Chemistry.com has been described as the sister site of Match.com—it focuses on “chemistry” to help users create meaningful, long-term matches.
Chemistry.com differentiates itself from other online dating services through a four-step process: The You Part, The Matching Part, The Email Part, and The Date Part. The You Part involves the completion of an in-depth personality test that is unique to
Chemistry.com.
Users answer questions that help match them with other users based on regular compatibility criteria (age preference, movie preference, etc.), as well as chemistry criteria that is determined by the personality test. Instead of displaying potentially hundreds of possible matches,
Chemistry.com matches users with up to five individuals per day who are most compatible based on the results of the test. This unique approach to online dating makes
Chemistry.com one of the most interesting services on the web.
Chemistry.com caters to the following relationship types:
- Straight
- Gay/Lesbian
- Single-income marriage
- Double-income marriage

- Committed relationship not leading to marriage
Chemistry.com offers a free membership, which includes:

Chemistry.com has a very uncommon search functionality: Once user preferences are entered,
Chemistry.com selects the appropriate matches, so users who enjoy browsing many different profiles might find this method unsatisfying.
