What is Venus?
Venus is a dating app concept from Humanoid Systems, designed end to end and ready to build for your business. It is made for people who want to meet someone with the same intentions, whether that is a partner for life, something serious, seeing where it goes, something casual or new friends.
Who is it for?
Founders launching a dating app in a city, a country or a community; matchmaking and events businesses that want an app of their own; and brands that want to bring their community together. We build Venus in your brand, with your name, your colours and the features your market needs.
The brand
Venus comes with its own identity: an editorial serif for headlines, a clean sans-serif for everything else, white and ink with one rose accent, and the evening star as its mark. We can rebrand it to yours, or keep it.
Every screen in Venus
11 screens, designed and ready to build. Tap one to open it in the demo.

Questions about this concept
Can you build a dating app like Hinge, Bumble or Tinder?
Yes. Venus covers what people expect from apps like these: rich profiles with photos and prompts, discovery, likes and matches, chat and a paid subscription. We build it in your brand, for your city, country or community.
How long does it take to build a dating app?
About 10 weeks from the first workshop to the App Store and Google Play, because Venus is already designed. We confirm the timeline after the workshop.
How much does it cost to build a dating app?
It depends on your features, markets and integrations. Because the product is already designed, it costs less than starting from scratch. We give you a fixed quote after a short workshop.
How does matching work in Venus?
People see one profile at a time on Discover, with their intent, distance and shared interests. Every evening at 7, Tonight’s picks suggests three people chosen for them. When two people like each other, it is a match.
How does a dating app like Venus make money?
Through Venus+, a subscription with monthly, three-month and six-month plans, billed through the App Store and Google Play.
How do you keep people safe on a dating app?
Profiles can be verified, anyone can be reported or blocked from their profile or chat, and the admin console gives your team the tools to review reports and moderate.
Who owns the app and the code?
You do. Once the project is paid for, the source code, the designs and the store listings belong to you.
