Thursday.com does not publish pricing information on its website. The site only references that tickets are available for events but does not specify costs.

Source

SilverSingles uses a personality test based on the Big Five personality model to generate compatibility scores. Once you complete the test, the system sends you 3 to 7 curated daily matches based on your personality profile, stated preferences, and location.

SilverSingles: What payment plans are available?

SilverSingles offers three main membership plans: 1 month at $54.99, 3 months at $34.99/month (billed as $104.97), and 6 months at $19.99/month (billed as $119.94). Premium matchmaking concierge services require a minimum $5,000 investment for three months.

Source
SilverSingles: Is a photo required to join?

While a profile can be created without a photo initially, having a clear photo significantly increases match quality and message responses. Free members cannot view full photos of other users, which prevents meaningful profile browsing without upgrading.

Source
SilverSingles: How does SilverSingles screen for fake profiles?

The platform uses AI facial recognition technology to detect and reject AI-generated profile photos during verification. However, some fake profiles still slip through despite security being a priority, requiring users to report suspicious accounts.

Source
SilverSingles: Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in advance. The cancellation process can be confusing, and users must actively cancel to avoid unexpected charges after their subscription period ends.
