unmaskd. and Hiki, compared
unmaskd. and Hiki are both built for neurodivergent adults looking for friendship or dating. Here's what's actually different between them, so you can decide what fits you.
What's actually different
Hiki is built for friendship and dating. unmaskd. adds a third option: collaboration, for creative projects, accountability, or working together on something.
On Hiki, profiles use text, audio, or video prompts tied to a match-request flow. unmaskd. profiles are built around structured fields — communication style, energy limits, boundaries, support needs — visible before anyone reaches out.
Hiki's verified badge is a Premium feature. On unmaskd., verification — a selfie review by our team — is available to any member for free.
Hiki offers optional paid Boosts and Sparks that increase a profile's visibility or the odds a match request gets noticed. unmaskd. has no paid visibility features. Discovery runs on the filters you set, not on what you're willing to spend.
Hiki is free to join, with an optional paid Premium tier and in-app purchases. unmaskd. is free to join and free to use, with no paid tier currently.
Which one fits you
Hiki may fit better if paid visibility features matter to you — seeing who's interested, or boosting your profile. It also has more people on it right now, since unmaskd. is still small and early.
unmaskd. may fit better if you'd rather have free verification and no paid visibility features. It also adds the option to look for collaborators, not just friends or dates.
Trying both isn't unusual, and nothing here asks you to choose just one.
How unmaskd. works
Profiles are structured, not prompt-based — communication style, energy limits, boundaries, and support needs, laid out before anyone reaches out. Discovery uses filters you choose, not an algorithm. See how it works.
Where unmaskd. is right now
unmaskd. is in beta and still small on purpose — growing through real participation rather than opening everywhere at once.
