Our conclusion
👦 We signed up with the profile of a 31 year old male, living in New York. The number of singles proposed by Match is impressive. There are very few if any fake profiles.
💬 We quickly received private messages (thanks to our fully completed profile) and had to take out a standard 3-month subscription to exchange.
👫 Within a few days we made an appointment with a single woman at a Match party in New York.
🥇We had to explain to her that it was a test but the experience was very successful. It’s easy to see why Match is number one in online dating.
FAQ
The standard plan for a duration of 3 months seems to us to be the most interesting. You can take 6 months to give yourself more time.
Yes you can cancel your Match subscription at any time for your account, in the website or from the app. However, please note that if you have paid for 3 months or 6 months, you will be not be refunded for any unused months.
In our opinion, Match’s premium plan is only interesting if your find it difficult to meet people after a few weeks of using the service. For example, you can first subscribe to the standard plan for 3 months and, if it is not conclusive, take a premium plan for the next 3 months.
You can enter a Match promo code on the checkout page.
Match costs between $7.99 and $38.99 per month depending on the type of plan and the lenght of the subscription.
