Muzz (formerly Muzmatch) is one of the largest Muslim marriage apps, launched in 2011 and renamed in 2022. ZemZem is a newer app designed for halal marriage. Here is what each offers, based on Muzz's public information and how ZemZem works.

Positioning

ZemZem

An app designed for halal marriage: every profile shows what the person is looking for and their practice level, with a compatibility percentage.

Muzz

"Where Muslims Marry": a Muslim marriage app that also offers a friends feature, Muzz Social.

Both are built for marriage. Muzz asks for your marriage timeline at sign-up; ZemZem shows a compatibility percentage on every profile.

Photo privacy

ZemZem

Your photos are blurred by default and only become sharp for your matches; you can also make them public. Screenshots are blocked.

Muzz

Muzz lets you keep your photos private until you're ready to share them, and blocks screenshots.

Both protect your photos. On ZemZem, blurring is the default: there's nothing to switch on.

What's free

ZemZem

Sign-up, discovering profiles, matching and chatting with your matches, up to 25 swipes a day. Optional Premium adds unlimited swipes, the list of people who liked you and advanced filters.

Muzz

Muzz says members can always match and chat for free. Muzz Gold adds filters, more daily likes, a weekly boost, undo and rematch.

Both let you match and chat for free.

Profile verification

ZemZem

Email confirmed with a code, moderated photos, report and block in one tap. Selfie verification is optional and adds a badge to your profile.

Muzz

A selfie is required to join, phone numbers are confirmed by SMS, and an optional ID check adds a blue badge.

Muzz goes further here: its selfie check is required, while ZemZem's is optional.

Devices and size

ZemZem

Android app on Google Play. The iPhone version is in development.

Muzz

iPhone and Android apps. Muzz says it has 20 million members.

Muzz is much bigger and available on iPhone; ZemZem is newer and Android-only for now.

Verdict

Muzz has size, an iPhone app, required selfie verification and a marriage timeline on every profile. ZemZem focuses on photos blurred by default and a compatibility percentage on every profile, in a smaller community. Both are free to match and chat: if you're on Android, try ZemZem alongside Muzz with no commitment.
