The short version

  • Only eHarmony has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: eHarmony premium membership pricing not published on website; only generic reference to 'added features' costs; Steam publishing a game requires developers to pay a non-refundable $100 Steam Direct fee per title, recouped only once the product earns $1,000 in adjusted gross revenue
