Comparison
Mybzz vs Shapr: where swipe networking lives now.
Shapr pioneered swipe-to-match networking — and then quietly disappeared. Here is what replaced it.
Shapr was the app that made professional networking feel like matching: a daily batch of relevant people, swipe right to connect, talk only when the interest is mutual. It built a loyal following — and then it vanished from the App Store and Google Play. Mybzz is where that experience continues: the same swipe-to-match mechanic, rebuilt exclusively for entrepreneurs, with AI matching by business goals and networking events built in.
Verdict
The quick verdict.
If you loved Shapr, Mybzz is the closest thing available today — the same daily-match, swipe-first experience, with a sharper filter: everyone on the other side is an entrepreneur.
If you never used Shapr, the short version: it proved that matching beats feeds for professional networking. Mybzz takes that idea further with business-goal AI matching, verified profiles and built-in events.

About Shapr
What happened to Shapr?
Launched in the mid-2010s, Shapr called itself “Tinder for networking”: 10–15 curated profiles a day, swipe to connect, chat on mutual interest. It was simple, low-pressure and genuinely fun — and it attracted professionals of every kind, from founders to recruiters to job seekers.
Today Shapr is no longer available in the App Store or Google Play, and the community that made it work has scattered. Searches for a Shapr alternative keep growing — because nothing about the idea was wrong. The mechanic works; it just needed a focused community around it.
That focus is exactly what Mybzz adds: an entrepreneur-only network where every match runs or builds something, matching driven by business goals rather than job titles, and networking events when you want to meet face to face.

What is the best Shapr alternative?+
For entrepreneurs, Mybzz is the most direct replacement: the same swipe-to-match mechanic, plus AI matching by business goals, verified entrepreneur-only profiles and built-in networking events.
Can I import my Shapr connections to Mybzz?+
No — there is no import path from a discontinued app. The good news: matching on Mybzz starts working from day one, so rebuilding a relevant network takes days, not months.

Yes. The core experience — profile, AI matching, browsing and events — is free. The optional VIP Lifetime Access is a one-time payment, not a subscription.
