Pricing

Spark.com offers a relatively useful free membership. You’ll be able to create a profile and upload photos, view other users’ profiles and uploads, and use a limited number of the site’s communication tools. If you’d like to unlock more direct and convenient messaging capabilities, though, you’ll have to pay for a subscription.

Spark.com offers two types of subscriptions. There’s Standard, which unlocks important communication tools like email conversations, instant messaging, chat room and message board access, and personalized e-cards. On top of all that, you can pay an extra fee to get two Premium Services:

  • Member Spotlight boosts your profile’s visibility for all users who fit your specified values for age, gender, and location.
  • Profile Highlight adds some visual elements to help your profile stand out for other users browsing the site.

Standard membership comes in several billing cycles, with your monthly costs decreasing as your contract length increases:

  • $24.99 for a month
  • $14.99 a month for 3 months
  • $11.99 a month for 6 months

Premium Services, meanwhile, include all the standard membership features and the two premium functions above. They come at the following rates:

  • $29.99 for a month
  • $17.33 a month for 3 months
  • $12.99 a month for 6 months

Spark.com takes payments through credit cards, mailed checks, or money orders.
