the process

how matchpod works.

no brokers. no random strangers. just smart matching that starts with the person, not the property.

step 01 of 04

tell us your situation

have a room, need one, or open to either? we tailor your entire experience from step zero — different feeds, different matches, different flow.

takes 10 seconds
changes how your profile is shown to others
can be updated anytime from settings

step 02 of 04

your lifestyle, quantified

sleep schedule. cleanliness level. noise tolerance. food habits. smoking. pets. this is the data that actually predicts whether two people can share a home.

6 lifestyle categories
takes about 2 minutes
this is what your compatibility score is based on

step 03 of 04

swipe on compatibility, not just photos

every card shows you a live compatibility breakdown — budget match, habits match, personality match — before you decide. you’re not swiping blind.

see lifestyle %, budget %, personality % per card
filter by has room / needs room
