Project Background
Project Background
Roamate is a compatibility-first platform designed for solo travelers to find travel partners and split costs. The app aims to end the "Solo Tax" - the extra costs solo travelers pay for single supplements, two-person minimums, and similar surcharges. Unlike dating or swipe-based apps, Roamate uses personality-based matching to connect travelers with compatible companions.
Empiric Infotech was engaged to build a cross-platform mobile app with real-time messaging, background check integration, and social community features.
