Pick by the reason you're leaving
Want better-matched people
eharmony
A long compatibility quiz does the first round of filtering for you. Fewer matches, but more thought behind each one.
Under 45
Hinge
Younger, relationship-minded crowd, and you can message for free. Prompts make conversations easier to start.
Over 50
SilverSingles
Everyone is 50+. Smaller pool than Match, but no scrolling past people half your age.
No apps at all
A matchmaker
A person screens and introduces you. Expensive, but it saves time if you're busy.
Meet in person
Local groups and events
Run clubs, hiking groups, classes and volunteering, all without a subscription.
Why people leave Match
- "I have to pay just to talk to anyone." Try Hinge or Bumble. Both let you match and message free.
- "Everyone's older than me." Hinge and Bumble lean younger.
- "Too many profiles, not enough depth." eharmony's quiz-first approach gives you fewer, better-screened matches.
- "I keep seeing people half my age." SilverSingles keeps things 50+.
- "My area's just quiet." In Reno or rural Nevada, no single app has a huge pool. Use two at once, widen your distance, and add something in person.
Our advice
Don't swap one annual plan for another. Keep a free profile on one app while you test another for a week or two, and only pay for the one where you're actually getting conversations with people who live within driving distance.
