For some reason, it’s become customary in the matchmaking and dating app industry to never show pricing for your services until after someone has created an account. While this may help companies close more sales, it can be an annoyance for someone budget-conscious trying to make a decision.
To help solve this, we’ve done the digging and included the most up to date listing we have of Match.com’s pricing. This includes pricing for each of the three membership types, the features you get, a la carte purchase options, and payment plans.
If you’re thinking about joining Match, make sure you read our Match.com review first. Match was recently sued by the FTC for attempting to trick customers into purchases with fake love interests. You are going to want to read this before you sign up.
We would also recommend taking a look at how Match compares to it’s competition before spending any of your hard-earned money on a membership (TLDR; it might not be the best value for your cash).
With that shared, let’s go ahead and look at exactly what it costs to join Match.com with a premium subscription.
Match.com’s paid subscriptions start low, but watch for a la carte charges.
Match memberships range from $3.32 per month up to $42.99 per month, depending on which of the three plans you select and how long of a membership you buy. Additionally, Match.com sells three a la carte add on options for purchase on top of your subscription fee.
| Membership | Length | Monthly Cost | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 3 months | $6.66 | $19.98 |
| Bronze | 6 months | $4.99 | $29.94 |
| Bronze | 12 months | $3.32 | $39.84 |
| Silver | 3 months | $27.99 | $83.97 |
| Silver | 6 months | $16.99 | $101.94 |
| Silver | 12 months | $10.99 | $131.88 |
| Platinum | 3 months | $42.99 | $128.97 |
| Platinum | 6 months | $26.99 | $161.94 |
| Platinum | 12 months | $20.99 | $251.88 |

A la carte options start at $9.99 per month
While the overall membership cost is affordable, you should be aware that each membership does not come with all of the available features on Match. These additional features cost between $9.99 and $11.96 per month, or $31.94 extra per month for all features.
These features are:
- Hand picked profiles by Match’s dating experts: $11.96 per month
- Priority likes to stay at the top of someone’s likes: $9.99 per month
- Private mode where you can choose who sees your profile: $9.99 per month
Memberships can be paid for in full or broken down into four payments.
In years past, most matchmaking companies and dating apps required you to pay for your full membership upfront. Today, though, we’ve seen companies begin deviating from that, including Match.com. When you purchase a membership, you have the option to pay in full or break your payment down into four separate payments.
Keep in mind that you get no additional savings paying for your membership all upfront. Additionally, if you choose to cancel your membership at any point, you are still responsible for the additional payments.
