Match Dating App: Chat & Meet

Match Review: Free Chat With Every Match, Paid Tiers Stacked Four Deep

What Free Members Get: Chat With Every Match, 50 Ratings a Day

Without paying you can build a profile, rate up to 50 profiles a day in the Recommended stack and message anyone who likes you back. Bronze, the first paid tier, unlocks unlimited Likes, unlimited rewinds and unrestricted rating on the Discover tab; Silver adds the list of people who liked you; Platinum adds unlimited introductions, advanced filters, read receipts, a weekly Super Like and a monthly Boost. Diamond, where offered, layers on Priority Likes, weekly automatic Boosts, three weekly Super Likes and Who's Viewed Me. Free accounts can still buy Super Likes in packs of 5, 12 or 30, and Highlights gives free and paid members up to three curated profiles a day.

Expert Picks, Top Picks and Why Filters Seem Not to Hold

Expert Picks is what most separates the app from swipe-first rivals: a human dating expert works from your deal breakers and relationship goals, then sends one profile every three days to your inbox. It is a Platinum add-on, and the help center warns it may not be available in every state or while you travel. Top Picks, the automated feed, follow preferences such as faith, smoking, education and whether someone wants kids, yet deliberately widen your age, height and distance filters. Google Play reviews from 2025 and 2026 repeatedly describe deal breakers and distance limits that do not seem to hold, and Discover cards that register a like or a pass when reviewers only meant to scroll a bio.

Bronze to Diamond: Billed Up Front, Hard to Downgrade

Every package, whether 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, is charged in full at purchase, though checkout shows a monthly or weekly figure; there are no pauses, plans auto-renew, and subscriptions are generally non-refundable. Cancel a Platinum plan and you cannot currently drop to Silver or Bronze. Anyone who subscribed through the iPhone app must buy most one-time features on the website. On the US App Store at the time of checking, a one-month plan was listed at $44.99 and a six-month bundle at $129.99. Private Mode, which shows you only to members you contact, and Undercover, 24 hours of browsing without appearing in Who's Viewed Me, carry non-refundable upfront fees. Check the current price in the app; it varies by region.

Photo Verification, Expanded Discovery and What Gets Shared

Photo Verification asks for a video selfie, runs a Liveness Check and 3D Face Authentication, then deletes the facial geometry template within 24 hours, keeping two screenshots for the life of the account. A separate age check stores a scanned face photo for three months and a hashed copy with an age score for a year. Expanded Discovery & Interaction, where offered, shows your profile on other Match Group apps; switch it off under Settings, Your Privacy Choices, Match Group Data Sharing. Google Play's Data safety form says device IDs are shared for advertising and lists sexual orientation among collected data, Apple's label says identifiers may track you across other companies' apps, and automated Safe Message Filters scan chats.
