100% Free to Chat • No Hidden Paywalls

A free friendship and dating app — where “free” means real communication.

Yarbuddy is free to download, free to match, and free to message. You never pay to start a conversation or to reply to one. Here is the honest, transparent breakdown of what is free forever and what optional upgrades add.

How matching works

The Essentials

Free forever. No payment required to chat.

Once you match, conversations are 100% free forever. No coins, no credits, and no paywall to send or read messages.

Mutual Matching

Swipe, match, and connect without spending a single dollar or rupee. If someone likes you back, your chat opens immediately.

Human & AI Photo Moderation

Every profile photo is reviewed to stop bot spam and fake profiles before going live. High quality for everyone, zero charge.

See Who Liked You

View people who liked your profile without being forced into an exorbitant monthly subscription trap.

Optional Speed & Privacy

What optional upgrades add — and what they don’t

The honest truth: optional upgrades simply make discovery faster and provide convenience features. They never gate basic human communication — talking to your matches remains free for everyone.

Unlimited Likes

Faster Browsing

Removes the daily timer so you can like as many profiles as you want without waiting for a refill.

Priority Notes

Stand Out

Attach a thoughtful note before matching or send a priority like to stand out at the top of their discovery queue.

Incognito Browsing

Total Privacy

Only be visible to profiles you have already liked. Anyone else browsing will never see your profile.

Global Passport Mode

Worldwide

Explore connections and friends across Bangalore, Mumbai, London, New York, Dubai, or anywhere worldwide ahead of travel.

Clear Answers

Common questions about free chat & matching
