How to Cancel Plenty of Fish (POF) Premium in 2026

Updated February 2026 · 3 min read

POF Premium costs $19.99/month (or less on longer plans). Unlike most dating apps, POF's free tier is genuinely usable — you can message matches, view profiles, and use basic search without paying. Premium mostly adds who-viewed-you data and removes ads.

Cancel on iPhone

1. Open Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions
2. Find Plenty of Fish
3. Tap Cancel Subscription
4. Confirm — you keep premium until the billing period ends

Cancel on Android

1. Open Google Play Store
2. Tap profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions
3. Find Plenty of Fish → Cancel subscription

Delete Your POF Account Entirely

If you want to remove your profile completely (not just cancel premium):

1. Open the POF app → My Profile → scroll down
2. Tap Help → Delete Account
3. Or go to pof.com/deleteMyAccount.aspx on a browser
4. Cancel your subscription first — deleting the account doesn't stop Apple/Google billing

Is POF Premium Worth It?

• Free messaging: POF is one of the few dating apps where you can message for free — the main reason to keep using it
• Premium perks are weak: See who viewed you, ad-free, expanded search — none of these meaningfully improve matches
• Match Group owns it: POF is owned by the same company as Tinder, Hinge, and Match.com — they optimize for keeping you paying, not finding a partner
• User base declining: POF's active user count has dropped significantly as users moved to Hinge and Bumble

Free Dating Alternatives

• Hinge (free tier): Better matching algorithm, daily free likes, can message matches
• Bumble (free tier): Women message first, free messaging with matches
• POF Free: Keep using it — messaging works without premium
• OkCupid (free tier): Detailed profiles, free messaging
