In order to register you need to fill out a personality test

Majority of users who join post their photos.
You will see the list of all the currently online users.
The site's main target population are Indian singles who are looking to find a marriage partner.
Members are required to indicate their religion and caste classification.
Majority of the members ask for a photo verification first before connecting to other people.

The "Online Matches" section is always populated, but you can only start chatting after you have upgraded your account. There are no fake profiles but a lot of profiles do not have a single photo. One of the possible reasons for this is the strict profile photo verification process. Every photo that you will upload on your profile will have to be verified before they become visible to other users. Jeevansathi permanently deletes profiles who are proven to have uploaded any kind of obscene material or violated any privacy rule as the community has a traditional orientation.

Signing Up

You can create an account for yourself or for a friend or relative.
Mobile phone verification is a requirement.
The registration can take up to 10 minutes.
Required details are mother tongue, religion, marital status, height, and country.
There is a 24-hour verification process before you can finally use your account.

Jeevansathi allows you to create an account for yourself or another person.

Due to this, you are allowed to use your mobile phone number for two accounts: for yourself and a relative or friend.

Making Contact

There is a free search tool available.
You will receive multiple match types: Desired Partner Matches, Just Joined Matches, Verified Matches, Mutual Matches, and Kundli Matches.
You can hire your own Relationship Manager to find you a marriage partner.
Messaging is for premium users only.
You can get in touch with other users for free through the "Send Interest" button.

There is a chatroom

Jeevansathi has a massive membership worldwide, but you can only message other members if you upgrade your account to premium. If you are on a free account, the most that you can do to appear on another person's radar is to hit the "Send Interest" button. Even after doing this, however, you will not be able to send a message even if the "Interest" is returned.

You will receive thousands of matches every day that are classified into five types:

Desired Partner Matches – are those who qualify your search preference.
Just Joined Matches – are new members who qualify your criteria.
Verified Matches – are profiles that have verified photos.
Mutual Matches – are profiles that have the same details as yours
Kundli Matches – are profiles that have the highest compatibility with you based on your horoscope.

You can browse these lists under the "Matches" drop-down of the site.

Profile Quality

You may see all the photos of other members without a paid membership.
Non-paying members may see all the information inside a profile.
You may show or hide your Horoscope (Kundli) details in your profile.

The profiles are quite detailed
The profile information can be changed later
Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free
You may add your photos later.

Jeevansathi profile pages are elaborative. You will see details about a person's family members such as their name, age, and marital status because the Indian culture is very family-centric. The profile is divided into four sections: "About," "Education & Career," "Family Details," and "Desired Partner."

Members are not allowed to post obscene photos or text in the profile. This may lead to permanent deletion of the profile. The site wants to maintain that their matrimonial services are meant to connect people who are interested in marriage instead of mere dating.

App

All functionalities in the desktop version are available on the app.
The design looks clear and appropriate.
The app is available for Android and Apple devices.
It is free to download.
There are no additional features in the app.

The app is just as smooth and reliable as the website. However, since the desktop version has so many functionalities, the app feels a bit cramped with information. Since there are no top-navigation bars in the app unlike the desktop version, getting familiar with the functionalities is overwhelming. Despite this, there is no problem with the app's performance and can do everything that the desktop version can offer.

Real Life Review

I come from a very traditional Indian family when it comes to matrimony which is fine so far. I knew that the time will come when they will pressure me to find an Indian partner, get married, and have kids. It did.

Having an account with Jeevansathi was actually a surprise. I was not the one who signed up, my brother made an account for me. I am not a sucker for privacy so I agreed to do it. I also thought that I should try it out of respect for my brother who did the effort. I have been here for one full year and still looking. I hope I eventually find the one because the fees are not a joke. Maybe they do it for the members' safety? I'm not sure either. Wish me luck. -Rajesh, 29

Design and Usability

The Jeevansathi site is pleasing to the eyes and uses fonts that are easy to understand--even the matrimony aspects to it. They put a little question mark beside every unique functionality that they have. When you hover your mouse over these question marks, a small text box will pop-up so you can view the information about that particular functionality. The site also offers 24/7 customer support available through a chat box inside the site which is handy if you have any questions.

Editors Conclusion

Jeevansathi is a matrimonial matchmaking site that goes from simple to very complicated, there are no in-betweens.It offers two types of premium services: one that will allow its users to look for someone themselves, and the other will give you your personal "Relationship Manager" who will have to get to know you so he or she can find the best partner for you. These two types of premium services can be bought at the same time because they have entirely different benefits. They have reliable customer service who are patient enough to explain some things, but it is noticeable how they lead you at the end to purchase one of their products.What is good about Jeevansathi is that you can customise what you want to get from the site. However, on the negative side, you will have to pay a significant amount so you can have the highest possible chance of finding someone who will have the mutual feeling of wanting to enter marriage with you. You will have to pay for premium as almost all functionalities are locked for free accounts. If you want a site that you can test out first before jumping into the premium train, you can check out our Matchmaker category for more options.
