Date. Make friends.
Make plans.

One Dollar Hub is two separate products in one app — One Dollar Date and One Dollar Mate. Same mission: real connections, in real life.

A$1 a month when we launch. No gold, no boosts. Preregistering is free.

One Dollar Hub — One Dollar Date and One Dollar Mate

Two apps. One mission. Real connections.

One app. Two ways to meet people.

Dating and friendships work differently, so we built them differently — separate profiles, separate rules, separate feeds. One account, one price for both.

One login

One account gives you access to both One Dollar Date and One Dollar Mate. Your dating profile and your mates profile stay separate — the two pools never mix.

One price

A$1 a month when we launch, covering both products. No gold tier, no boosts, no paying to send a message.

One mission

Both sides push toward a real time and a real place — date plans, hangouts, games, and venue check-ins, not an endless feed.

One Dollar Date

Meaningful dates, not endless swiping.

Dates is built to be intentional. You get a small, ranked queue, chat that only opens when you both choose it, and several ways to meet that aren't a swipe deck.

  • 3 open dating matchesA smaller queue, so you actually reply.
  • Chat opens when you both opt inTap "Let's chat" on each side before messages deliver.
  • 48 hours to messageMatches nobody uses close, so the list stays real.
  • Date plans and gamesJoin a real time and place, or play first and see faces after.

One Dollar Mate

Friends, activities and real plans.

Mates is a separate friends product with its own profile and its own username. No dating rules, no cap on friendships — just people to do things with.

  • Unlimited friendsNo match cap and no 48-hour timer.
  • A separate Mates profileYour own @username — dating details don't carry over.
  • Activities and hangoutsCoffee, walks, gigs — post one or join one nearby.
  • Groups and communitiesFind a crew by interest and suburb, or start one.

Local deals in One Dollar Hub you can turn into a plan

In both products

The parts that get you out of the house.

Dates and Mates share the same real-world layer — the same venues, the same check-ins, the same local deals.

Play & Match

Quick social games you can jump into. On Dates, names stay hidden until the game ends — then you can like who you actually enjoyed playing with.

Here

Optional venue check-in shows who else is out at the same place. It runs for 6 hours and checks you out automatically — no always-on GPS.

Plans & activities

Date plans on Dates, hangouts on Mates. Both are a real time, a suburb and a venue you can ask to join.

Local deals

Partner offers at local venues, filtered for a first date or a hangout, that you can turn straight into a plan.

People aren't just matching. They're meeting.

Plans, venues, local offers and check-ins are built into the product — because the point is the night out, not the app.

Safety

A safer way to meet.

Both products are 18+ and share the same safety toolkit. Dates adds extra tools for the moment you actually go out.

Identity verification

Submit an ID selfie and a short hand-reveal video for review. It's optional, and you can choose to see only verified people in Discover.

Report & block

Report a profile, a chat, a game answer or a group. Blocking hides someone across both Dates and Mates.

Emergency contact & fake call

Save someone you trust, and trigger a realistic fake incoming call if you need an easy way to leave.

Date check-in reminders

A Dates feature: set reminders while you're out so someone knows you're safe.

Photo blur

Blur profile and chat photos until you tap, so nothing opens before you're ready.

Moderation that acts

Reports are reviewed by our team, and accounts can be restricted from games or the whole platform.
