Arts+Culture / NewsWould you pay for Tinder?The dating app wants love-hungry users to cough up for a premium serviceShareLink copied ✔️October 21, 2014Arts+CultureNewsText Thomas Gorton Tinder will launch a premium service in November which asks users to pay for the privilege of swiping right. CEO and co-founder Sean Rad announced the news at the Forbes Under 30 Summit, saying that the new paid-for service will widen the horizons of love. (And presumably, the number of guys posing with tigers in their profile pics.) The dating app racks up to 15 million matches a day and currently only allows you to hook up with people in your city, though that may be set to change. "Next month we're going to release a few premium features that we're totally excited about," said Rad. "It's two things that our users have been asking for for a very long time and we think that there's a great opportunity for us to introduce these features and because we're confident that we're adding to the user experience, we're going to charge for it." Rad refused to reveal the specifics of the updated premium service, but he made reference to people using Tinder hacks to use the app for non-dating purposes, such as getting travel tips from locals or attracting new followers to their Instagram account. He also confirmed that the original Tinder app would remain free (for now). As of yet, there's been no confirmation of the price of a swipe. But seriously: would you actually pay for Tinder?
