Aphinity
Aphinity helps organizations run recurring one-to-one introductions for coffee chats, mentorship, and onboarding. Its official site describes matching programs that use member profiles and preferences, then deliver introductions through the communication channels the group already uses.
Designing a matching program
An organizer defines the matching criteria and cadence, then customizes questions to collect member preferences. Criteria can use interests, goals, or experience, while the scheduling options include weekly, biweekly, and monthly rounds. You can invite members with a shared link or import them from a CSV file.
The service describes separate programs for new-hire buddies, cross-department coffee chats, and mentorship. Each can have its own questions and matching rules. For a mentorship program, decide which profile information matters before inviting participants; for a general networking round, use questions that help members find a useful conversation topic.
Delivering introductions and tracking participation
Aphinity integrates with Slack, Discord, and email for match notifications and introduction messages. The site describes direct messages in Slack and Discord, plus email introductions with suggested topics. Member profiles include availability and time-zone preferences to support scheduling suggestions.
Organizers can monitor participation, match completion, satisfaction scores, and feedback summaries. Post-match feedback and trend reports give you information to review as you adjust the program. These measures describe activity inside the matching process; they do not by themselves establish that a program improves employee retention or career outcomes.
Choosing a matching tier
The pricing page distinguishes Basic's random matching from Pro's custom AI matching. Basic is listed at $15 per month for up to 24 active users, with weekly rounds and basic analytics. Pro is listed at $99 per month per 200 active users, with selectable frequency and advanced analytics. Enterprise has custom pricing and additional controls such as SSO and branding.
Active users are members who take part in at least one matching cycle during a billing period. This makes participation, rather than total signups, the relevant number for estimating a Pro subscription. The homepage advertises free early access, while the pricing page describes a fourteen-day trial. Confirm the enrollment terms offered to your organization before planning around a free period or paid start date.
