1% vs doing it yourself.
Side by side.
We say when doing it yourself wins.
1% Concierge is for busy men who want dates with women they’re excited about. A dedicated team makes your photos and profile, then runs your dating apps for you. Doing it yourself can work too. Here’s where the two differ, so you can pick.

| Doing it yourself | |
|---|---|---|
| Where you meet her: the dating apps | Yes | Yes |
| New photos, no photoshoot | Yes | You find a photographer |
| Profile written for you | Yes | You write it |
| We run your apps for you | Yes | You do all of it |
| Dates booked into your calendar | Yes | No |
Every row is explained below, including the one where it’s a tie.
The first question
Where will you meet her?
Either way, it all happens on the same dating apps, and she’s on them right now.
1%: you meet her on the dating apps.
even
Doing it yourself: you’re on the same apps. Both start there.
So the difference is your photos, and who does the work.
Dead even on where you meet her.
Where we differ
Here’s where we’re different.
Key difference 01 · Your photos
She sees your photos
before anything else.
Doing it yourself
A photographer, a friend with your phone, or an AI image app.
A good photographer can take good photos of you. A generic AI image app sees a couple of selfies, then guesses. Whichever you go with, you choose the photos and write the bio yourself.
1%
New photos, no photoshoot.
Start from 750+ proven templates. An AI learns your face from your own photos, then makes new photos of you. A real editor works on every photo, with unlimited revisions.
Then we write your profile, in your voice. Every photo is yours to download.
If a photo doesn’t look like you, it gets redone.
Todd V co-founded 1%.
His photo
What they made
He gave our image editors this photo. They made these. Todd never left his house.
He used photos his friends took. Barely any results. Then 6 dates in week two.
Great in person, but no dates from the apps. Then about 3 dates a week, 2 to 3 months in.
“… thanks to Atlas and Kaity I […] went on 70+ dates in one year. They helped me create a stellar profile for online dating …”
The verdict
Pick doing it yourself if
you have good photos from this year, and they’re already getting you dates.
Pick 1% if
your best photo is a few years old, or it isn’t getting you dates.
Key difference 02 · The apps
Then someone has to run the apps.
Doing it yourself
You write every message.
You swipe, and reply between meetings. Then you turn a good chat into a date. Advice helps, but you’re still the one typing.
“It’s just a grind and like a second job if you have high expectations.”
1%
We run them for you.
We run your apps: we do the swiping and the messaging, and book each date from your brief. Dates go on your calendar, synced so nothing clashes.
Privacy mode lets you approve each match before anyone messages her.

Pick doing it yourself if
you enjoy the chats, and they already turn into dates.

your chats tend to go quiet before there’s a date.
Key difference 03 · Your evenings
1% is one call. Doing it yourself is a lot. Of… evenings.

Every job, yours.
Doing it yourself means doing all of it: the photos, the bio, the swiping, the replies, the plan. Then doing it again when it stalls.
