Tinder's Tier Breakdown (What You're Paying)
- Tinder Plus: $9.99/month ($119.88/year) — unlimited likes, rewinds, passport
- Tinder Gold: $29.99/month ($359.88/year) — adds "See Who Likes You"
- Tinder Platinum: $49.99/month ($599.88/year) — adds priority likes, message before match
- Tinder Free: $0 — limited likes but fully functional
Is Tinder Plus Actually Worth It?
The main paid features: unlimited likes (Plus), see who liked you (Gold), and priority messaging (Platinum). In practice, the free version works fine for most people. The "See Who Likes You" feature in Gold is the only one with arguable value — and even that mostly shows you people you would have swiped left on.
Studies show no correlation between paying for dating apps and finding more matches. Your profile quality (photos, bio) matters infinitely more than your subscription tier.
Free Dating App Alternatives
- Hinge — free tier is excellent, designed for relationships
- Bumble — free, women message first
- Coffee Meets Bagel — free curated matches daily
- Tinder Free — limited likes reset every 12 hours
💡 Tip: If you've stopped actively swiping, check Apple/Google subscriptions NOW. Tinder's business model relies heavily on people forgetting to cancel. Don't be that person.
