Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to know about Patri before you sign up. Still have a question? Email us.

Is Patri free to use?
Yes. Posting your profile, browsing other profiles, liking, and matching are all completely free on Patri. You only pay a small fee when you want to start chatting with someone you have matched with — there is no subscription and no recurring charge.
How is Patri different from a regular dating app?
Patri is a matrimonial app focused on serious, marriage-minded connections — not casual swiping. Three things set it apart: every profile goes through a selfie liveness check so you know you are matching with real people, there are no swipe limits or daily caps, and you only pay when you actually want to chat. No subscription required.
Do I need a subscription to chat?
No. Patri does not use a subscription model. Instead, you buy chat credits as you need them, so you only pay when you have found someone worth talking to. This is dramatically cheaper than a monthly subscription on most matrimonial or dating apps.
How does Patri verify profiles?
When you upload your first photo, you complete a quick selfie liveness check (powered by FaceTec). This confirms that the person in the photo is real and present, not a stock image or AI-generated face. The result is a community of verified profiles where catfishing is much harder.
Is there a swipe limit on Patri?
No. You can browse and like as many profiles as you want, every day, with no daily cap. We believe artificial scarcity is a paywall trick — not a useful product feature.
How much does it cost to chat on Patri?
Chat credits are sold in small bundles. The exact pricing is shown on the Buy Credits page inside the app. There is no minimum spend and no auto-renewal — you decide when (and whether) to top up.
Can I use Patri on my iPhone or Android phone?
Yes. Patri is available as a native iOS app on the App Store, on Google Play for Android, and as a fully responsive web app at www.patri.club. You can use the same account across all three.
Is Patri safe to use?
We take safety seriously. Profiles are verified with a liveness check, photos and chat content are screened for inappropriate material via Azure Content Safety, payments are processed securely through Stripe and Apple In-App Purchase, and you can block or report anyone who makes you uncomfortable.
Can I delete my Patri profile?
Yes. You can permanently delete your profile and associated data from inside the app at any time, free of charge. See our Privacy Policy for details on data retention.
Does Patri work for matrimonial matches in India and the diaspora?
Absolutely. Patri serves people who are looking for marriage-minded relationships globally. Filters cover home country, region, religion, education, height range, and more, so you can find matches that fit what you are looking for.
What information do I need to create a profile?
A valid email or phone number, a username and password, at least one verified photo, and a few profile details (age, location, what you are looking for). The full profile has roughly 70 optional fields you can fill in over time to get better matches.
Can I use Patri without uploading a photo?
You need at least one verified photo (Photo 1) to be discoverable. This is part of how Patri keeps the community authentic — every profile you see has been through a real-person check.
