Tinder has reached a $60.5 million settlement in a class action lawsuit that accused the dating platform of unfairly charging users aged 29 and above higher subscription fees for its Tinder Plus service. The lawsuit, filed in 2015 in the Superior Court of California, claimed that while users under 30 were charged between $9.99 and $14.99 per month, those aged 29 and older faced fees of $19.99. Despite agreeing to the settlement, Tinder denies any wrongdoing. Customers who purchased Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold in California after March 2, 2015, when over the age of 29, or after March 2, 2016, when over the age of 28, are eligible to claim a share of the settlement. Payments will be distributed based on the total number of participating class members, and eligible users must visit the official settlement website to select their payment method by August 18, 2026. Options include PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle.
