to pay as they go rather than subscribe.

Boosts & Spotlights

Let members pay to be seen — profile boosts, spotlights and priority placement that drive high-margin impulse purchases.

Superlikes & Extras

Small paid actions that add up: superlikes, undo, extra daily likes and other à-la-carte upgrades.

Virtual Gifts

Members buy and send virtual gifts to break the ice and stand out — a high-margin, impulse revenue stream. You can also gift premium memberships to drive loyalty.

Events & Meetups

Run free or paid events — speed-dating nights, singles mixers, premium meetups. Organise them yourself or let a vetted external partner host, with in-app ticketing and QR check-in at the door. New revenue plus real-world engagement.

Every cent your members pay is yours. We charge a flat platform fee — never a share of your revenue.

The Experience

A Product Members Actually Enjoy

Engagement is what turns sign-ups into paying members. The platform ships with the modern, familiar experience today's daters expect.

Rich, Real-Time Chat

Instant messaging with voice notes, photos, GIFs and WhatsApp-style message search. Premium-only touches like live typing indicators give members another reason to upgrade.

Reels, Photos & Video

Members bring their profiles to life with short-video reels and multiple photos — the modern, familiar format that keeps people swiping and scrolling.

Deep Profiles & Matching

Interests, personality traits, love-languages and zodiac tags power genuinely relevant matches — not just a photo and a swipe.

Map & Live Discovery

A swipe deck plus a map-based “Live” grid that shows who's nearby and online. Premium members unlock distance filters and can message live users directly.

Payments & Gateways

Get Paid, Everywhere Your Members Are

Payments make or break a dating business. The platform connects to the gateways your market already trusts — and when a market relies on a local provider, we integrate it for you.

Local Gateways — Integrated on Request

Shoppers in many countries prefer a local payment provider or a regional wallet over an international card scheme — and conversion suffers if you can't offer it. Tell us the gateway your market uses and we build the integration for you as part of a custom engagement. Your members pay the way they're used to, and you capture sales you'd otherwise lose at checkout.

  • Regional wallets and local card schemes
  • Bank-transfer, voucher and cash-voucher methods
  • Carrier & alternative billing where it fits your market
  • A tailored quote and timeline for each gateway

Growth

Built to Grow Into New Markets

Start with one brand in one country. Expand to many — without rebuilding anything.

Run Multiple Brands

Launch several dating brands from one platform — each with its own name, look, audience and pricing. Test a new niche without a new contract.

24+ Languages, incl. RTL

Members use your app in their own language — 24+ languages, including full right-to-left Arabic. Notifications, emails and even photo-rejection reasons are localized too.

Automatic Per-Country Pricing

Charge the right price in every market automatically. Purchasing-power (PPP) pricing across cards, Apple and Google — local currencies and country-specific promos — so you stay affordable in Lagos and premium in London.

Local Payments per Market

Combine regional hosting with the local payment methods members trust to maximise sign-ups and conversion in each country.

Reach Members Everywhere

A polished mobile web experience plus native iOS and Android apps put your brand on every device your audience uses.

SEO Landing-Page Engine

Hundreds of localized city and country landing pages pull in members organically — local copy, images and schema markup, and now visible to AI search engines like ChatGPT.

Growth Engine

Acquire, Convert & Retain — Built In

The platform isn't just where members live — it's how you find them, measure them, and keep them coming back.

Attribution & Analytics

Know exactly where members and revenue come from — UTM and referrer capture, web-to-app install tracking, signup conversion goals, and revenue, growth and retention dashboards broken down by country.

Lifecycle Engagement

Win members back automatically — scheduled, multilingual email and push campaigns with open, click and action tracking, plus re-engagement journeys that run without your team lifting a finger.

Referral & Affiliate Programs

Turn members and partners into a growth channel — a built-in referral programme that rewards invites with premium time, plus affiliate pages for external marketers.

Onboarding & Data

Launch With an Audience — and Keep Your Freedom

Moving to a new platform shouldn't mean starting from zero or getting locked in. We bring your community across, and your data stays yours — on the way in and the way out.

Migrate Your Existing Community

Already running on SkaDate, Chameleon, Dating Pro or another platform? We migrate your members, profiles, photos and basic history so you go live with a real audience instead of an empty app.

Data Export, Anytime

Request a full export of your members, content and billing records in standard formats whenever you like. Your business is never trapped — no lock-in, no hostage data.

A Managed Handover

We run the migration and onboarding for you and keep you informed at each step. Going live is a guided, scheduled process — not a scramble.

Trust & Safety

Safety That Protects Your Revenue

Fake profiles, bad actors and unsafe content drive chargebacks and put your apps at risk of removal. The platform's built-in safeguards keep your community healthy and your income protected — without a round-the-clock moderation team.

AI + Human Moderation

Best of both worlds: AI pre-screens every uploaded photo to catch nudity, fakes and non-face images instantly, then your moderators review the queue and have the final say — keeping your brand and your app stores happy.

ID & Age Verification

AI age estimation plus document-based ID verification and an impersonation lock keep minors and fakes out — with an underage-detection mode you control.

Fraud & Abuse Defence

IP and email throttling, abuse-database checks and device-integrity signals stop bots and risky sign-ups before they cost you chargebacks.

Photo Watermarking

Optional brand-logo and @username watermarks protect members' photos from scraping and reinforce your brand wherever images travel.

App-Store Policy Compliance

Built to pass Apple and Google review — including Google Play's CSAE child-safety requirements — so your apps stay published.

GDPR & DSA Ready

Data export and deletion, a moderation audit trail, Statement of Reasons and appeal flows — so you can enter regulated markets with confidence.

Member Onboarding

Decide How New Members Join

Sign-up is fully configurable. Choose the balance between growth speed and community quality that suits your brand — and change it whenever you like.

Instant & Open

Free registration with profiles going live automatically the moment a photo passes automatic review. The fastest path to a busy, active community.

Admin-Approved

Hold every new member and photo for your team to approve before they appear. Maximum control and the highest bar for quality and safety.

Your Own Blend

Mix the two — require photo verification, auto-approve trusted sign-ups and route only the rest for manual review. Tune it per brand and per market.

Frictionless Sign-In

However members choose to join, signing in is effortless — Google single sign-on, a one-time email code or magic link, or phone number with the country pre-filled. Fewer steps means more completed registrations.

Ownership

It's Your Business — Not Ours

Unlike revenue-share networks, Sparkle5 never sits between you and your members.

100% Your Brand

Your domain, logo, colours and tone throughout. Members never see any third-party or provider branding anywhere.

You Own the Audience

Your members and their data belong to you — never pooled, never shared, never resold.

0% Revenue Share

Keep every cent your members pay. You pay a flat platform fee and nothing more.

Tailored to You

Need Something Specific? We Build It.

A local payment gateway, a feature your market expects, a bespoke integration with your existing tools — if it helps your business grow, we can add it. Tell us what you need and we'll come back with a plan, a timeline and a fixed quote.
