Is Tinder Gold Worth The Extra Price? Features, Pricing & Review (2023)

In this article, we will answer every question you have ever had about Tinder mid-level subscription, Tinder Gold.

We will show you what extra features you get access to once you purchase a Tinder Gold subscription and review its features, give a humble, non-biased opinion on whether it is worth the money, and everything else you need to know.

What is a Tinder Gold subscription?

Tinder Gold is one of the premium subscriptions that you can purchase if you want to get access to Tinder premium features. It used to be a high-tier subscription until Tinder introduced Tinder Platinum.

When you purchase Tinder Gold, you can access the following features

Tinder Gold Features – What Is Included?

There are two features that you only get when you are a Tinder Gold subscriber:

• Top Picks,
• See Who Likes you before you swipe.

Besides these two, you also get all the features of Tinder’s lower level premium subscription, Tinder Plus:

• Unlimited likes
• Rewind your last swipe
• 5 Super Likes a day
• 1 boost a month
• Passport to swipe around the world
• Hide your age or location
• No ads.

We go over these mutual features in our Tinder Plus detailed review, now we will only elaborate on the two exclusive Tinder Gold features.

Here you can compare the premium features you can access using different Tinder subscriptions:

Tinder Top Picks in Tinder Gold

With Tinder Gold you will get 10 profiles that can be swiped right away, that are not part of the usual Tinder deck. Tinder claims “these top picks are designed to highlight your most swipe-worthy potential matches”.

It is important to be active and swipe these top 10 picks, as they are only available for 24 hours. As one day passes, you will see 10 new top picks. If you find this feature to be useful, you can buy even more top picks, but these also last only for 24 hours.

Likes You in Tinder Gold

The second exclusive feature of Tinder Gold is See Who Likes You Feature. This feature enables you to see who liked your profile before you actually swiping them. This means you can get a ton of potential matches without ever doing the regular swiping.

How to activate Tinder Gold?

Here is how you can get a Tinder Gold Subscription:

1. Open Tinder
2. Tap your profile icon
3. Go to Settings
4. Tap on get Tinder Gold
5. Choose your preferred monthly plan

Tinder Gold Price

The pricing of Tinder Gold is not fixed. It will depend on your age, location and the discount you are being offered. But the standard one month price is about 30 USD/month. You can get a hefty discount if you subscribe for 6 or 12 months. It is also worth comparing the price to a Tinder plus subscription as you get the same features except the above mentioned two with a lower price.

Tinder Gold Review – Should you buy it?

According to our experience, Tinder Top Picks indeed shows really high-quality profiles in its Tinder top picks report. This is great, but fortunately the majority of the profiles in the regular deck are really high quality as well. If you are not afraid to go over some not so popular profiles in the profile deck, you will still have access to high-quality profiles. Important to add that even non-subscribers get 1 top pick per day, so this is something you can definitely test before deciding to purchase Tinder Gold for it.

See who liked you is definitely a more useful feature. It might be useful for those who don’t really have the time to swipe a lot on Tinder, but still want to have conversations on Tinder and use it to go for dates. I would suggest it is more for girls, as they will get a lot more likes, so they can save precious time. Funny enough Tinder Gold is not giving any significant plus for those people who are the most active in swiping.

Should you purchase it? Well, maybe, but most likely no. Top Picks feature just doesn’t seem like a useful feature. Although you will most likely like the profiles they feature there, but if you are an active Tinder user you would do that anyway.

It also gives you insights who are the profiles that generally like you, and if you are not happy with the results, change your profile based on this.

Tinder Gold – Final Verdict
