How Chispa Works
Signup Process
You can sign up using an SMS or Facebook verification. It takes under three minutes to set up an account, and presto! Finally, you are ready to start exploring.
Although you don’t need to complete your profile, doing so improves your chances for more interactions.
Matchmaking & Search Functions
The search criteria are simple. Chispa’s design will yield quick matches with searches based on location that you can filter by age group. Once two users mutually like each other, both receive the "like” notification and are free to message each other.
Given the simplicity, matchmaking is superficial and primarily based on a mutual love for avocados and the quality of pictures. Pictures and limited prose typically occupy profile spaces. If you want to get to know someone, you will have to try harder.
Features & Communication Tools
If you’re a non-paying user, you can browse profiles, see pictures, send 30 likes per day, and send unlimited messages to your matches. In addition, the free version offers chat messaging with up to 30 matches.
It’s easy to get a date, and there’s no need to pay unless you’re looking for a broader dating pool. You can customize the age and geographical profile of the match you want to meet. You also receive a batch of personalized profiles daily, which widens the potential for mutual matching and conversation.
Safety & Security
Chispa’s verification measures are sparse, so the likelihood of fake accounts is high. Anyone can create fake phone numbers with any number of apps that are out there. Given the number of incomplete profiles, it’s hard to learn more about some of the users. Therefore, it’s imperative that you use caution and self-protective steps to ensure your privacy and safety. Video chat is a great way to ensure that the person you are chatting with looks like their profile picture.
Chispa’s Dating and Safety Tips provides detailed instructions on blocking users and reporting suspicious activity. They also have a plain-language privacy policy and have dedicated security teams to keep your data safe and secure. You can request a copy of your personal data by emailing customer service: contactus@support.chispa-app.com.

Chispa Pricing
Signing up for and using Chispa is free. However, the app also offers you a variety of paid premium membership options starting from $12.49 per month.
Prices per Boost, which is a sponsored, 30-minute profile highlight
- $3.99 1-pack
- $13.99 5-pack
- $19.95 10-pack
Prices per Super Like that alerts your potential connection immediately
- $4.99 5-pack
- $14.99 25-pack
- $23.99 60-pack
As with any app, the more you invest, the less you will spend per month. Boost prices are per 30-minute boost of a profile. In addition, Super Chispa purchases enable users to send likes that alert a potential connection immediately (rather than only after mutually “liking” each other).
The Premium memberships allow you to rewind on people previously swiped left, send five Super Chispas per day, Boost your profile once per month, send unlimited likes, and remove the ads.
The Elite membership provides all premium benefits, plus a peek at who likes you.
Bottom Line
Chispa is at an early stage of development, so there is room for improvement, particularly regarding the app’s technology. However, it’s encouraging that customer service responds and reacts to feedback. Given the overall excellent rating, Chispa has a bright future as it expands worldwide.
Compared to other apps, the free services offered are enough to meet compatible individuals. It is particularly heart-warming that Chispa shows its love for the Latino community by donating to Celebration Nation to support the Mexican avocado farmers. Let's help spread love in the world. The rest (your dating life) is up to you.
