Questions

Is EliteSingles free, and what does Elite Select add?

Last checked October 7, 2026.

Standard is the free tier, while Elite Select is the paid tier with 37 privileges listed on the plan screen.

We saw both when we signed in on October 7, 2026. The plan screen lists what Elite Select adds, and the Me page lists what a Standard account cannot do.

What can’t a Standard account do?

The biggest limit is messaging: a Standard account cannot initiate chats and connect with everyone. The Me page also lists these as Elite Select only:

  • see who likes you
  • swipe as much as you like
  • advanced search
  • pin chats
  • priority access to new members
  • video calls
  • animated winks

1:1 Meetups split the same way. Standard members can browse and request to join, and Elite Select members can create one. How 1:1 Meetups work explains the host’s choice.

What does Elite Select include?

The plan screen and the Discover pop-up list 37 Elite Select privileges. Support described 35 on September 24, 2026, so two were added since. The screen groups them like this:

  • Stay safe & supported: Dating Advice & Safety Tips and an ad-free experience.
  • Be more visible: more requests to meet in person through 1:1 Meetups, priority recommendations, priority access to new members, see who likes you and who viewed you, advanced Discover filters, curated daily matches, reconnect with expired matches, reset Flame passes, unlimited profile rewinds and start your own interest group.
  • Optimize your connections: Human Concierge™, unlimited private messages to anyone, a personal dating advisory team, unlimited swipes and likes, personalized greeting cards, video and voice chat with phone number masking, voice messages, view-once photos, preventing incoming calls, unlimited customized winks and message search.
  • Stand out more: pinned chats, more exposure, chat wallpaper, unlimited photo albums, exclusive emojis and animated winks.
  • Take control: hide profiles from search, browse anonymously, choose who sees you, change your username and on-demand invisibility.

What is Human Concierge?

It is one of the Elite Select privileges. The plan screen describes it as “Personalized support and handpicked matches at a fraction of the cost of a traditional matchmaking service.” Support also names it in its own description of Elite Select. We have not used it, so we cannot say how it works in practice.

Which plans are there, and where is the price?

The plan screen offers a one-month plan and a three-month plan. It shows the price after you sign in (in US dollars on our account), so check it there before you pay.

A subscription paid before the April 2026 closure is a separate question, covered in the old-subscription answer. For the apps, see which EliteSingles app is real.

If you were a member before April 30, 2026, you start again. So does everyone else.
