Earlier, the Bumble Spotlight cost was two Bumble Coins. Bumble Coins is an in app currency that you can buy through credit card, PayPal, Google Wallet, or Apple Pay. However, it has changed now.


The Bumble Spotlight costs are not in Coins anymore. Instead, you can directly buy the Spotlights in bundles. Depending on the bundle you choose, the money for a single Spotlight session can range between $0.5 to $1.3.


Every in-app purchase should be carefully chosen. This is one purchase that will go to waste if you aren’t prepared. You can get prepared by getting advice from ROAST.

Moreover, you can also activate the feature when people are bound to stay at home. Hence, activity surge during extreme weather is typical.

Spotlight is basically Bumble's version of Tinder Boost. They will both prioritize your profile for half an hour on the respective dating apps.


When it comes to comparing the results, Bumble Spotlight is better. The reason is that Tinder has more people registered. Hence, even after using the standard Boost feature, there are fewer chances of getting matches.


Tinder has introduced a new feature called Super Boost to overcome this issue. Instead of 10x, Tinder Super Boost gives you 100x more visibility for three hours. But you also have to pay more for it.


Think about what it means to pay for a dating app. Will it make more people like you? Probably not. Selling yourself really well makes people like you. ROAST is ready to help you do that. They’ve studied the world of dating apps so you don’t have to. They’re ready to show you exactly what you need to do to make your profile shine. Don’t make a single in-app purchase on Bumble without consulting ROAST first.

Get your jargon in place! I get lost a lot myself. I guess they do it on purpose, but they do not refer at all to the same thing.


While the Boost is common in the names, these premium packages of the respective dating apps offer different features. Bumble Boost is a premium package similar to Tinder Plus.


Bumble Boost gives access to several premium features like Unlimited Filters, Bumble Extend, Unlimited swipes, etc. Tinder Boost, on the other hand, is like Bumble's Spotlight. It simply promotes your profile on the stack for 30 minutes.

After knowing so much about Spotlight, the question that arises now is that is "Bumble Spotlight worth it?" Well, here's the Bumble Spotlight review. It is one of the best premium features on this dating app.


It boosts your profile for a specific time to enhance the chances of matches at a fraction of a cost compared to Tinder. But it's not all pros. Bumble Spotlight does have some loopholes.


As you don't have to buy Spotlight through Bumble Coins anymore, the price for each Spotlight has also been reduced significantly.


The first negative point about Spotlight is that if you stay in a rural area, the chances of matches will reduce. The next thing is that it does not give you access to additional swipes. Hence, before activating Spotlight, ensure you have enough swipes left for the day.
