I did some research, asking friends, friends’ younger siblings and Facebook groups I’m a member of – an unscientific sample of Tinder users. What I hadn’t realised until I started looking into it was that, as well as being linked to the different services on offer, the monthly fee was also linked to age. Tinder has three levels of subscription, Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold and Tinder Platinum, each with different prices.
