Common Questions

Is CosDates free to use?

Yes. The Sidekick tier is completely free — full profile, fandom matching, liking, and messaging with matches. The Hero tier ($9.99/mo) unlocks premium features like seeing who liked you and the Convention Meetup Board.

How does matching work?

CosDates uses a fandom-first algorithm. You are surfaced to people who share your fandoms, cosplay from the same franchises, and plan to attend the same conventions. When two people both like each other, a match is created and messaging unlocks.

Is this a hookup app?

No. CosDates is built for real connections — romantic, platonic, or collaborative. Users set their connection intent: Romance, Friendship, Crafting Partner, or Con Crew. Zero adult content is tolerated on the platform.

What fandoms are supported?

All of them. Marvel, DC, Star Wars, anime, Nintendo, Final Fantasy, Zelda, Pokémon, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Studio Ghibli, Cyberpunk, Steampunk, horror, and original cosplay creations.

What is the Convention Meetup Board?

A premium feature where users post which conventions they are attending and what kind of connection they want to make. Browse by event name or date, then connect through the normal match flow.
