Cancel Hinge+ / HingeX in 2026: Free Hinge Is Already Great
Updated February 2026 • 5 min read
What Hinge Premium Costs
- Free: 8 likes/day, basic filters, full messaging
- Hinge+: $35/month — unlimited likes, advanced preferences, see who likes you
- HingeX: $50/month — everything in Hinge+ plus priority visibility, enhanced recommendations
Hinge's premium tiers are among the most expensive dating subscriptions — $420-600/year.
How to Cancel
- iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Hinge → Cancel
- Android: Google Play → Subscriptions → Hinge → Cancel
- Deleting the app does NOT cancel the subscription
Why Free Hinge Works So Well
Unlike Tinder, Hinge's free tier is genuinely functional for dating:
- 8 daily likes: Forces intentionality — you only like people you're genuinely interested in
- Comment on specific prompts/photos: Opens conversations naturally (not just "hey")
- Full messaging: No paywall on conversations
- Quality algorithm: Hinge's "Most Compatible" feature works on free tier
- Designed to be deleted: Hinge's stated mission aligns with helping you find someone
The 8-Like Advantage
Counter-intuitively, the 8-like limit may help you more than unlimited likes:
- You read profiles more carefully instead of mindlessly swiping
- Your likes carry more weight in the algorithm (selective = higher desirability signal)
- You write better opening comments because each like matters
- Fewer but higher-quality matches lead to better conversations
⚡ Better Than Paying $50/Month
Invest the $50/month into activities where you meet people: climbing gym ($50/mo), running club ($0), cooking class ($30), co-working space ($100/mo). The ROI on in-person connections crushes any dating app premium.
