Tinder has introduced an exclusive $499/month subscription offering for certain users. Find out what it includes.
Tinder has introduced a premium subscription level for its dating app users, and it comes with a monthly fee of $499, according to a report from Bloomberg.
This new subscription, called Tinder Select, is reportedly available to a select group of Tinder users, which comprises less than 1% of the app’s most active and engaged users, as stated in the company’s announcement on Friday.
Tinder Select offers “VIP” search, matching, and conversation features that are not currently included in the existing paid plans, although specific details about these features were not disclosed.
Tinder has also revealed that it will be accepting applications for Tinder Select on an ongoing basis. Additionally, the platform offers three other subscription tiers, with prices starting as low as $24.99 per month, as indicated on its website.
Mark Van Ryswyk, Tinder’s Chief Product Officer, explained, “We know that there is a subset of highly engaged and active users who prioritize more effective and efficient ways to find connections, and we engaged in extensive tests and feedback with this audience over the past several months to develop a completely new offering.”
The report also mentions that Match Group Inc., the company that owns Tinder, is familiar with offering expensive subscriptions to certain users. In 2022, Match Group acquired The League, a dating app known for its exclusivity, where users need an invitation to join, and it caters to ambitious singles. The League offers a VIP plan that costs $1,000 per week. Based on the success of this high-priced subscription model with The League, Match Group decided to explore similar offerings for users who are deeply committed to dating on their other apps like Tinder.
The company has further plans for changes in the coming year, particularly aimed at attracting younger Gen-Z users. Match Group’s CEO, Bernard Kim, discussed this during a presentation to investors at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia Technology Conference in San Francisco earlier this month, as reported by Bloomberg.
