1-to-1 social engagement is becoming the mainstream social method due to its advantages such as high matching efficiency, low consumption threshold, simple interaction ability, and strong monetization ability. In regions with a high demand for entertainment socialization, 1-to-1 social applications account for half of the Pan-Entertainment apps. 1-to-1 social engagement is more socially focused and private for users, making it simpler to develop social ties and have personalized conversations. It also enables users to find matches and make friends based on their own interests and hobbies.

User conversion is impacted by connection time. The typical 1-to-1 platform charges users a small fee for host matching. After a brief chat, users pay to extend calls. For providers, the key to monetizing 1-to-1 social engagement lies in facilitating a seamless user journey from match to transaction. The speed and fluidity of transitions between stages determines a user’s likelihood of completing a paid order or subscription.
