Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Match.com

  • Without a subscription you can only chat with recommended matches rather than anyone you find
  • Seeing unlimited profiles requires the Premium subscription
  • Advanced search filters are Premium only
  • Reconnecting with profiles you already passed on requires Premium
  • Profile boosts to be seen faster are Premium only
  • The iOS app requires iOS 16.0 or later

Mighty Networks

  • A transaction fee is charged on paid memberships on top of the subscription, at 2% on Launch and 1% on Scale
  • Reaching the lowest 0.5% fee requires Mighty Pro, which is custom priced and gated behind a demo
  • Host and moderator seats are capped by plan, at 3 hosts on Launch at $79 a month and 5 on Scale at $179
  • The subscription is charged regardless of revenue, so a community that earns nothing still pays $79 a month
