FAQ
Getting started
What is Otter?
A dating app that gets to know you before it introduces you. You answer real questions about your life and what you want, and every introduction comes with a reason behind it, not just a good photo and a guess.
How do I join?
Join the waitlist with your email and your city. Once the questions open, you will receive notifications when it's time to answer, so you're ready the day your city opens.
Who can join?
Anyone 18 or over. Montréal opens first, but the waitlist is open across Canada, and every signup counts toward your own city's opening.
Do I need to download anything yet?
Not yet. Right now, the only thing open is the waitlist. The question version of the app will be launching soon, so stay tuned.
The questions
Why 60 questions?
Because that's the point where we can introduce you honestly. Fewer, and we'd be guessing like everyone else. It's a little more work than other apps ask, and it's also the reason we think every introduction here will mean something.
Do I have to answer all 60 questions at once?
No. Once you download the questions app, you will be notified when to answer questions. And don't worry, if you miss the notification, the questions are always there for you to answer. Just make sure you answer all 60 questions before we launch in your city, to be eligible for founder tier pricing and promotions.
Can I skip any of the initial 60 questions?
Yes. Throughout the 60 questions, everyone will be able to replace up to 15 questions.
Can I skip any of the daily questions in the full version of Otter?
Yes. The more questions you answer, the better our system works, but you can skip any questions you don't want to answer.
Who can see my answers?
Nobody, until you match with someone. Even then, they see only a few of the places you line up, never the whole picture. And we never sell your data.
Founding membership
What does Otter cost?
You pay once. Before your city opens, the founding price is $59.99 CAD; after opening day, it's $79.99. Your membership renews every year for free, and if life pulls you away, you can come back whenever you want without paying again.
What does founding membership get me?
The founding price, locked forever, and your place among the people who were here first, on the app from day one. You will also receive early notifications for events and other promotions hosted by Otter.
When do I pay?
When the full Otter app launches in your city, you will be able to make your full profile, and you'll be prompted to submit payment to officially begin using the app.
Can I get a refund?
Cancellation and refund details will be spelled out clearly in our Terms when checkout opens. No surprises, no fine-print games.
Is there a referral program?
Yes. When checkout opens, your personal code gives friends money off their membership, and you get money back as they join. Full details with your code.
Cities
Why Montréal first?
Because Otter was built here, so it's only right we open our doors here first. Montréal opens when the community reaches enough members, so day one is full, not empty.
When does my city open?
When it's ready. Every city opens at its own membership milestone rather than on an arbitrary date, so if you want your city to be next, make sure to sign up. Founding tier works the same way in every city, so you won't miss out on the benefits that come with it.
Privacy and everything else
Is my data safe?
Your answers exist to find your person, nothing else. We never sell your data, deletion is real deletion, and our Privacy and Security pages spell out the details in plain language.
How do I delete my account or leave the waitlist?
Email [email protected] and it's done, and your answers go with it. Every email we send also has an unsubscribe link.
Have a question we didn't answer?
Write to [email protected]. A person reads it.
