AI-Assisted vs. Human-Assisted (and Why We Chose Neither)
Professional matchmakers cost $5K-$50K and rely on one person's judgment. Love On Deck puts the matching entirely in your hands.
What Professional Matchmakers Does
Professional matchmakers charge $5,000 to $50,000+ and use their personal judgment to pair clients. They interview you, search their network, and present candidates. The process is high-touch but depends entirely on one person's interpretation of compatibility. Algorithmic matchmakers use engagement data as a proxy.
What We Do Differently
Love On Deck puts the matching entirely in your hands. You set the criteria. The system executes. No human bias, no algorithmic bias, just your preferences and mutual consent. Both sides must pass each other's filters. You're the matchmaker.
Feature Comparison
The Verdict
Matchmakers add a human touch at a premium price. Love On Deck gives you the control at a fraction of the cost. If you want someone else to choose for you, hire a matchmaker. If you want to choose for yourself, get On Deck.
