Verve review
Android-focused LGBTQ+ dating with mandatory verification and a feature-rich paid tier.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
Verve is a mobile dating and community app for lesbian, sapphic, bisexual, queer and non-binary people. It is designed for Android users who want profile-based discovery alongside community participation. Members can set identity, pronoun and orientation details, use location filters or travel mode, and connect through chats, posts, interest groups and events. Verve operates worldwide, while iOS is described as in development.
The free tier supports limited browsing, chats and community participation. Published plans show Premium Monthly at $5.50 per user per month and Premium Annual at $55 per user per year. Both paid tiers add unlimited matches and messages, advanced location filters, community feed access, event discovery and RSVP, profile boost features and priority support. This gives buyers a straightforward choice between monthly flexibility and annual billing, while keeping core participation available without a paid plan.
Safety is the product’s defining focus. Members must complete real-time liveness and identity verification before interacting, and messaging is end-to-end encrypted. Screenshot protection, message unsend, a media vault and Chaperone Mode add controls around private communication and trusted-person monitoring. In-app blocking and reporting are paired with human moderation, with GDPR listed as the compliance framework and email support available 24/7. Verve suits Android users who value verification and community features; people who need iOS access or prefer a service without mandatory identity checks should consider another app.
