These recommendations are based primarily on my own dating-app research and experiences as a man and a tech enthusiast.

Tinder app is a good platform for a hookup or an LTR (long-term relationship). It is basically the first stop for those entering the dating world. In Africa, Tinder is immensely popular in Nigeria and Kenya.
The hookup platform is one of the best when it concerns keeping a low profile. More than 40% of the users use the app for confidence-boosting and less than 5% of its users seek a relationship through the app. The app exposes very little about the users' profile, makes initial messaging more challenging and it enables personal secrets kept especially for a one-night stand hookup.

OkCupid provides its users with multi-faceted matchmaking, questionnaires, a spotlight on social justice, and a low price point which later helps the users to match with other singles who can be a potential match. The app is particularly popular in India and stands out from competitors.
The League is an "elite dating app" that requires a user's application to get access. A user's profession and school attended are major factors The League considers before accepting an application which is why a Linkedin account is required.
Big cities tend to have long waiting lists, so you might find yourself twiddling your thumbs as your application goes through the process. (Of course, you can pay to hurry up the review.) The exclusivity can be a draw for some and a turnoff for others.
