Bumpy dating app: $10K a month, self-reported in 2022, 35M+ downloads

Bumpy is an international dating app for people seeking meaningful relationships with singles worldwide. Its $10K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of February 2022.

What it actually sells

Bumpy is an international dating app for meeting singles worldwide. Its site says, “Find your international soulmate,” and describes a community where the majority of members are seeking meaningful and long-lasting connections. Users can create profiles, share details about themselves, add photos, and browse verified profiles worldwide.

Where it sits in the data

Bumpy's $10K a month is higher than 66% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, this needs real work because the buyer is a dating-app user seeking an international relationship. Distribution would need a visible acquisition path, while the product would need profiles, photos, profile verification, messaging, and automatic translation. Competition, safety, moderation, and support would also add substantial operating demands.

The support load can be significant because dating products need ongoing responses to reports, abuse, account problems, and payment issues. Privacy, identity, and online-safety rules can affect development and operations across countries. Building trust and maintaining verification, translation, and moderation are central challenges in this category.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

Bumpy combines international dating, profile creation, photo features, browsing verified profiles, automatic translation, email signup, and app downloads. The site displays 35M+ downloads, 500k+ reviews, and a stated 4.6 score.
