Is there an app like Nomadtable without profiles or chat?
Upfora has no profile for anyone to browse and no chat: it is an app for meeting someone new nearby, and it picks the match for you. You tap Now, and Upfora finds one match, one person or a table of up to four, and suggests three places to meet. Nomadtable is built for people travelling solo or living abroad; every fact about it below quotes its App Store listing.
| Nomadtable, as its App Store listing says | Upfora | |
|---|---|---|
| Made for | "Traveling solo or living abroad?" | People nearby who are open to talk to someone new, now or at a set time they book |
| Your profile | "Sign up & set your profile (age, home country, languages spoken, travel interests)"; "Optional profile verification" | Your profile holds your first name, birthdate, languages, interests and gender, and nobody browses it. Before deciding, the others see your first name and what you have in common, and no photo, age or bio |
| Finding people | "See who’s nearby"; with Nomadtable Plus, "See the full list of nearby travelers" | No list: Upfora picks one match, one person or a table of up to four |
| Talking before you meet | "In-app messaging & group chats" | No chat, before or after the meeting |
| Where you meet | "AI-powered recommendations" with "personalized activity and venue suggestions" | Three places that are open and practical for everyone; the person who started the search picks one |
| Your location | Its App Privacy section lists "Precise Location" under "Data Linked to You" | Used to match you and suggest places, and never shown to another person |
| Price | "Free · In‑App Purchases" (Nomadtable Plus) | Free for users |
Private by design
Nobody browses a profile on Upfora. Before you decide, you see the other person's first name and what you have in common, and they see the same about you: no photo, no age, no bio. Upfora uses your precise location to match you and suggest places, and never shows it to anyone. Your number stays private unless you both choose to share it after you meet.
Fast
When you tap Now, a search lasts 30 minutes, and whoever you're matched with has 90 seconds to answer. The place comes with the invitation, so there is nothing to arrange.
Natural
You meet someone whose photo you haven't seen, and that is the exciting part: you go with curiosity, and you find out the rest across the table. There is no chat before you meet, so your first conversation is the one you have in person.
Nomadtable suits people travelling solo or living abroad who want to see who is nearby, plan trips and chat in groups before they meet. Upfora suits people who want to meet someone new nearby, without a profile to browse or a chat to keep up.
