ChristianMatchMaker Reviews

ChristianMatchMaker is an ideal pick for people who understand that their faith is an important part in a relationship, and seek other singles who share their beliefs. The site provides all of these people a purely Christian community. Naturally, this means that the profile system is specifically catered to this, as the site for instance asks about your calling, or the regular intervals of your attendance.

Starting a conversation is quite smooth and easy. The basic way of messaging is done through emails, where you can send a simple text to your lovely target. In case you are a well-mannered gentleman or lady, try clicking the “show interest” button first, as it’s a more polite way to notify someone about your affection. Also, this second feature is truly free on your part, while sending free messages is only available during temporary periods, and most of the time only premium members can use them. Mega winking is also a great way to get as many singles’ attention as possible. You can choose from a given number of messages – if you are a paying member you can write your own – which will be broadcasted within a large area of users. Lastly, the most effective option is the instant messaging, aka live chatting. For subscribed users only, of course.

Today’s generation is a mobile generation: people regardless of age like to take their dating activaties along with them during their everyday tasks. ChristianMatchMaker only comes halfway to these expectations, as the service hasn’t got its own smartphone app, but the site is compatible with smaller mobile screens. Of course, this is a relief, since accessing the site from your smartphone’s browser is a great way to distract you from the boring bus ride, or pad your time during the lunchbreak. All the features you know from the desktop version of the site are here, but they’re just rearranged to spare you from constantly swiping side to side. Browsing through profiles is also easier this way. On the other hand, the lack of a smartphone app is a painful loss. This way, all users are incapacitated from receiving regular notifications when their partner sent a message or someone showed interest in them.

As you come to expect, most dating sites, ChristianMatchMaker included, offer freedom in the form of a gilded cage: you are free to register, no credit card info needed, and you aren’t even charged for browsing. ChristianMatchMaker even goes so far to occasionally allow you to send a free message. But the pay-hammer strikes down right when you wish to live chat, or send emails to others without limitations. Thus becoming a paying member is the only way to ensure you not only find, but also keep the love of your life. As for the actual prices, ChristianMatchMaker reduces the monthly charges if you choose a longer plan. The one-month-plan costs you $29.95, while the three month plan is $19.98 per month. The semi-annual membership starts from $14.99 per month, but on the longer run the most beneficial is the annual plan, reducing the price to only $10.00 per month.

ChristianMatchMaker isn’t really a step up to similar sites like MatchMaker, rather more of a private room for a smaller group of people. Although it gives rarely enough opportunity to flesh out your generic personal profile, it’s competent enough to serve your needs while searching for soulmates. The matchmaking and community features are interesting, and the user base is international, although the activity is somewhat staggering. The site is handled easily both on computer and smartphones, but sadly there is no separate app for smartphones and tablets. Lastly, you are offered the chance to register free of charge, but you might be stopped at the doorstep of love if you don’t subscribe to a pricy private membership.
