How to Cancel Tinder Gold/Plus/Platinum (2026) — Stop the Auto-Renew
Updated 2026-02-14 · 5 min read
Tinder Gold costs $29.99/month ($360/year). Platinum is $39.99/month. These are some of the most expensive app subscriptions people forget about — especially after finding a partner. Here's how to cancel without losing your matches.
⚠️ Deleting the app does NOT cancel your subscription. You'll keep getting charged monthly until you cancel through your phone's subscription settings. This is the #1 mistake people make with Tinder.
How to Cancel Tinder Premium
iPhone (Most Common)
Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions
Find Tinder → Tap it
Tap "Cancel Subscription"
Confirm cancellation
Android
Google Play Store → Profile icon → Payments & subscriptions
💰 Age-Based Pricing: Tinder charges more if you're over 30. The same Gold plan can cost $14.99/mo for a 22-year-old and $29.99/mo for a 35-year-old. If you're over 30 and paying premium, you're being charged nearly double.
What You Keep After Canceling
Existing matches and conversations: All preserved
Profile: Stays active (unless you delete account)
Free features: Limited likes, basic swiping still works
Premium features: Lost at end of billing period (see who likes you, unlimited likes, etc.)
Cancel vs. Delete Account
Cancel subscription: Stops payment but keeps your profile and matches active.
Delete account: Removes everything — profile, matches, conversations, permanently gone. Only do this if you're done with Tinder entirely.
