EME Hive cost on the website
The EME Hive cost depends a lot on where you pay. Its own FAQ lists two subscriptions on the website:
| Plan | Price on the website | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | from $8.99 a month | Read message replies and chat with free members |
| Premium | from $9.99 a month | Everything in Standard, plus read receipts and advanced sort and filters |
“From” prices usually mean the lowest monthly rate on a longer plan, so a single month may cost more. EME Hive also says it can change what’s free or paid during promotions.
EME Hive cost in the App Store
In-app prices are much higher. The US App Store lists Premium at $39.99 for one month, plus longer Premium plans at $78.99 and $109.99 and a one-month subscription at $44.99 (checked October 27, 2026). Diamonds, the virtual gifts used in live streams, cost $4.99 for 220 up to $99.99 for 4,700. Diamonds aren’t needed to date.
Is it worth paying?
Standard is the plan that matters. Free members can already send messages, so what you’re buying is the ability to read replies from people who don’t pay. If you get replies you can’t open, Standard on the website is the cheapest fix. Premium’s read receipts and advanced filters are extras.
Before you subscribe
Cancelling on the website ends your paid features straight away, and EME Hive gives no refund for the rest of the term.
