Tinder, created in 2012, is a dating app that allows you to find other people to form relationships.

Subscription service[edit | edit source]

While Tinder offers its base service for free, several subscription tiers are available to gain benefits and advantages on the platform.

Subscription Tiers[edit | edit source]

Tinder has three paid subscription plans that give users various benefits depending on their chosen plan. Each tier includes the benefits from the lower tiers:^[1]

Free: Users get a limited amount of likes they can give per day, and can chat with matches.
Plus: Users get unlimited likes and "rewinds", as well as no advertisements and extra features.

Gold: Users get extra features, including seeing who has liked them, "boosts" and "super likes".

Platinum: Users are able to message others before matching, get "prioritized likes", and are able to see a week-long history of likes.

Pricing[edit | edit source]

The price of Tinder subscriptions differ based on location and currency. When paying monthly, the cost ranges from $24.99/mo to $49.99/mo in the United States, and $26.99/mo to $53.99/mo in Canada.^[2]

In Europe, Tinder has faced scrutiny over the use of personalized pricing. A 2022 study in Sweden concluded that Tinder applied 36 different pricing levels, ranging from the equivalent of $3/mo to $36/mo. This reportedly included pricing differences based on the age of the user.^[3]

Cancellation[edit | edit source]

A Tinder subscription can be cancelled, and is done either from within the app, website, Google Play Store, or Apple App Store, depending on which platform and payment method was used. Regardless, in all cases the subscription is click-to-cancel. However, a subscription does not get cancelled automatically when deleting the user's account.^[4]

-But once you decide that you want to terminate your reoccurring subscription, you are expected to go through many hoops and tricks in order to finally get unsubscribed.
-== Subscription Costs ==
+==Subscription service==
-Tinder uses a deceptive method in order to display its reoccurring subscription costs. To try to obscure their true costs, they list the costs as weekly versus the true monthly costs charged to your card.
+While Tinder offers its base service for free, several subscription tiers are available to gain benefits and advantages on the platform.
-== Subscription Plans ==
+===Subscription Tiers===
-Plans are created using a nonsensical approach. Let's explain this a little bit. If you are looking to meet somebody online, and later in the real world, you would need to know who they are and be able to contact them.
+Tinder has three paid subscription plans that give users various benefits depending on their chosen plan. Each tier includes the benefits from the lower tiers:<ref>https://www.help.tinder.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004487406-Tinder-subscriptions</ref>

+*'''Gold:''' Users get extra features, including seeing who has liked them, "boosts" and "super likes".
-You can't see who likes you nor contact them unless they '''match you also!''' This is already included in their free plan already.
+*'''Platinum:''' Users are able to message others before matching, get "prioritized likes", and are able to see a week-long history of likes.

+A Tinder subscription can be cancelled, and is done either from within the app, website, Google Play Store, or Apple App Store, depending on which platform and payment method was used.

-Finally, you can send a message to somebody before first matching with them (The only plan that actually allows you to do what you would expect to do on a dating site if you paid)

-== Cancelling a Subscription ==
+[[Category:Tinder]]
-They make it very inconvenient and difficult to understand how to cancel. First, the information for this is not located on the bottom of their page.
-Point number one is canceling your account on the Tinder service will not cancel your subscription!
-''If you used Apple Pay'', they require you to go back to Apple and use "Report a problem" in order to cancel your service.
-''If you used Google Play'', then they're going to require you to go back to Google Play. In their own documentation, they say that this means you have to request assistance from Google Play. Assuming this means that there is no direct buttons to push to facilitate this action.
-''If you paid directly using a credit card,'' they don't actually tell you how to cancel it, so you may have to do a charge back. They warn that if the charge back is unsuccessful that they will keep all your funds. Additionally, They say it is at their discretion that they may delete your account, and/or possibly continue charging your card Until you cancel it with your "External Service Account"
