Hinge tests cheaper subscription tier aimed at women users
Match Group said Monday it is testing a lower-cost membership option on Hinge targeted at women. The move comes even as Hinge's paying subscriber base has been growing, and amid broader complaints about the rising cost of online dating apps.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Offering a cheaper tier could be Match Group's way of addressing criticism that dating apps have become too expensive, which may help retain or grow users who felt priced out. It also suggests the company sees gender-specific pricing as a lever to boost engagement, though it's unclear whether this approach will expand beyond Hinge or become permanent.
