What is the average cost to join a senior dating website and what am I paying for?

The cost to join a senior dating site will vary depending on what types of services the site offers.

The average cost to join a senior dating site is usually between about $12 to $17 a month when you sign up for a six month membership. Although you can find some memberships for as low as $9.99. If you pay for a month at a time membership you can expect to pay between about $20 to $30 a month. 

Some over 50 dating sites which offer special services may run as much as $50 a month. In some cases the higher prices are not justified; but in most cases the higher the price, the more personal attention you receive. The more expensive sites will usually find your matches for you, which saves you the often time consuming task of searching through profiles. The cheaper the site, usually the more work you have to do on your own to find potential matches.

Most sites offer a free profile that allows you to browse other member’s profiles but doesn’t let you contact them. This is a great way for Baby Boomers to try out a site before they pay for it. Do a search for potential dating partners and see what kind of results you get. If you like what you see then you can join the site and receive all the benefits that come with being a member. Upgrading to a paid membership will entitle you to contact other members and give you access to all the site’s messaging systems. Which usually include emailing, instant messaging, and in some cases video chat.  So when joining a senior dating website it is a good idea to check several sites before deciding which one to pay for.
