Tinder Plus vs Gold vs Platinum: What Each Tier Costs in 2026
The short answer
Tinder Plus gets rid of the limits, Gold shows you who already liked you, and Platinum pushes your likes to the front of the queue.
For most people, Gold is the one worth paying for, because seeing your likes saves hours of swiping. On the US App Store, Tinder Plus starts at $9.99 and Tinder Gold runs from $13.99 to $24.99, depending on the plan.
Each tier includes everything in the one below it:
| Feature | Free | Plus | Gold | Platinum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swipe, match and chat | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Unlimited Likes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Unlimited Rewinds (undo a swipe) | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Passport (swipe in any city) | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| No ads | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Incognito mode | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| See Who Likes You | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Weekly Super Likes | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| 1 monthly Boost (eligible plans only) | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Prioritized Likes | No | No | No | Yes |
The features come from Tinder's own subscription-tiers page. Tinder doesn't print prices on that page, because what you pay depends on where you live and how long you sign up for.
What Tinder costs in 2026?
Tinder doesn't publish a single price list, so the most reliable figures are the ones Apple shows on Tinder's US App Store page. Here's what it listed on 2 November 2026:
| Purchase | US App Store price |
|---|---|
| Tinder Plus | $9.99 |
| Tinder Gold | $13.99, $14.99, $18.99 or $24.99 (four plan options) |
| 1 Boost | $3.99, $6.99 or $7.99 |
| 5 Super Likes | $4.99 |
| 3 Super Likes | $9.99 |
Two things to know about that list. Apple only shows the ten most popular purchases and doesn't label how long each plan lasts, so the four Gold prices are different plan lengths or offers, not four different products.
And Tinder Platinum isn't in the top ten at all, so you'll only see its price inside the app. Expect it to cost more than Gold, since it includes everything Gold does.
Why your price might be different
Tinder sets prices by country, by plan length and by offer, and reports over the years have found prices that also shift with the user's age.
The price the app shows you on the checkout screen is the one that counts. Two quick rules hold everywhere:
Tinder Select: the invite-only tier
Above Platinum sits Tinder Select, an invite-only membership for a tiny group of very active users. It launched in 2023 at a widely reported $499 a month.
You can't buy it; Tinder invites you. For almost everyone, it's not part of the decision.
Boosts and Super Likes
You can also buy extras one at a time, with or without a subscription:
If you're buying more than one or two Boosts a month, Gold usually works out cheaper than paying for them one at a time.
Plus vs Gold vs Platinum: which one is worth it?
Pick the tier that fixes your actual problem, not the one with the longest feature list.
| If this is you | Buy | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You keep running out of likes, or you're moving or travelling | Plus | Unlimited likes and Passport are the whole point of Plus |
| You get likes but few matches, or you hate swiping blind | Gold | See Who Likes You turns Tinder into a shortlist of people already interested |
| You're in a big, busy city and your likes get buried | Platinum | Prioritized Likes puts you ahead of non-Platinum likes in the other person's queue |
| You get plenty of matches already | Nothing | Free Tinder is fine; spend the money on better photos instead |
How to pay less for Tinder
- Try a week before a month. If the checkout offers a short plan, use it to see whether the paid features actually get you more matches.
- Commit longer only once you're sure. Six-month plans are cheaper per month, but you're locked in.
- Fix your profile first. Better photos and a real bio do more than Boosts. Our Tinder bio prompts help with the writing part.
- Time your Boosts. Use them in the evening, when more people tend to be swiping, so each one counts.
- Set a reminder to cancel. Subscriptions renew automatically. If you're only trying it, our guide on Tinder's subscription cancellation settings shows where the button is on iPhone, Android and the web.

The verdict
Tinder Gold is the tier worth paying for. See Who Likes You does more for your match rate than unlimited swiping ever will.
Buy Plus only if you're running out of likes or want Passport for a trip, and save Platinum for big cities where your likes might get buried.
Whatever you pick, start with the shortest plan, judge it on actual matches, and set a reminder before it renews.
