Known is a matchmaker in your pocket. Tell us who you are on one voice call, and we'll introduce you to one person at a time, then book the date for you. The swiping era is over. Swipes and likes turned dating apps into an endless dopamine chase. Small talk is exhausting, and by the time you finally meet someone, it's often too late for anything real. Known gets to know you first, then handles everything until you're sitting across from someone worth meeting. In early testing, 80% of Known introductions led to an in-person date. Not chats that fizzled out. Real dates, in real life. Not a game. Not a job. Not a gamble. HOW IT WORKS 1. A voice call, not a form You talk, and Known listens: who you are, how you live and what you want from a relationship. Most members spend about 26 minutes on the call. Known writes your profile for you and keeps it current as it learns more. 2. One introduction at a time No feed and no queue. Known sends one hand-picked introduction, chosen from what it knows about both of you. 3. 24 hours to say yes You both have 24 hours to accept. If either of you passes, the introduction closes and Known starts on your next one. 4. Ask Known before you meet Ask anything you'd like to know about your match before the date. Known answers from what it learned on their call. 5. The date, handled When you both say yes, Known checks your calendars, picks a local restaurant that fits your tastes, dietary needs and budget, and makes the reservation. All that's left is to show up. 6. A quick check-in after A short follow-up after each date helps Known make your next introduction better. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE KNOWN - No swiping: one considered introduction instead of an endless feed. - Built for serious relationships: everyone here wants something real. - Fully handled: from your first call to the restaurant reservation. Less scrolling. More intention. This is Known.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Known at 4.6 against Dice's 3.9. Known also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Dice's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dice sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Known sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Known holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Known has 2.1K ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Dice's written reviews are positive against 60% of Known's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dice ships an update every 3 months, Known every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
