They got me a very good number of dates like they said they would. Is absolutely not a Scam. My match maker Shyne did amazing work. Recommend if you are struggling.

Service is ok
Service is ok. For the money they charge, for me, it was not worth it. Essentially all they do, is click like and chat with people on dating apps for you. Yes, there is some intelligence built in from the conversation they have with you. But they did not impress me much, certainly not for the price paid. Its decent service.
Response from VIDA SelectMay 22, 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad the service met your expectations, and we appreciate the honest feedback.
Online dating can be genuinely exhausting, hours of swiping, crafting messages, and managing conversations that may or may not go anywhere. Our service is built for people who want to reclaim that time and have an expert team working the process for them. For those who are already comfortable doing it themselves and don't mind the grind, the value will naturally feel different. That's something we work hard to communicate upfront, and your feedback helps us do that better.
We wish you the very best in your search.

ViDA Select improves Dating App Results and Experience
ViDA Select handles the tedious and frustrating aspects of dating apps. Most of the ghosting is filtered out by the time you interact with the women. They filter for what you're looking for so you get a selection of women you're actually interested in, and it's way more likely the women are going to be interested in you too. I really appreciate Nordika as my account manager and Rosalia is super for solving any issues.
Using ViDA Select consistently gets much better results than I'm able to do by myself.

Working with you was truly so much fun and I appreciate the thoughtful feedback you always shared with me. Wishing you nothing but success and great connections moving forward! ❤️ Nordika

Nordika has been an incredible
Nordika has been an incredible, attentive, kind match-maker. The process with the dating app (hinge) has been a learning process since the whole process is a bit awkward (a third party swiping and chatting with parties in my behalf). I had many questions in the beginning of the app dating process, which Nordika patiently responded to. As a result, I'm letting go some control (which isn't always easy for me!) and trusting the process more.
There haven't been many hinge candidates that I am excited about, but the two Vida clients I have been sent seem like great matches that check many of the attributes of a partner that I'm looking for

Susan, this is your fourth review about the same database membership experience, even though we came to a resolution that you accepted in December. I offered to get on the phone with you again in January, but you declined the opportunity. My offer still stands. [email protected]

$3,100 for Zero Dates Over Two Months
I spent $3,100 on VIDA Select over two months and one "free" week. I got zero dates, zero phone numbers that led anywhere, and zero results.
Their website promised "99.6% of clients get dates" and "82% start relationships within 3 months." The sales call said my requirements were "totally achievable - we've done this for years." But on the matchmaker call, the narrative shifted: they guarantee hours of service, not matches. Still, "90-something percent get dates in the first month." I'd already paid $300 non-refundable, so I continued. Each month cost $1,300, plus $400 spent outside for suggested new clothes and photosession.
When results didn't materialize, they blamed shadow-bans on all 4 platforms. I contacted support - all said my accounts were fine. Then they blamed needing paid subscriptions - I paid $100 more. Then wrong city, so we expanded from Tampere to Helsinki. Then wrong country, so we expanded to Berlin. Then "cultural differences in Finnish market." Then "it takes 3-4 months" after promising first-month results.
Over two months I received 10 total approval requests. One was a Philippines scammer they counted as a "match." One violated my explicitly stated requirements, also counted as a "match." Three total conversations happened, all under 3 exchanges before ghosting or unmatching. Their Berlin "success" meant match rate increased from 2 to 7 per month, but conversation rate stayed at 1 per month with under 3 exchanges. The final free week produced nothing.
I had specified during onboarding that I wanted them to arrange dates, not just get phone numbers. With the one real match who met my requirements, they asked for her WhatsApp after only 2 messages and handed it off to me. She never responded. When I asked them to continue the conversation on Tinder, they refused, citing policy: once the client starts chatting, they never impersonate the client with that person again. They violated my chosen strategy, got no result, then used policy to avoid fixing their mistake.
Getting information required increasingly specific questions. When I asked about progress with two matches, the matchmaker said one was "super responsive" and the other "wasn't very responsive." When I asked for screenshots, "super responsive" meant 2 messages before ghosting, and "wasn't very responsive" meant zero messages - she admitted she'd mistakenly thought she saw a response that never existed. She told me "2 new Bumble likes" were coming for approval - they never came. When I followed up, she said they'd "since unmatched." This pattern of contradictions and false information continued throughout.
After I asked what would change if I renewed, their Customer Success Manager said: "We're not in the business of asking clients to 'pay more and hope it works.' The team doesn't have any fresh ideas on your account." They fired me as a client but offered zero refund.
The contract specified 40 hours of service per month - photo selection, profile writing, swiping, messaging. They delivered the hours, legally fulfilled their obligation. No outcome guarantees anywhere. Marketing promises 99.6% success rate, contract only promises hours of tasks.
Read the contract, not the marketing percentages. They promise dates in sales calls but only guarantee hours of service legally. When you get zero results, they've already fulfilled their contractual obligation and keep your money.
Edit: Down below is a perfect example of achievement inflation you'd get along the whole path. "modified our messaging approach based on cultural feedback" really means "we used canned entry lines in 2 conversations, received 5 responses total, and never had a chance to try anything else".

