Relay — Dating through people you trust Dating apps put you in a room full of strangers. Relay does the opposite: everyone you meet is a friend of a friend. When someone catches your eye, you don't just see a profile — you see how you're connected. A mutual friend. A shared circle. A real path between the two of you. And when you both want to talk, the introduction goes through that friend, the way it would in real life. Why Relay feels different • No random strangers. Every person is reachable through someone you already know. • See the connection. Relay shows the mutual friend who links you — before you ever say hello. • Warm introductions. Matches open through a real person, not a cold swipe. • Consent on both sides. A chat only starts when you both say yes. • Your world, mapped. Explore the living map of communities your network reaches. Built to feel human Relay is calm, private, and made for real connection — not endless swiping. Your ratings of friends stay private. Your photos are stored securely. And you can report, block, or permanently delete your account any time. How it works 1. Join through your friends. 2. Browse people you can reach through mutual connections. 3. See exactly how you're linked. 4. Ask a friend to introduce you. 5. Match, chat, and meet — through someone you both trust. Relay is for people 18 and older. Meet through friends. That's the whole idea.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Relay at none against Pixavus's 6. Relay also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Pixavus's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
