BiCupid vs. CouplesAndUnicorns: Which App Actually Helps Couples Find a Third?

My partner and I have been dipping our toes into the unicorn-hunting waters for a while now, and honestly, the app struggle is real. We've bounced between a few platforms trying to find a genuine connection with a single woman who's actually interested in joining a couple for more than just a one-time thing. The article on Medium breaks down two of the bigger names in this niche—BiCupid and CouplesAndUnicorns—and it really got me thinking about what makes or breaks these experiences. From what I gathered, BiCupid has a much larger user base since it's been around forever and caters to the broader bi and bi-curious community. That sounds great on paper, but in practice, it means you're wading through a sea of profiles that aren't strictly couple-and-unicorn focused. You might get lucky and find someone open to it, but it's not a given, and the filtering can feel like a chore. CouplesAndUnicorns, on the other hand, is built specifically for this dynamic, which means everyone on there is at least theoretically on the same page. The trade-off? A way smaller pool of people, so your options might dry up fast depending on where you live. The real talk, though, is about how the apps handle the couple's profile. On BiCupid, it often defaults to showing two people as one account, which can feel a bit couple-centric and sometimes gives off that "we're a package deal, human connection secondary" vibe. CouplesAndUnicorns apparently lets you break things down a bit more, showing individual personalities within the couple, which feels more respectful and transparent. It seems to lead to conversations where the unicorn actually feels like a person rather than a fantasy fulfillment service. So for those of you who've actually waded into these waters—what's been your real-world hit rate? Are you team bigger pond with more fishing, or team tiny pond where everyone knows what they’re biting? And be real: how do you avoid coming across as just another couple looking for a bedroom prop?
