Tinder’s New Tier Costs $500/Month
It was a slow-ish news day today, so the talk of the town was Tinder’s new $500-per-month plan. Like other “zero-interest-rate-policy” (ZIRP) darlings, the company’s parent, Match Group, has struggled to keep public market investors happy in a post-pandemic world. 😓
Growth has slowed significantly, so the company is betting big on premium “power users” who will pay $500 monthly for features like exclusive searching and matching. Tinder Select is currently only being offered to less than 1% of users among the app’s most active. But don’t fret; it plans to open up applications on a rolling basis, so you’ll still have a shot if you didn’t make the first cut.
