Features

Everything you can do on Samanvaya

A plain guide to every feature, what it does, and whether it is free. Samanvaya is for adults aged 18 and over who are looking for marriage. Nothing here is public, and a person reviews every profile.

A profile people can trust

Real people, checked, in their own words.

  • Guided profile builder

    Free

    Step by step: your background, family, work, faith, lifestyle and what you want. You can build one for yourself, or help an adult family member who has agreed.

  • ID check

    Free

    Show a government ID and take a selfie on our partner’s secure page. We never see your document or pictures, only the result. Your profile then shows “ID verified”.

  • Team review

    Free

    A person on our team reads every profile and looks at every photo before anyone else can see them.

  • Job and education badges

    Free

    Prove a work or school email address with a one-time code. Your profile shows a badge with the website name, never your email.

  • Selfie check and references

    Free

    Send a selfie for our team to compare with your photos, or ask someone who knows you to confirm your profile.

  • Voice intro

    Free

    A spoken hello of up to 30 seconds. Our team listens first, then only members you are connected to can play it.

  • Bucket list

    Free

    Choose up to ten things you hope to do in life. Dreams you share with a connection are highlighted.

  • Dowry-free pledge

    Free

    An optional promise, shown as a small badge. Other members can filter for it, and the team can remove it after a report.

  • Photo protection

    Free

    Our team can see when the same picture is on more than one profile, and can search the internet for a suspicious photo. Photos also lose hidden location data when stored.

Finding the right people

Matches you can understand, and ways to browse that suit you.

  • Match score, with reasons

    Free

    Every card shows how well a person fits your preferences, and why. You also see how well you fit theirs, so you can tell when it goes both ways.

  • Today’s picks

    Free

    A fresh set on your home page each day, chosen for how well you fit each other.

  • Filters

    Free

    Age, height, where they live, distance from your city, mother tongue, religion, marital status, diet, education, habits, languages, interests, visa status, “open to moving”, verified only and more.

  • Describe who you want

    Free + Premium

    Type what you are looking for in your own words, for example “a vegetarian doctor in the US, open to moving”, and we turn it into filters.

  • Words first

    Free

    Hide photos while you browse, so you notice what people write about themselves.

  • Surprise me

    Free

    A fresh mix every day that is not ordered by score. Someone you might have scrolled past.

  • Second look

    Free

    See the people you hid more than 30 days ago, in case you feel differently now.

  • Horoscope matching

    Free + Premium

    Add your nakshatra and rashi, or your birth details, and see a compatibility score. Premium adds the full eight-part breakdown, doshas, and sorting by horoscope.

  • Shortlist, notes and compare

    Free

    Save people, add private notes and labels, pin favourites, and compare two side by side.

  • Saved searches and alerts

    Premium

    Keep up to 10 favourite filters, and get a notification when a new profile fits one of them.

Reaching out

Gentle ways to say hello, so nobody is pressured.

  • Interests

    Free + Premium

    Tell someone you are interested. Free members send 5 a week and Premium members 10 a day. You can buy extra interests that never expire.

  • Quiet like

    Free

    Like someone without them being told. If they like you quietly too, you are both told and connected. Five a week.

  • One Chance letter

    Free

    One short, thoughtful letter to someone you are not connected to, instead of many messages. They choose to connect or let it pass. Two a week, one per person.

  • Mystery Room

    Free

    Meet blind. Two ID-verified members are paired under made-up names and answer five simple questions. Each chooses privately whether to reveal. Only if both say yes are you connected.

  • Blind Sunday

    Free

    Every Sunday is the day members come to the Mystery Room together. Ask for a reminder and pairing is quicker.

  • Notes with interests

    Free + Premium

    Add one short note so the person hears from you before they decide. Free members pick a ready-made note, Premium members write their own.

  • Chat

    Free + Premium

    Once an interest is accepted, message as much as you like. Free chat is text with letters and . , ? ! only. Chat Plus adds emoji, numbers, links and social names.
