Comparing dating app prices in the Philippines? On the public Philippine iPhone listings checked on 14 November 2026, Bumble Premium has a ₱269 one-month entry. Tinder and OkCupid list peso amounts too, but their purchase names do not specify the duration. That missing detail matters: a smaller number cannot establish a cheaper monthly subscription.
The comparison below shows what the listings actually say, which details require an in-app check, and how to avoid letting repeat weekly purchases consume your date budget. Start free and consider paying only for a feature you can name and use.
What can you use before buying a subscription?
Free download and free communication are different. Check the messaging rule before comparing paid upgrades.
| Service | Documented text-messaging access |

| Tinder | Free ordinary chat after mutual interest. |
| FilipinoAvo | The FAQ describes free sending and receiving of text messages; Gold extras are optional. |
| PinaLove | The homepage describes free messages without a match; upgrading is optional. |
Official messaging information checked 14 November 2026. Tinder’s guide was updated 22 October 2026; the Avo FAQ and PinaLove homepage do not give a separate publication date for these claims.
Philippine peso prices and the periods they cover
These are selected purchases on Apple’s Philippines storefront, not a full catalogue or a quote for your account. Each linked listing has an “In-App Purchases” section. All three competitors are listed as free to download with optional purchases. Google Play and direct purchase prices have not been verified here.
| App and paid option | Listed amount | Period identified in the purchase name? |
|---|---|---|
| Tinder Plus | ₱70 or ₱155 | No; check checkout |
| Tinder Gold, same listing | ₱119, ₱239, ₱399 or ₱419 | No; these are separate listed entries |
| Bumble Boost | ₱79 | Seven days |
| Bumble Premium, same listing | ₱149 or ₱199 | Seven days; multiple listed entries |
| Bumble Premium, same listing | ₱269 | One month |
| Bumble Premium Plus, same listing | ₱199 | Seven days |
| OkCupid Basic | ₱309 | No; check checkout |
| OkCupid Premium, same listing | Examples: ₱389, ₱629 or ₱1,250 | No; check checkout |
| AvoPhilippines Gold | ₱999 | One month |
| FilipinoAvo standard messaging | Free text messaging | Optional Gold is separate |
We have left unidentified periods unidentified. The repeated product names may represent different offers; the public list does not explain which one will appear for you. It would be misleading to rank all these paid apps by monthly cost from these entries alone.
Match the upgrade to a practical need
There is little value in buying a cheaper tier that lacks the function you want. First try writing a clear profile and introduction, then identify a limitation that a paid feature could actually remove.
Tinder: its subscription guide lists unlimited Likes under Plus, seeing who likes you under Gold, and prioritized Likes under Platinum. Read your offer’s exact benefits.
Bumble: its paid-plan guide includes Advanced Filters, Incognito and Travel Mode in Premium. Check your needed feature before choosing the cheaper Boost tier.
OkCupid: Basic and Premium are separate purchase names. Review the current features and billing duration in your own account before deciding between them. A public peso amount without a term cannot settle the monthly value question.
FilipinoAvo: our FAQ describes free standard text messaging and optional Gold. The linked App Store app is named AvoPhilippines; its Gold purchase supplies the amount in the table. Check the current offer if you are considering paying.
The Avo Dating Team operates FilipinoAvo and publishes this article. We have not compared local user numbers, match rates or success rates. These prices cannot establish which app will lead to a relationship or which has more suitable people near you.
Count repeat charges, not just the first payment
For explicitly labeled one-month entries, the listed charges are ₱269 for Bumble Premium and ₱999 for AvoPhilippines Gold. Their feature sets differ, so this establishes listed prices without treating the subscriptions as equivalent or promising better results.
Consider a reader who wants to try a paid app for roughly a month. Using one listed Bumble entry, four seven-day purchases at ₱149 total ₱596 for 28 days. The public list also includes the ₱269 one-month Premium entry. This calculation illustrates why duration matters; it does not guarantee either offer for your account or an unchanged renewal price. Twenty-eight days and a calendar month are different lengths.
If a longer subscription displays a monthly equivalent, read the total due today. A hypothetical ₱900 three-month plan costs an average of ₱300 per month but may require ₱900 upfront. Those figures are a budgeting example, not another app’s advertised price.
Set an amount you can spend without borrowing or using money intended for essentials. In Metro Manila, a subscription does not cover transport to a meeting place; in Cebu or Davao, the same budgeting principle applies. Leave room for the outing itself. Our low-cost date ideas offer ways to plan time together, while the guide to different spending habits can help you discuss a comfortable budget.
Verify the offer shown to you
Bumble’s pricing guidance says the tier, duration and package size affect costs, and directs readers to current in-app offers. A friend’s price or an older social post is not a substitute for your own checkout.
- Confirm the Philippine store region and PHP currency, especially if you have used an overseas account.
- Note the exact tier, duration, amount due now and amount due on renewal.
- Separate recurring access from one-off visibility purchases. Add any extras to the total you are comparing.
- Compare the same tier and duration across payment channels; do not turn a US-dollar article into a claimed Philippine price using an exchange-rate calculation.
- Keep the receipt and set a renewal reminder if you intend to stop after the first period.
Avoid paying someone you matched with for an alleged cheaper upgrade. Keep purchases within the provider’s own payment flow and do not share login or payment details.
Cancel with the provider that collects payment
For an Apple-billed plan, Apple’s cancellation instructions take iPhone users through Settings, their name and Subscriptions to select the purchase and cancel. Check the final status and expiry date.
Tinder’s cancellation guide has different paths for Apple, Google Play and direct billing. Uninstalling Tinder does not cancel the subscription. Your receipt identifies the payment route; use the matching instructions. Check another app’s own cancellation process before deleting it.
