19 Kas Is Tinder Platinum worth it? I tried it for 3 months to find out
Say you're in bed swiping on Tinder, as one does, and then you see a pop-up: Upgrade to Tinder Platinum, it says. Message Before Matching! Priority Likes!
Longtime users are likely aware of these in-app Tinder ads, as several features - such as "rewinding" your last swipe - are only available if you pay up.
The dating app rolled out Tinder Platinum in 2020, and at $ per month it's the most expensive subscription level they offer. Some tools, like being able to message someone before you match, were never available prior.
But is Tinder Platinum (opens in a new tab) worth it? The app gave me a three-month trial run to find out. Platinum's varied features, elimination of ads, and exclusive perks (like seeing who I already liked) changed how I used the app - but didn't change much when it came to finding matches.
