Free guest versus Full membership
After approval, you join as a guest. You can browse, like and see events, but reading and sending private messages needs a Full membership. Inner Circle has also let guests earn some features by inviting friends.
Full membership is sold weekly and monthly, with 3- and 6-month deals that bring the monthly price down. Prices vary by country; in the US they sit in the range of a premium mainstream subscription.
Is it worth paying?
- Wait until you are approved and have looked at who is in your city. Membership cannot make a small local pool bigger.
- Choose a monthly or 3-month term first. Weekly plans are the most expensive way to pay.
- Factor in events. If you plan to go to members' events, the membership may be worth more to you than the app alone.
Cancelling
You can cancel in your Inner Circle account, or in the App Store or Google Play if you subscribed there. After cancelling, your paid membership stays valid until the end of the current period. Uninstalling the app does nothing to billing — or to your profile.
As with most dating apps, the first price shown is not always the lowest term available, and introductory discounts usually apply only to the first period. Check the renewal price before paying, and note which store or account you bought through — that is where you will need to cancel.
