Badoo is a social network created in 2006 by the Russian Andrey Andreev . The company is based in Soho, London, although it is owned by a company in Cyprus. This is a social dating network whose main objective is to make new people known among its users. For its operation, it uses a rating system among the users themselves, very similar to the one used by Tinder .

In addition, it is one of the most sought after social networks on the internet. This platform has a “ freemium ” type service, so we can use it without any expense with certain limitations.
But once inside it, you have the option of being able to make a small income that will improve our user experience. This is a monthly subscription of around ten euros a month that will offer us advantages that the basic account does not offer us.
