Tinder announced that it is working on a new exclusive subscription service titled 'Tinder Vault.' Tinder Vault will cost the user $500 USD per month, making it an incredibly premium subscription, costing far more than the $15 monthly Tinder Gold. Tinder stated that Tinder Vault is designed for semi-influential and influential users on its platform who want to date others of a similar level of influence, justifying the high-end price point.
However, this is not simply paid access to a different set of users, as the enhanced subscription also comes with a personalized concierge service, which the company describes as 24/7 access to real dating coaches. Additionally, the subscription comes with a premium passport for the most active users, which includes a special badge and priority access to feeds and new features.
