NoPayNoDate

Dating where men pay a deposit to unlock the conversation

NoPayNoDate is a dating platform where women set a financial deposit ($20–$200) that men must pay to unlock the chat. No more ghosting, no more empty openers. Men put skin in the game before messaging — women get paid if they decline. The platform takes 10% commission. A premium subscription ($19.99/mo) boosts visibility in search. Built solo in a few days with Next.js, Stripe Connect (escrow flow), Pusher real-time chat, and deployed on Vercel. Would love your feedback on the concept and UX!
