Tinder Gold is one of Tinder's best-selling features to date, which offers Tinder Plus features and much more!
Tinder Plus includes unlimited likes and a few other perks like rewind. On the other hand, Tinder Gold has all of these features with some extras included such as a boost in your profile position so you can be seen by more people.
It also includes an increased number of swipes each day (10 instead of 5) and one free "boost" every month that allows you to reach up to 100 potential matches at a time. The question then becomes: is Tinder gold worth it?
Finally, what should we actually think, given that there is the big brother Tinder Platinum just round the corner?

Here is the outline of the article, feel free to jump to the section that interests you the most.
No dates?
ROAST can help you understand WHY and HOW to fix it.
Tinder Gold buys you everything included in Tinder Plus and some others.
Let's start with the obvious. You will get:
Finally more than 100 likes per day! However, do not abuse this!
We talk about the risks for your ELO in our article to know everything on the topic!
From Tinder Plus on, you can now have your profile only shown to people YOU previously liked. I wouldn't recommend maximizing your likes but can be useful for some of us 😈.
Additionally, you can add some mystery to your profile.
You can hide your age and position. a useful strategy to hint at the curiosity of people. However, like any bold move, it can backslash hard as well.
You get one free boost per month! That's a huge boost of your exposure, for 30min.
I'll give you a free tip about this. A key point of Tinder is to be active. During a boost, your likes are more shown to girls than during regular time!
Capitalize on this! Keep swiping for that 30min! Don't be lazy!
Although, you get a chance to buy the SUPER BOOSTS. 6h, 12h boosts. The NUKES as we call them. We will write in another article how to use them as a weapon at your service effectively!
You get no less than 5 super likes per day. 5 chances to stand-out from competition! Super likes are said to bring an additional 30% success rate compared to a regular like. Interesting!
Every day you get 4-10 profiles chosen by Tinder to match YOUR taste. A good opportunity to match profiles you REALLY like.
And you get those at the end of your finger, without having to continuously swipe left all the profiles you are not into. A time saver.
We all know the pain of having to spend 15 minutes to just find 3 profiles you like. Tinder Gold takes care of that for you.
A time saver!
If you are someone who is really busy or on the go, Tinder gold is your best friend! We will come back on that!
Tinder Gold enables you to finally quit playing, and get the oracle skills: see who liked you straight away.
Not only that, Tinder Gold offers the ability to see who has been liking your profile, with this sign:
You will see it while swiping. You can know for instance for sure that Erin already liked you!
The biggest perk is actually to have this big EGO place: see at ONCE all the matches waiting for your approval:
You just need to click on the top left icon, and access your potential matches!
Note Tinder teasing me to jump to Tinder Platinum!
I see you coming to me like
"Yes, but Ben, I could access those profiles for free"
Again, YES and NO !
First, the pile of profiles in front of you is very big. In free mode, you can just swipe 50/day. This pile is not static! It can change each time you reconnect.
Second, Tinder is likely to still show your profile to people slightly out of your search criteria. Good surprises can happen!
So, another HUGE time saver you can use! Especially at when you first subscribe and can go through ALL those matches, like a kid on Christmas day.

First Tinder Gold is not available in every country yet. But that is a minor downside if it is available in yours!
Do not forget about the dark side of subscribing to Tinder Gold.
The biggest con of Gold. After subscribing, you have very conveniently the list of your matches at your disposal.
Without having to swipe! Great. Why losing time swiping then? I can just check this list every day, and also check the tailored swipes suggested by the app.
BIG MISTAKES!
We taught you how to increase your ELO in our article. The main factor to increase your ELO is to be ACTIVE. Active meaning to keep swiping.
The opposite of what Tinder Gold pushes you to do! Watch out! Dating apps can be sneaky.
This is a huge opportunity cost too. As I said, it is very likely that if you swipe on a girl, then she will actually see your profile in the future!
Your swiping action HAS an impact!
From my experience, I still get a LOT of matches from swiping actively.
Small aside. Did you know it is possible to make your profile more attractive in 2 minutes and get more dates every day?
Thanks to our AI trained on 10,000+ pictures rated by hot guys and girls, you will be able to access personalized feedback and tips to boost your dating profile for good.
You will know exactly which pictures are good or not, and most importantly why.
So, what are you waiting for to take charge of your dating life?
Lost?
STOP getting lost in endless swiping with no clear direction. Get data-driven feedback and a clear action plan to get more dates.
No of course not. Or actually yes 😏.
First of all No, it is not written if a user has a given subscription. People like to stay discrete most of the time! It avoids judgment from others.However, if you followed the article so far, you may have guessed that there is a trick!
Two features give away that you have bought a subscription:
This girl for sure at least pays Tinder Plus for instance! Those are the only two ways I found to check if someone is paying Tinder.
Of course, I do not talk about the special super like used in Tinder Platinum! Check out our article about Tinder Platinum if you want to know the tricks!
YES!
You have a 3 days free trial period you can use! It can be tricky to think about canceling on time. You have services popping up to remind you of doing so if you are the lazy type!
Well first, Tinder Gold is a BOOSTER. Not a magic pill that will skyrocket your dating results and have you crumble under matches.
The better your profile, the more you will benefit from Tinder Gold.
How do you know if you have worked enough on your profile? Simple, you already have good results.
If you have a few matches every day, then you go put those huge boosters on your profile to reach the top.
On the other hand, if you are stuck at 0 matches, work on your profile first!
