Hinge Dating App: Match & Date

Hinge Review: It Rewards Replying, but Charges to See All Your Likes at Once

What Free Accounts Get: One Rose and One Undo a Week

Without paying you can build a profile, like a specific photo or prompt, match and message. Free accounts get a daily like quota the help center does not number, and see incoming likes one at a time rather than as a full list. You get one free Rose a week, which does not roll over, and one Undo Skip every seven days, shared across Discover, Standouts and Likes You. Standouts, a daily feed of profiles drawing the most attention, accepts only Roses. Advanced preferences such as height, children, family plans, politics and drinking are subscriber-only. Most Compatible suggests one profile a day, expiring after 24 hours.

Your Turn Limits and the Signals Badge: Rules That Reward Replies

Under Your Turn Limits, a progress bar appears above Matches as people waiting on your reply pile up; past the threshold you can neither send nor accept likes until you answer or end some chats. Paying does not exempt you, and matches are not told you hit the cap. Signals extends the idea with a profile badge that needs Selfie Verification, a complete profile and three of five habits, such as commenting on likes and confirming dates, measured over 30 days and never shown in your first week. It cannot be bought, though subscribers can prioritise badge holders in Discover. Match Group says Signals raised selfie verification among existing users by 15% in tests.

Hinge+, HingeX and a $33.11 Monthly Average per Payer

Both subscriptions remove the like quota, show every incoming like at once, add unlimited Undo Skips and unlock advanced preferences. HingeX adds Priority Likes, which stay near the top of the recipient's list for seven days, a light always-on Boost and recommendations ranked by your recent likes and skips. Plans run from one week to six months. The US App Store lists subscription purchases from $14.99 to $34.99 without naming plan lengths, three Roses at $9.99, twelve at $29.99 and Boosts at $9.99 or $19.99; a Boost lasts one hour, a Superboost 24. Match Group reported average revenue per paying user of $33.11 a month in Q2 2026, against $17.90 at Tinder. Roses and Boosts are non-refundable, and prices vary by region and can change.

Face Check, Convo Starters and What Stays on File

Selfie Verification compares a short video selfie with your photos and adds a badge. In regions where Face Check has been rolled out, the scan is mandatory, failing it locks Discover and likes even after a purchase, and face geometry data is kept for the life of the account, then deleted within 30 days of closing it. Convo Starters, AI tips under photos and prompts, send your public profile content and pronouns to OpenAI, which cannot train on them and deletes them within 30 days; you can opt out in settings. Google Play's Data safety form lists optional ethnicity, religious or political beliefs and sexual orientation, and says device IDs are shared for advertising. Closed accounts' data is kept three months for safety checks, or two years after a ban.
