Match.com plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $35.99/month | 3 | Entry tier |
| Premium | $44.99/month | 3 | +$9/month, 3 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Match.com in for finding long-term relationship matches with detailed search criteria, attending online and in-person singles events, getting profile and first-date coaching from match dating experts. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Match.com are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Dating
Too few dating tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Match.com (this page) | $35.99/month | subscription | - | |
| Lunchclub | Free | freemium | - | vs Match.com |
| Muzz | Free, then $14.99/month | - | - | vs Match.com |
| Geneva | Free | free | - | vs Match.com |
| Free | freemium | - | vs Match.com | |
| Happn | Free, then $29.99/month | - | - | vs Match.com |

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Match.com badges page.
Before you pay for Match.com
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $35.99/month and $44.99/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Match.com against the tools that do have one before committing.
Match.com runs on ios, android, web, and is published by Match Group of Dallas, TX, USA. The full record is on the Match.com review, and the rest of the category is under best dating tools.
