I registered in this website for free initially since it was quite popular by TV & online advertisements. To my surprise, I found only a less amount of bride profiles.
Though the interface is helpful with required filters to search apt profiles, I didn’t find quite a number of current profiles or new profiles even after 3 weeks. Then I took the payment route. The only advantage with paid membership is you can view horoscope & contact details, as well as chat online. Beware of false promises provided by Sales team of bharatmatrimony for making you a paid member.
Their only intention is to make you subscribe to whatever plan they feel will be suitable to you. If you haven’t logged-in for a few days due to non-interesting profiles, the support guys will simply call & discuss about mutual profiles which the system automatically throws without checking for star, horoscope match & other details. Here, unless you see promising profiles in free membership & lots of profiles for your requirements, I strongly recommend against going for a Paid membership.
Please note here, that anybody who wants to take online route to search for bride or groom, please check the credibility of portal for having god amount of current profiles & not old profiles.
