What it costs

Prices checked October 31, 2026, from OkCupid’s own pricing page unless noted. Prices change often, so check the official page before you buy.

• Free to use. OkCupid Premium is sold in 1-, 3- and 6-month packages; reports put it at about $44.99 for one month, $29.99 a month for 3 months and $24.99 a month for 6 months. OkCupid Basic is no longer sold to new members (checked October 30, 2026).
• Subscriptions renew automatically. Match Group terms apply: App Store refunds go through Apple; other requests go to OkCupid.

What we like

• Free messaging once you match.
• Match percentages from questions.
• Many gender and orientation options.
• The App Store showed 4.32 out of 5 from 289,553 ratings as of October 30, 2026.

What to watch for

• Trustpilot shows 1.2 from 889 reviews.
• Ads and paywalls on the free tier.
• Auto-renews.
• Lots of inactive or low-effort profiles, per reviewers.

The fine print

• You must be 18 or older to join.
• Turn off auto-renewal in your app-store or account settings.
• Never send money, gift cards or crypto to anyone you meet online.

Pick OkCupid if you…

• want match percentages.
• want inclusive options.
• like answering questions.

Pick Hinge if you…

• want prompts.
• want fewer, better matches.
• want a cleaner free tier.

Our take

OkCupid is a good free way to meet people who share your values, but Trustpilot reviews are very poor, so keep to the free tier until you know it works in your area.
