Our review
★★★☆☆ 3.3
Raya admits members by committee, keeps acceptance rates famously low, and bans screenshots to protect its celebrity-adjacent crowd. Profiles are slideshows set to music, and the network doubles as professional networking for creative industries. If you get in, it is a small, glamorous pond; most applicants simply never do.
Pros
- Highly curated membership
- Strict privacy culture
- Doubles as creative networking
Cons
- Acceptance is a lottery
- iOS only
- Small pool outside LA/NY/London
