Are premium dating app subscriptions worth it?

I paid for 1 week upgraded hinge just to see and yeah it made a diff. Way more likes and I could change all my preferences to only show the type of women I’m interested in

Ventriloquiste · 2024-11-05T12:59:54+00:00

in my opinion, no. I tried coffee meets bagel premium and the only difference was being able to see all the people who liked me.

In terms of quality though, I wouldn't have swiped yes on 95% of them anyway.

hinge though I'm not sure, I heard it's the best app out there now

I paid Bumble premium in 2022 (just because they offered me a really good 3 month promo) and it worked for me. Got tons of matches and visibility. I don't know how if it's still good tbh. I saw it's very expensive.

heres_venom · 2024-11-05T16:09:09+00:00

I met my girlfriend on hinge with premium. I got a lot more matches with premium hinge. I went from 1-2 to 8-12. Being able to select preferences like age and relationship type was great too.

I bought a 1 week subscription.

rienjabura · 2024-11-05T13:36:09+00:00

No.

Allow me to explain why.

When you decide to pay extra for a product in most cases, you get an additional service that enhances the customer experience.

This is not so with dating apps. There are algorithms that are intentionally baked into the app to provide you with a degraded experience(except if you are ridiculously good looking, in which you wouldn't be on an app), then upsold to you as a "premium" subscription.

Do you get to see more people of your sexual preference? Yes. Will you be able to message them? Also yes. Will you get custom filters to waste less time? Yes. Will you get to see your matches? Yes.

But the point to a dating app, is to meet people irl, not spend money to see more profiles, which may or may not be real people, and that brings me to my final point.

None of the services you pay for on dating apps offer a silver bullet solution to the point, which is to actually meet people irl. No matter how much money you spend on an app, the human element is still at play. No amount of money you pay an app will make a person message you back, like you, or go out on a date with you, so don't waste your money, get off the apps, and engage irl.

(Tl;dr: Don't pay for dating app subscriptions, go out and meet people irl)

Mursethings · 2024-11-05T13:00:37+00:00

Not really. Use money or time into making a better profile instead. Buy better clothes, go to more unique places, and take better photos. And be more selective on who you swipe on. If you know she’s completely out of your league or if something in her profile is a deal breaker, don’t swipe on her. Save those swipes for people you actually see yourself with. Also, you don’t need unlimited swipes because you’re busy working on yourself and living your best life.

herbdean00 · 2024-11-05T13:52:52+00:00

Hinge did really well for me. In fact, the amount of matches I was getting was higher than ever before and then guess what? I got banned. And it really made my dating life much worse. So yes Hinge works, But there are thousands of stories across the internet of people who got arbitrarily banned by the fascist company.

Other than that I find everything else pretty weak. Tinder is literally for models. Bumble I almost get no matches. I think it's similar to tinder. I've tried a couple off-brand dating apps, they kind of suck, and then there's Facebook dating which is free and not bad.

SithLordJediMaster · 2024-11-05T14:15:09+00:00

Aren't they like a $100 each.

So if you start using multiple apps you could be spending $500.

That's the amount of spending on a Hooker a month.

Absolutely not worth it.

Cavsfan724 · 2024-11-05T16:23:35+00:00

The only thing that seems to help is boost/spotlights I have gotten matches from buying those. Everything else is a waste of money.

avercros · 2024-11-05T16:54:15+00:00

Nope, that’s a waste of time and money if you’re not attractive

Necessary-Jaguar4775 · 2024-11-05T13:39:52+00:00

I would say yes. Dating apps dont work for most men unless you pay, although it depends on your location. If you live in the West, then most likely youll need a higher subscription to make it work.

bruno-vr · 2024-11-05T14:07:11+00:00

A long time ago I paid for Tinder Platinum (when it wasn’t even close to as expensive as it is right now) for several months and the difference was pretty crazy for me, then I think the app assumed I was “dependent on it” and nerfed it lol. It does not make girls swipe right on you more (duh), it just exposes you to those faster.

It’s kinda embarrassing and my friends laugh when I tell them, but when they find out I got with like 20 girls thanks to it (which costed way less than drinks and a night out) it’s kinda funny.

That said, I would never do it again. I don’t even use Tinder anymore lol. I don’t take dating apps seriously anymore and just use it for fun, socializing in person is the way to go.

cemj86 · 2024-11-05T15:21:23+00:00

YES YES YES

Unlimited swipes Super likes

The only app I'd say never use if you're just hooking up is coffee meets bagel

Tinder BLK Bumble (eh) Facebook dating

I have hundreds of matches backlogged Even without paying it's not bad. The pay wall definitely makes it more productive.

The1WhoDares · 2024-11-05T15:36:36+00:00

Paid for lifetime bumble, never have to pay a single cent again. Definitely worth it IMO

shinn497 · 2024-11-05T16:37:31+00:00

I am curious if anyone has used the really expensive tinder tier

JayDee813 · 2024-11-05T17:51:37+00:00

As someone who met their wife on a dating app, a paid sub isn’t worth it. I’ve paid for dating apps before and the one thing I’ve realized is that some people no matter who they are, are boring. And thats no matter how many people you match up with. My best advice is to put things on there that catch peoples attention and pay attention to what they like and don’t like and do your thing.

Midnight_honeyXOXO · 2024-11-05T18:45:53+00:00

Depends. There are studies that shows that men are usually the losers on those apps no matter if you pay or not

Illustrious_Read_842 · 2024-11-05T18:55:10+00:00

Sufficient_Cause1208 · 2024-11-05T21:24:57+00:00

If your an attractive guy with good pictures, yes

hoangkelvin · 2024-11-05T22:04:01+00:00

It can be.

Big-Falcon-556 · 2024-11-05T22:28:29+00:00

Tinder was worth it for me tbh. Had a date already lined up within 48 hours. Multiple dates with multiple women in 7 days

baby_oil773 · 2024-11-05T23:01:09+00:00

Facebook dating is completely free fyi

kungfuii · 2024-11-06T01:54:46+00:00

My opinion on this is that if you are already getting matches, getting a premium subscription will help enhance that further. It's a quick way to build up lots of matches quickly, rather then a slower trickle with a free subscription

However, if you're getting hardly any matches from the start then no getting a premium subscription wont help work on your profile instead.

Having a good profile is the most important aspect. I find that the only subscription worth getting is the tier that gives priority likes as well, the rest is kind of useless.

Neat-Effective363 · 2024-11-06T19:57:45+00:00

No, the superlikes and compliments are just there to take your money

KoleSekor · 2024-11-05T13:09:29+00:00

The money, time, and energy would be more wisely spent meeting women in person. If you don't know how, you can learn. I happen to teach it if you are interested.

arshrez · 2024-11-05T13:15:16+00:00

Big no

fuckwhoyouknow · 2024-11-05T13:36:51+00:00

yes, especially while travelling and time is limited for quick encounters.

but i also make alot so the cost is negligible, if i did not i would not pay for the apps.
