Jeevansathi FAQ
Is Jeevansathi better than Shaadi.com?
For many North Indian families, especially in UP, Bihar, MP and Rajasthan, Jeevansathi is as good or better and cheaper to start. For South India, NRI matches or a pan-India search, Shaadi.com is stronger. Many families use both.
Is Jeevansathi free?
You can create a profile and browse for free, but contacting people needs a paid plan. On the App Store in India, Pro Lite starts at ₹1,699 and higher Pro plans go up to about ₹5,999.
Who owns Jeevansathi?
Jeevansathi is run by Info Edge (India) Ltd, the company that also runs Naukri.com and 99acres.
Is Jeevansathi good for South Indians?
Not as a first choice. Its South Indian community coverage is limited. Bharat Matrimony's community sites or Shaadi.com work better.
How do I avoid fake profiles on matrimony sites?
Prefer verified profiles, talk on a video call before meeting, involve family early, and never send money to anyone you met on the site, whatever the reason.
