No ads, no tiers for visibility, no paywall on who sees you. You pay for time, not attention.
"Everyone on HelloDate — free or paid — is seen equally. The only thing you can buy is your own attention, not anyone else's."
Our commitment
Questions.
- Why charge at all?
- To stay small, stay human, and not sell your data. $29/month from a few hundred members keeps us independent. No VC, no ads, no growth-at-all-costs.
- What happens if I cancel?
- Your profile stays, your letters stay, your quota drops to Free. Nothing is deleted. You can resubscribe anytime.
- Can I pay for one month, look around, and cancel?
- Yes. We'd rather have you here briefly and honestly than trapped. 14-day refund on your first month if you haven't used an invitation.
- What does Member NOT get?
- Nothing that changes who sees your profile or ranks you higher. No "verified" badges other people can't earn for free. No read receipts. No gift icons. Paying doesn't raise your status here.
