We’ve been there: You’re under the covers, scrolling through Tinder past your bedtime. You roll to swipe left and accidentally pass someone you could swipe right on so your thumb breaks.
The only way to undo it – to undo your last swipe – is to pay for Tinder, so why not keep shelling out money to pay for a Tinder Plus subscription? Or Tinder Gold or Tinder Platinum?
Tinder’s dating predictions for 2026
Tinder confirmed to Mashable that the app takes into account a user’s previous account activity, including how long they’ve had their account, previous purchases, and past engagements, when offering subscription offers. Demographics such as age, gender, and sexual orientation are not included, according to Tinder. Exact costs may vary based on international exchange rates. But according to Mashable’s latest ranking of the best affiliate marketing apps, here’s what each subscription will cost you per month:
-
One month of Tinder Plus: $22.48
-
One month of Tinder Gold: $36
-
One month of Tinder Platinum: $45
If, when you receive next month’s bill, you regret this financial decision, you will need to cancel Tinder Gold. Here’s how to do it.
What is Tinder Gold?
Tinder Gold is one of the subscription options for the dating app category. Maybe they call it Gold because it’s the Goldilocks of programs: more benefits (and more expensive) than Tinder Plus, but fewer benefits and a lower price than Tinder Platinum.
With all Tinder subscriptions, you don’t see ads. You have unlimited likes (as opposed to 100 right swipes per day for free users), unlimited refunds, and you can use Passport characteristic of any place.
Tinder Gold, unlike Tinder Plus, includes Top Pickswhich shows you “matches worth swiping the most.” You will get one for free Improve per month, which makes you the top profile in your area for 30 minutes, and free weekly Big Likes, which let the user know that you liked them before they Like you back.
In addition to all those features, Tinder Platinum lets you see the Likes you’ve made; it gives you Priority Preferenceswhich puts you at the top of the game options you may have; and allows send a message if you are very interested.

How to cancel Tinder Gold (or Plus, or Platinum)
How about you cancel Tinder Gold or other registration depending on how you registered. Deleting the app from your phone will not cancel your subscription, and if you purchased it through the Apple or Google Play Store, deleting your Tinder account yourself will not cancel it.
If you purchased Tinder Gold on your iPhone, open your Settings and tap your name. Then tap Subscriptions, select your Tinder one, and tap Cancel Subscription.
On Android, there are two options. If you made a purchase through the Google Play Store, go there on your Android. Tap the Menu icon and go to Subscriptions. Select your Tinder subscription, then select Cancel Subscription.
If you used the direct credit card option on Android, open Tinder on your device. Go to your profile, tap Manage Payment Account, then Cancel Subscription.
Finally, if you bought Tinder Gold through the Tinder browser app, go to the site. Tap the profile icon, go to Manage account, and click Cancel or disable auto-renew. Deleting your Tinder account from the browser site also automatically cancels your subscription if you purchased it there.
Still having trouble? Tinder has a separate article for assistance in canceling subscriptionsbut basically the same guidelines. If you need individual help, take a screenshot of what you see as well contact Tinder directly.
