By: Michael Luca, Stephanie Chan and Essie Alamsyah
Abstract
Paktor is a popular mobile-based online dating app from Singapore, where a user can swipe right or left on a profile to indicate her interest in a potential match. The case is designed to explore issues related to pricing, market design, and launch strategies in the context of online marketplaces. Students are asked to evaluate Paktor’s existing design features and pricing and formulate recommendations on design choices, pricing, and global expansion.
