Is an OKCupid paid subscription worth it?<\/b> Yes.<\/p>\n

The OKCupid Free Plan already offers more value than many competitors’ free packages just by serving as more than a gussied-up free trial. The Basic subscription enhances that value without breaking the bank: whichever subscription length you pick, you’ll be paying less than $10\/month for two of the most essential improvements: removal of ads and advanced search.<\/p>\n

The Premium subscription enters more familiar price ranges for the industry. Arrayed among competing services’ fees, though, OKCupid still sits comfortably in the mid-range — not the cheapest, but far from being the most expensive, either. When you consider that with the perks that you get, it’s a good deal all around. Some services charge separately for visibility boosts, for example, while others reserve these boosts for subscription packages that could be $10-20 more expensive.<\/p>\n

OKCupid’s paid subscriptions continue the precedent set by its free plan, offering valuable features for less than you’d typically have to pay. Pair all that with OKCupid’s large user base and the features we review below, and you’ve got a winning dating service on your hands.<\/p>\n

<\/a>How Do You Find Matches at OKCupid?<\/h2>\n

All of OKCupid is designed to give you matches. This isn’t an exaggeration, either: almost every feature you encounter comes with corresponding match suggestions.<\/p>\n

\"OKCupid<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Random public questions that you can answer from your homepage? OKCupid suggests matches based on your answers.<\/p>\n

Indicated your interest in TV shows like Game of Thrones in your profile? OKCupid lists potential matches with similar interests on your homepage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are three main engines for finding matches on OKCupid:<\/p>\n

Compatibility Matching<\/h3>\n

You answer an initial questionnaire when you sign up, and OKCupid uses your responses to calculate your compatibility with other users. You’ll see compatibility percentages (from 0% to 100%), with OKCupid sending daily recommendations of people who fall in the 80-90+ percentage range.<\/p>\n

\"OKCupid<\/p>\n

DoubleTake<\/h3>\n

This functions more like a typical dating app, giving you quick glimpses of potential matches’ profiles, photos, and your compatibility ratings. You can “Like” or “Pass,” and any users you’ve liked get added to your “Liked” list of potential matches.<\/p>\n

\"OKCupid<\/p>\n

Manual Search<\/h3>\n

You can search for more matches whenever you want. OKCupid gives you basic filters like sexual orientation, age, location, lifestyle habits (e.g., smoking or drinking), and more. If you’ve got a paid subscription, you can use more advanced filters like various personality traits (e.g., adventurous, compassionate, outgoing, etc.) or users’ answers to specific questions (e.g., how spicy they like their food).<\/p>\n

\"OKCupid<\/p>\n

OKCupid’s compatibility ratings are a great, quick way to get an approximation of how well you and each match will get along. The search filters also provide more flexibility than you’d typically find from online dating services: you’re free to zero in on particular traits or habits that matter to you, especially if you’ve got a paid subscription.<\/p>\n

\"OKCupid<\/p>\n

That flexibility gets echoed in the sheer variety of methods you can use to find a match. Any of the three main methods listed above — Compatibility Matching, DoubleTake, or manual search — yield sizable lists of potential matches. But even if you aren’t as proactive, OKCupid stuffs your homepage with suggestions based on everything from your listed interests and attributes to your latest answers to public questions. You won’t get into zero-match situations here.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Can You Build a Great Profile at OKCupid?<\/h2>\n

OKCupid has a quick, stylish onboarding process that has you answering the usual questions about personality, relationship expectations, ideal partner traits, and more. You also get lots of space to elaborate more about yourself, your beliefs, and your lifestyle, thanks to a freeform profile page and a deep pool of questions that you can choose to answer. Those questions range from things as simple as your favorite food to issues as complex as what your political leanings are.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
