The biggest advantage of using OkCupid is that it doesn&#8217;t target any specified dating community subset, allowing users to get maximized exposure to find their suitable companions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_OkCupid_work\"><\/span><strong>How does OkCupid work?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a guide to understand <strong>what OkCupid is<\/strong> and the way it works:<\/p>\n<p>The first step- With accessibility on PC and mobiles, you have the option of setting up your account in either of these devices. You can either use your email id or Facebook account to set up your account. Once signed up, provide a few basic information including gender interest, zip code, birthday, and how serious you are about getting into a relationship. After filling in the details, use the customization option to create a unique profile.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly- OkCupid provides you with the option of adding up to 6 profiles photos in the slots. It also provides a section where you can add your bio. Make sure you add interesting photos instead of mundane ones, and spice up your bio with witty and precise content.<\/p>\n<p>The third step- Once you are done with the bio and photos, answer some basic questions provided by the online dating platform. OkCupid will use its algorithm to find matches based on the answers and your profile.<\/p>\n<p>Finally- Since this dating app works on &#8216;mutual-like&#8217; based system, you can scan others&#8217; profiles and send likes or comments directly on the profiles you like. Another way to approach your suitable match is to either &#8216;swipe right&#8217; or &#8216;swipe left&#8217; to connect with someone on this platform.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_OkCupid_cost\"><\/span><strong>How much does OkCupid cost?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here is what you have to know about the pricing of the premium and basic OkCupid subscription and the cost of OkCupid boost:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OkCupid_premium_membership_price\"><\/span><strong>OkCupid premium membership price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1-month Basic membership costs $11.99<\/li>\n<li>3-month Basic membership costs $7.99 (per month<\/li>\n<li>6-month Basic membership costs $5.99 (per month)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OkCupid_premium_membership_price-2\"><\/span><strong>OkCupid premium membership price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1-month Premium membership costs $39.99<\/li>\n<li>3-month Premium membership costs $26.66 (per month)<\/li>\n<li>6-month Premium membership costs $19.99 (per month)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OkCupid_add-on_boost_price\"><\/span><strong>OkCupid add-on boost price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1x add on-boost costs $6.99<\/li>\n<li>5x add on-boost costs $5.99 (each)<\/li>\n<li>10x add on-boost costs $4.99 (each)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What is interesting about OkCupid is<\/strong> that it also provides &#8216;free membership&#8217; and the boosts do not renew automatically, but are one-off buys.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_OkCupid_Premium_worth_it\"><\/span><strong>Is OkCupid Premium worth it?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, but there is also a free trial that you can try.
