The Pitch

Other apps are running a subscription business.

Which is fine — for them. For you, it means the longer you’re single, the more profitable you are. A business model built around your loneliness. Cozy, isn’t it?

Tinder Gold

$29.99/month

“Lets you see who swiped right on you — a service you are actively receiving — that you pay for monthly.”

Bumble Premium

$54.99/month

“Includes an ‘incognito mode.’ Because evidently, privacy is a luxury tier.”

Hinge Preferred

$39.99/month

“‘Designed to be deleted.’ Tragically, not designed to be affordable.”

Match.com

$44.99/month

“They’ve been doing this since 1995. Thirty years. Still charging monthly. Respect the commitment, at least.”

Average spend across those four apps over one year:

$2,039.52

Charged monthly. Automatically. Until you find love or give up. Whichever comes first.

$2,039other apps / yearvs$1ONE BUCK / ever

One Buck. One Time. One Love.

Not per month. Not per year. Not per “Super Like” or “Boost” or whatever else gets invented next week. One dollar. One time. You’re in. That’s the entire model.

A few things we actually believe.

Not our mission statement. Just the stuff that seemed obvious but apparently needed saying out loud.

  • The barrier to meeting people should not be a subscription tier.
  • A dollar is enough to keep the bots out. It just is.
  • If we have to lock basic features behind a paywall, we’ve already failed.
  • Love is chaotic enough without billing cycles.

Real Talk

We’re not going to promise you love.

Dating apps don’t change lives. People do. We’re just the room you walk into — one you only had to pay a dollar to get through the door.

We didn’t build ONE BUCK Dating because the world needed another dating app. We built it because we were genuinely confused why finding a real person required a recurring billing arrangement.

The dollar isn’t about revenue. It’s a filter. Bots don’t pay. People who aren’t serious don’t pay. The one dollar means everyone in the room chose to be there. That’s worth something.

The rest — the matching, the conversations, the awkward first messages — that’s entirely up to you. We just show up, charge less than your morning coffee, and stay out of the way.

The fine print.

There isn’t much. One dollar. One time. No auto-renew. No premium tier. No “Gold” or “Platinum” or “Diamond” or whatever comes after diamond. Just people — real ones — looking for other real people.

Novel concept, we know.
