Is Tinder Platinum Worth $600/Year?
Let's be honest about what you're paying for:
- Priority Likes โ your profile shows up first. Marginal benefit in practice.
- Message Before Matching โ you can attach a message to Super Likes. Most people ignore these.
- See Who Liked You โ this is the only feature with real value, and Tinder Gold ($29.99) has it too.
- Unlimited Likes โ also available in Tinder Plus ($9.99).
At $49.99/month ($599.88/year), Tinder Platinum is one of the most expensive dating subscriptions. If you're not actively getting dates from the premium features, you're burning money.
Cheaper (or Free) Alternatives
- Hinge (free tier) โ designed for relationships, free version is very usable
- Bumble (free tier) โ women message first, solid free experience
- Tinder Free โ limited likes but functional for casual use
- Coffee Meets Bagel โ curated daily matches, free tier works well
