I haven't been in the dating market for over 3 years, since I met my girlfriend on Coffee Meets Bagel, but I used a lot of different dating apps prior and in numerous cities around the world. My experience was that Bumble was exactly like Tinder, except that on Bumble I had a lower match rate, but a slightly higher rate of matches resulting in an actual conversation. I found no difference whatsoever in the "seriousness" of the people involved. Most people were using Bumble for hookups.

Maybe that's changed, but I honestly believe the only dating app currently available that's actually worth using if you want a relationship and not a hookup is Coffee Meets Bagel. I had more and higher quality dates, including meeting my now 3+ year girlfriend, on CMB than any other app.
