Arike vs Lasting Bloom

Arike is India's first vernacular dating app that is designed to bring Malayalis residing in and outside India closer for one common reason — finding long-lasting relationships. The word 'arike' translates to 'close-by' in Malayalam. So, the app is designed to offer high-intent dating experience that is culturally aligned with Malayali needs. Arike's unique approach to appreciating sensitivities has made it one of the fastest-growing vernacular dating apps in the country. Features: Setting Cultural Preferences: Arike appreciates the Malayali cultural nuances and choices that define Malayali ways of living. We have the preference features on the app that is tailor-made to make sure you find what you're looking for in a person. And to help you in breaking the ice, we host a gamut of Keralan pop culture references that you can use in your profile answers — from food to TV shows and cinema. Send 'Notes': Arike 'Notes' serves as the best kind of conversation starter which lets users express their interest in someone you really like, by writing to them directly. For all we know, you are just an effort away from the right match. Arike 'Premium': Arike 'Premium' is an in-app paid feature through which you can send more requests and notes, see who sent you requests and unlock more preferences. Arike 'Select': Arike 'Select' is our latest paid feature with everything you need to find your perfect match quickly.
