SprintDate review
A scheduled-event alternative to profile swiping, built around timed video rounds.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
SprintDate centers dating around scheduled events rather than profile browsing and swiping. Participants choose an online or local event, buy a ticket, and meet people in a sequence of short, one-to-one video conversations. After each timed round, each person privately records a yes, maybe, or no. A match forms only when interest is mutual, and chat opens for those matches. That makes SprintDate a fit for people who prefer a defined series of conversations over browsing profiles, and for event organizers offering online or in-person speed dating.
The event format is the product’s main distinction. Before rounds begin, a lobby lets participants preview their camera and microphone, while optional prompts can help start conversations. In-call reporting can end a conversation. Those tools support a structured video date, but SprintDate is not aimed at people looking for profile-led discovery: video profiles and livestream profiles are not part of its feature set. It supports the browser as well as iOS and Android apps, so its scheduled-event model is available across web and mobile.
SprintDate is paid, with a free plan, but the purchase model is event-based: tickets may be free or paid, and organizers set event prices and supported currencies. There is no general subscription price. Buyers should therefore evaluate the ticket for each event rather than expect a standard app subscription. The service is operated by 8CELLS Jarosław Kaczmarski, lists GDPR compliance, and offers email support. Its profile badges reflect event participation or an organizer check, not a guarantee of identity; people seeking formal identity verification should choose a service that provides it. SprintDate suits those willing to meet through scheduled timed rounds, but not those who want swipe browsing or verified identities.
