Aphinity
Aphinity automates recurring 1:1 introductions for human resource teams, community managers, and program organizers who want members to meet without manual pairing. You define matching criteria, set a weekly or monthly cadence, and Aphinity sends introductions through Slack, Discord, email, or Telegram where people already work and chat.
Most coffee chat tools shuffle names at random. Aphinity scores matches on goals, interests, roles, and experience, then collects post-meeting feedback so later rounds get sharper. The site also positions itself as a Donut alternative with Discord and email support, not just Slack.
HR and People teams run onboarding buddy programs, cross-department coffee chats, and mentorship tracks. Alumni offices pair students with graduates by major and career path. Founder groups, diaspora networks, and professional associations use the same engine for member retention programs that would otherwise live in spreadsheets.

Which platforms does Aphinity support for introductions?
Aphinity delivers match notifications and introduction messages through Slack, Discord, email, and Telegram. Basic plan subscribers pick one platform, while Pro and Enterprise customers can run programs across multiple channels at once.
How much does Aphinity cost per month?
Aphinity Basic costs $15 per month for up to 24 active users. Pro costs $99 per month per 200 active users, so a community with 350 active matchers would pay $198 per month. Enterprise pricing is custom and requires contacting the sales team.
Does Aphinity offer a free trial?
Yes. Aphinity includes a 14-day free trial on Basic, Pro, and Enterprise with full feature access and no credit card required at signup. Paid subscriptions begin after the trial unless you cancel from account settings.
How does Aphinity matching differ from random pairing?
Aphinity reads member profiles, goals, experience levels, and stated preferences before making a match, while random tools like Donut pair names without compatibility signals. Aphinity also collects automated feedback after each introduction to refine future rounds.
Can Aphinity run multiple programs at once?
Yes. Aphinity supports unlimited matching programs on Pro and Enterprise, each with its own questions, rules, and cadence. A company might run a new-hire buddy track, a leadership mentorship program, and a general networking round in parallel.
What analytics does Aphinity provide?
Aphinity tracks participation rates, match completion, satisfaction scores, and feedback summaries in a dashboard. Pro and Enterprise plans add engagement trend views and exportable reports for stakeholders reviewing program health.
