About OkCupid Dating: Date Singles

OkCupid is a Match Group dating app that ranks potential partners by a Match %, built from both people's answers to multiple-choice questions, a method it has used since its 2004 launch. Free accounts can Like profiles, send Intros and message mutual matches without paying. The catch: Likes are capped daily, distance is a soft limit unless you pay for Dealbreakers, and seeing everyone who liked you takes Premium.

OkCupid Review: Free Chat With Matches, Paid Dealbreakers for Distance

Free Account Limits: A Daily Like Cap and One Intro at a Time

A free account can Like and Pass in Discover, send an Intro after liking someone and chat for free with anyone who Likes you back. Likes run out daily, with no number published, and the help center lists 10 votes a day in every Stack except Recommended. Incoming Intros are shown one at a time until you pay, free members get one SuperLike a week, and the Conversations mailbox holds 5,000 messages. Gender and orientation work as free hard filters, but age and distance stay soft unless you pay for Dealbreakers. September 2026 Play reviews in English, German and Spanish describe Likes from other countries despite tight distance settings.

Match Questions: About 500 Prompts Behind Every Match %

The Match % weighs what each of you is looking for against how you both answered the same multiple-choice questions, on topics from religion and politics to scary movies. Sign-up asks for 15 answers; the system holds about 500, and the help center suggests 50 to 100. An answered question cannot be deleted, only marked Irrelevant and made private. Tapping the percentage on a profile lines up both people's public answers. The identity menu runs past 60 options, including 22 genders, and a profile set to non-monogamous is shown only to people open to it; joint profiles for couples are not allowed.

Premium, Premium Plus or Incognito: $7.99 to $59.99 on the US App Store

Basic is closed to new buyers, so plans start at Premium, which keeps Basic's unlimited Likes, Dealbreakers and ad-free browsing, then adds the Interested in You list of everyone who liked or viewed your profile, public answers to questions you skipped and three SuperLikes a week. Premium Plus adds Priority Likes, unlimited read receipts, 15 weekly SuperLikes and one Rush Hour Boost a month. Incognito, a separate plan, hides you from anyone you have not liked or messaged but includes no Premium features. The US App Store lists six Premium prices from $7.99 to $59.99 and Boosts from $0.99 to $8.99; three- and six-month plans are billed upfront. Promotional rates vary by region, past purchases and account activity, so prices can change.

Face Check, Silent Blocking and What Stays After You Delete

Discover needs device location access, which the help center suggests setting to While Using the App, and nobody can search OkCupid for your name or profile. Blocking works both ways and is silent: the other person is not told, and you vanish from their view, shared conversations included. Disabling the account instead of deleting it hides the profile and pauses card or PayPal billing until you return. Apple's privacy label says purchases, identifiers and usage data may be used to track you across other companies' apps. Face Check, the video selfie behind verification and age checks, yields a FaceMap and FaceVector kept for the life of the account and deleted within 30 days of closing it; where the scan is required, only account deletion removes them.

Pros

  • Messaging a mutual match is free, with no subscription required
  • Match % draws on about 500 questions, with public answers compared side by side
  • One free SuperLike a week lets you send a note before matching
  • Incognito hides your profile from anyone you have not liked or messaged
  • Profiles are visible only to logged-in members and never in Google search
  • Gay and bisexual members can block visibility to and from straight users

Cons

  • Daily Like cap, soft distance limits and Dealbreakers locked behind Premium
  • Free accounts open incoming Intros one at a time; the full Likes list needs Premium
  • Face Check keeps a FaceMap and FaceVector until you close the account
  • Late-September 2026 Play reviews report login failures and verification errors

Verdict

OkCupid earns 6.5 because the free tier still covers Likes, Intros and unlimited chat with mutual matches, and the Match % rests on about 500 questions, while a daily Like cap, soft distance limits and a paywalled Interested in You list pull the score down. Take it if you want to filter on values, relationship style or identity. Skip it if you need strictly local matches without paying, or if face data kept for an account's lifetime is unacceptable.

Core function7.5Free Likes, Intros and unlimited chat with matches plus a question-based Match %, but a daily Like cap and soft distance limits.
Ease of use6.5Free members see Intros one at a time, and canceling depends on whether you paid Apple, Google or the website.
Monetisation5.5Premium, Premium Plus, a separate Incognito plan, Boosts, read receipt packs and Stack passes; US Premium prices span $7.99–$59.99.
Performance6.025 iOS releases between March and August 2026, yet late-September Play reviews describe login and verification failures.
Privacy & permissions6.0Apple's label lists tracking identifiers and Face Check data lasts the account's lifetime, but blocking is silent and two-way.

Frequently asked questions

1

Is OkCupid free to use?

Yes. A free account can Like profiles, send Intros and message anyone who Likes you back at no charge. The limits are a daily Like allowance, one SuperLike a week, incoming Intros shown one at a time and a 5,000-message mailbox. Seeing everyone who liked you first requires Premium.

2

How does the OkCupid match percentage work?

Match % combines what each of you is looking for with how you both answered the same multiple-choice questions. Sign-up asks for 15 answers out of about 500, and the help center suggests answering 50 to 100. Answers can be private, and an answered question can be marked Irrelevant but not deleted.

3

How much does OkCupid Premium cost?

The US App Store lists six OkCupid Premium prices, from $7.99 to $59.99. Plans run one, three or six months, and the longer ones are charged in a single payment. Premium Plus and Incognito are separate subscriptions. Promotional rates vary by region, past purchases and account activity, so prices can change.

4

Does deleting OkCupid cancel my subscription?

Only if you paid OkCupid directly by card or PayPal; deleting the account then cancels the subscription. Apple and Google Play keep billing until you cancel there, and canceling does not refund unused time. After closure, Face Check templates are erased within 30 days, and other data is held for a three-month safety window.

5

What are the best alternatives to OkCupid?

Tinder, Hinge and Bumble are the usual comparisons. Tinder and Hinge belong to Match Group, and the Expanded Discovery & Interaction setting can show your profile on other Match Group apps until you turn it off. Tinder reserves its Likes page for Gold and Platinum, while Hinge gives one free Rose a week. Bumble sits outside Match Group.
