Apps Like Hiki for Friends and Dating
Hiki isn’t for everyone. Here are the best dating sites to try instead, depending on what you want.
When to look at Hiki alternatives
Hiki is built for neurodivergent adults, and nothing else offers quite the same understanding, so it’s worth keeping if it works for you. People look at apps like Hiki because few members live nearby, or because Premium costs a lot for a small community.
If you’re also disabled or chronically ill
Dateability is built for people with disabilities and chronic illness, and you can swipe, match and message for free. See Hiki vs Dateability.
If you like detail before you start talking
OkCupid asks lots of questions and shows how your answers compare with someone else’s. Many people find that it makes chatting easier, because there’s plenty to talk about. It also works on the web.
If you want written prompts and more people
Hinge builds profiles around prompts, so you can reply to something specific rather than starting from nothing. You can mention being neurodivergent in your profile if you like.
If you want to take things slowly
Coffee Meets Bagel gives you a small batch of people each day, which can feel more manageable than an endless feed.
If you’re looking for friends
Our friendship apps ranking lists apps for meeting people without dating pressure. Our dating sites for people with disabilities ranking and introverts ranking cover more options too.
