Match: Cost Analysis

What will it cost to find a good match for yourself? Check out Match's costs in Singapore.

Match offers two membership plans—Standard and Premium. You can avail of both plans in 3, 6, or 12 months, so decide what’s best for you. Standard subscribers get basic paid features such as being able to know who viewed your profile and send messages. Premium subscribers, meanwhile, get all those basic features and more. 

Some of the functions that fall under the “more” are anonymous browsing and MatchPhone, an anonymous voice calling service exclusively for Match members.

Apart from these subscriptions, Match also offers two stand-alone features: Match Me and Boost. Match Me is what happens when you have your eye on a specific member, and you want to play it subtle. With this feature, you’re at the top of the member’s Match suggestion list. 

Boost, meanwhile, puts your profile as the top suggestion on Matches and Discover for one hour. Sixty minutes of top spots will no doubt entice members to check you out.

Match indeed started as a desktop site, but in keeping with the times, it also included a free-to-download mobile app. 

You can do pretty much every functionality on mobile, but the catch is the price. The cost is triple that of the desktop version. So, pro-tip: purchase a package or add-on via its desktop counterpart and enjoy Match even while on-the-go with its mobile app.

Dating platforms already saturate the market, but why does Match, a pioneering dating website, still manages to go head-to-head with the newer ones?

Although it's a premium dating site, users of Match are more than willing to shell out money to purchase premium offers. This affinity to go premium may be the reason why most of the interactions within the dating site are real. After all, why spend money when you aren't sure of your intentions, right? So, should you sign up at Match?

Going back, we did mention that the saturated market with a variety of dating sites and apps. Each comes with their strength, gimmicks, and pros, so why should you choose and pay for Match?

True, there’s a lot of sites and apps nowadays. But the million-dollar question is, did these apps last long? Twenty plus years as a dating platform is no joke considering the new competition and features, but Match did it.

There’s something about the dating site. It may be simple in terms of functions and designs, but somehow, Match leveraged on what it does best—matching people long-term.

Take a look at today’s mainstream dating sites, and you’re bound to find a commonality: you swipe. Your decision to skip or like mostly lies in the picture and minimal details you are scrutinising.

Although that’s not a bad thing, Match decided to stick to the basics. You can act once you saw and read the entirety of a person’s profile. And isn’t that what we do in real life? We’re multi-faceted people; we look at all angles first and see if there’s a spark.

It was free in the early days of its operation—now, however, Match doesn’t have a free trial. The dating site offers functionalities that will require you to upgrade.

But let’s talk freebies. What are the features you can access without shelling out money?

It’s not too shabby even with a free account. For starters, you can sign up at Match and also go as far as customising your profile. 

You don’t have to worry about unexpected charges once you register; you’re free to take a look around and get a feel of the dating site for as long as it takes. Match will only bill you when you do decide to purchase a subscription.

Your profile’s not the only one you can see at Match—you can even browse and view a member’s profile. That’s right; the dating site allows you to use its search function, so you get to see potential matches. You can check them out as well: read their profiles in full and view all the photos they uploaded.

Your free account can even introduce you to a match! A Match, you receive SingledOut matches plus participate in the matchmaking game. 

Getting started at Match isn’t as complicated as you think. For one, it’s free. You have all the time to see if the famed dating site will most likely match you with a significant other. But then again, you can’t just look. At one point, you’ll have to take the attraction to the next step and send a message. 

But interaction is something you can’t do with paying money. To make the most out of Match, you'll have to talk consider upgrading. 

Nobody said finding love is easy, which is why the idea of dating online is a hit. Imagine all the possibilities and chances at the tip of your fingertips—if only you give online dating a chance. And while you’re at it, why don’t you try Match, a pioneering dating site with over 20 years of experience and success stories?
