Nowadays, you don’t even need to leave your house to meet new people. You can find a date online without ever having to go outside — but these websites aren’t always free. Some of the most popular sites can cost you a pretty penny each month. Here are the prices for popular dating sites to help you chose which one is right for you.
Match
Like most dating websites Match allows you to join and use certain services for free, but you have to buy a subscription to gain full access to the site. Match has four options for you to choose from: one month, three months, six months, or 12 months. If you decide to pay for Match, you’ll have access to features such as sending and receiving messages, IM messenger, seeing who has viewed your profile, and much more.
The price of the monthly Match subscription is $41.99. If you choose the three-month package, you’ll pay $26.99 per month — but the most savings come from purchasing a six or 12-month subscription. The six-month subscription is $23.99, and the 12-month is $20.99 monthly. Match also offers a free trial so you can try out the site before you buy.
PlentyofFish
PlentyofFish is another popular dating website that allows you free access, but an option to upgrade to a monthly subscription for certain benefits. The advantages of an upgraded membership are the option to upload 16 images, see if your emails were received or deleted, an ad-free experience, and more.
The website offers three payment options—three, six, and 12 months. If you choose to subscribe for three months you’ll pay $12.90 per month, the six-month plan costs $8.50, and the 12-month plan is $6.78.
Zoosk
Zoosk also allows you to create a free account, but you’ll have limited access to the website. If you want full access, you’ll have to purchase a premium membership. With a subscription, you’ll get features like instant messaging, SmartPick introductions, and access to members that have viewed your profile.
Zoosk also has three purchasing options available: one month, three months, or six months. At one month, you’ll pay $29.95. For three months, you can pay the total price of $59.85 or pay $19.95 monthly. Finally, if you choose six months, you can pay $14.98 each month or $89.98 for the full subscription period.
In addition to the price of subscription, Zoosk sells coins to send gifts, special emails, and more. These coins can be as much as a six-month subscription depending on how many you wish to purchase. Buying 95 coins costs $9.99, 250 coins is $19.95, and 700 coins charge $49.95. The coins aren’t necessary to use the service, but they are frequently used and another cost you may want to take into account.
OkCupid
Like all of the websites on this list, OkCupid is free with limited use of the site. You can create an account without any cost, but if you want premium features you have to upgrade to what’s referred to as “A-list.” The listed price for OkCupid’s A-List is $9.99 per month, according to Find the Data. With that being said, many users state that the price fluctuates based on your location and age. Like the other websites, you have the option to subscribe for one, three, or six months.
eHarmony
eHarmony is free to register, but if you want to access to premium features, you’ll have to subscribe. The premium subscription service is referred to as “Total Connect,” and you get extra features such as a deeper personality analysis, the ability to send and receive unlimited messages, and the dates your recent matches have logged in.
Unlike the other websites, you have more payment options. You can choose one, six, 12, or 24-month subscription service. The price per month significantly decreases the longer you subscribe. A one-month subscription costs $59.95. Six-month packages are $39.95 monthly. For 12 months, you’ll pay $18.95 each month. Finally, for 24 months, you’ll pay $9.95 per month.
