Would you pay an annual fee for a dating app that promised a refund if you didn't marry?
Liangpei AI, a Chinese AI matchmaking app, charges an annual fee of Rs 28,155 (2,000 yuan) and offers a full refund if users do not marry within three years. Singapore has also released a dating app for government workers aged 21 to 35.
Why it matters
The refund model is designed to keep users invested amid dating app fatigue, while both launches reflect governments and companies responding to low marriage and birth rates. Singapore's total fertility rate of 0.87 children per woman in 2025 highlights the pressure behind such initiatives.
Liangpei AI reports more than 35,000 registered users and a conversion rate of about 9 percent, backed by Rs 21.11 crore (15 million yuan) in angel funding. The company has not disclosed how many members have received refunds under the three-year guarantee.
The players
Liangpei AI
Liangpei AI is a Chinese AI matchmaking startup that uses conversational profiling and one-on-one matching to position itself against conventional dating apps.
Government of Singapore
The Government of Singapore is the national administration of the city-state, which has been working to address its declining birth rate through policy measures.
The details
Liangpei AI builds profiles through a 20-minute AI chat covering family background, education, career, interests, personality and partner expectations, and limits users to one-on-one matches. Its AI Strategist assesses relationship issues using profile data and chat logs, while the Singapore government app is restricted to users aged 21 to 35.
Timeline
September 2026: Singapore releases its dating app for government workers.
Annual: Liangpei AI membership fee is charged each year.
Three years after joining: Liangpei AI refund eligibility deadline for users who have not married.
Big Picture
Singapore's total fertility rate fell to 0.87 children per woman in 2025, with fewer than 30,000 births recorded against about 26,500 deaths. Both the government dating app and Liangpei AI's marriage-guarantee model respond to this demographic pressure from different directions.
Users considering Liangpei AI should weigh the Rs 28,155 (2,000 yuan) annual fee against the three-year refund condition before subscribing. The one-on-one matching and 20-minute profiling process may suit those prepared to invest time in building a detailed profile.
The takeaway
Dating platforms are increasingly experimenting with guarantees and structured profiling to differentiate themselves from crowded markets. Readers weighing paid matchmaking should compare the stated refund terms carefully against their own timelines.