Hi Freywar, Rosalia here. Thank you for sharing such comprehensive feedback about your experience.
I want to address your characterization that we "fired you as a client." When you inquired about renewal, I specifically advised against continuing because I didn't believe it would be in your best interest. After two months of trying various strategies without achieving the results you deserved, we genuinely felt it would be wrong to accept more of your money. This wasn't a termination - it was me trying to protect your financial interests even though it meant turning away revenue for our company.
You've accurately described the challenges we faced together. The Finnish market presented unique difficulties we hadn't fully mastered. Despite exhausting multiple strategies - expanding from Tampere to Helsinki to Berlin, trying different platforms, adjusting our approach - we couldn't achieve the results either of us wanted. When it became clear we'd run out of fresh ideas, the ethical choice was to be honest about that rather than continue charging you.
Over your two months with us, our team made significant strategic adjustments to optimize your results. We expanded your search radius from Tampere to Helsinki and eventually to Berlin when local matches proved limited. We adjusted your profile multiple times, tested different photo combinations, modified our messaging approach based on cultural feedback, and recommended platform changes. When we suspected shadow-banning, we troubleshot across all four platforms and recommended premium subscriptions. We did begin to see improvement - your match rate increased from 2 to 7 per month in Berlin - but I understand this still fell short of your expectations for actual dates.
You're right about the distinction between marketing statistics and individual results. Our aggregate success rates don't guarantee individual outcomes, especially in challenging markets. While we delivered the contracted 84 hours of service, I understand that fulfilling technical obligations means little without actual dates.
The WhatsApp handoff situation you described was poorly handled, and I apologize. Our policy about not re-engaging after client takeover could have been adjusted here.
Your detailed feedback has been invaluable. Despite the disappointing outcome, I hope you can see that we genuinely tried to act in your best interest, even when it meant advising you not to continue paying us.

Lied about my ethnicity and height just to get matches, they'll DM anyone - even transwomen! I had better matches before paying them.
I couldn't be more dissatisfied with these people - I had documented better matches in Austin before even paying them. I have dozens of matches in NYC but couldn't figure out why Austin was different. They convinced me I'd get at least a date or 2 after one month, but right now Rosalia is emailing me to offer a 20% refund after they lied about my ethnicity and height. She even has the nerve to say most clients use the service for 3-4mo and get matches. Who tf would get a 2nd month after getting no matches in 1mo? They got me zero matches after 6 weeks starting in February and have still been trying after May to get matches, by talking to transwomen and "gain traction."
After 6 weeks I said maybe I just wasn't a good candidate in this city, and mentioned I'd accept a partial refund. All they do is make your profile extremely generic and comment on girls prompts by asking them the most obvious questions about their comments. It is a complete template, run by algorithms. I will post more details on a website when I get a chance, you can just do what they do on your own. I have app and email screenshots to show. Save your money, do not use this bullshit service. Anyone giving good reviews prob just didn't have time to swipe - it's ok for that. Garbage if you think they have an edge on intel.

Solid Matchmaking Experience!!
Overall, I really appreciated this experience! I wasn't exactly sure what to expect going in, but my matchmaker Nathaly was incredibly helpful, open, and informative whenever it involved my profile or my preferences to the point where I felt like I could be completely honest and open with her!
I suppose the things I disliked about the service were the expense and reliance on dating apps. The service was well over $1000 a month for me for something that ultimately utilized Hinge, Bumble, and Tinder. I completely understand how it may seem like a scam at the outset. However, VIDA does all the communicating on the apps so you don't need to interact with them at all, and they do this multiple times per day, whereas I wouldn't have been feeling that amount of interaction after a long day of work. This amounts to ~ a date a week depending on your preferences.
For me the thing that was amazing was not having to interact with the apps, especially once I accept that this is THE way to meet potential partners (unfortunately). My mental health was spared by not worrying when to text back, whether somebody ghosted me, or whether they had any interest in me. By the time VIDA had contacted me (after an initial message of whether I was attracted to the person), they had already set up a date, times and location which I agreed to or had gotten their phone number. This allowed me to put all my energy towards the dates themselves, which ended up being great times even if we didn't think we were compatible after meeting. All of this hasn't mentioned that VIDA also can also setup your profile and images based on what you give them.
They're not miracle workers, but what they provide they excel at, and the constant contact with the matchmaker rounded out the experience. Definitely recommended if your struggling with the apps or speed dating isn't quite working out.
