JDate cost in the App Store
JDate says it doesn’t publish fixed prices: rates vary by plan length and promotion, and the amount at checkout is what counts (JDate). The US App Store does list them (checked November 1, 2026):
| Premium plan | Price in the US App Store | Per month, roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month | $49.99 or $59.99 | $50 to $60 |
| 3 months | $104.99 or $134.99 | $35 to $45 |
| 6 months | $149.99 or $179.99 | $25 to $30 |
| 12 months | $179.99 | $15 |
Each term is charged as one payment, with no monthly installments. A coupon or promotional price covers the first term only, and renewals are at the standard rate.
What JDate Premium adds
- Unlimited Likes, instead of 10 a day.
- Up to 10 Recommended Picks a day, instead of three.
- See Who Liked You, with full profiles.
- 20 Intro Messages per 7 days, instead of three.
- Premium Match Preferences for kosher, height, family plans, smoking and drinking.
- Read receipts.
Is JDate Premium worth it?
Not at first. Basic already lets you message matches, so what you’re paying for is reach. Premium makes sense if you’re using all your Likes each day and matches are coming, or if keeping kosher is a firm requirement for you. Compare the pool first: if JDate shows you few people nearby, Hinge costs nothing to try.
If you do pay, the 12-month plan is the cheapest per month in the App Store, but it’s a large amount to pay for a service with a small local pool. Try one to three months first.
Paying, renewal and refunds
You can pay by PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover, or through the App Store or Google Play. Premium renews automatically. All JDate purchases are final and non-refundable, including renewals, and cancelling doesn’t refund or shorten your current term. So turn off renewal before the next billing date. Apple and Google handle billing for what you bought through them. Our guide to cancelling JDate has the steps.
