OurTime cost per month for over 50 and is it worth paying for
MatureMeet editorial team
OurTime is reported to cost about $30 for a single month, about $25 a month on a three month plan and about $18 a month on six months, with the longer terms billed as one payment at the start. Joining and browsing is free, but messaging generally needs a paid plan. If you would rather pay month to month among members aged 40 to 80 who have all passed a selfie and phone check, MatureMeet Premium is $39 a month, and you can see verified members near you before you pay.
How much does OurTime cost per month?
OurTime does not show one fixed price, and review sites quote different numbers because offers change by promotion, device and region. These are the figures recent guides repeat, so treat them as approximate.
| Plan | Reported price per month | Reported total at checkout |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month | Reported price per month about $30 | Reported total at checkout about $30 |
| 3 months | Reported price per month about $25 | Reported total at checkout about $75 |
| 6 months | Reported price per month about $18 | Reported total at checkout about $109 |
| MatureMeet Premium | Reported price per month $39 a month, no minimum term | Reported total at checkout $39, then month to month |
| MatureMeet Premium yearly | Reported price per month $19 a month | Reported total at checkout $228 |
| MatureMeet VIP Concierge | Reported price per month $149 a month or $74 a month yearly | Reported total at checkout $149, then month to month |
Totals are the monthly figure multiplied by the term. Some older guides list lower prices and some list higher ones, so confirm the figure at checkout before you pay.
On a six month term OurTime is cheaper per month than our $39 Premium, and that is the honest comparison. The difference is that you commit about $109 to a single site up front, and what you get for it depends on who is nearby.
Is OurTime free?
You can create a profile, browse and often send a limited reaction without paying. Reading and answering messages generally needs a subscription. Because joining costs nothing, anyone can open an account in minutes, which is why many reviews mention fake and inactive profiles. Look at the profiles in your area before you pay.
Is OurTime worth it for singles over 50?
OurTime is worth a look if you want a large pool and a low entry price. It is part of Match Group and has a long history with the 50 plus market. It can disappoint if you want to know that the person writing to you is real, since a free entrance also lets in scammers and people who never reply.
Check three things on a free profile before you pay.
- How many members in your own age range live within driving distance.
- Whether messages get answered after two days.
- What the renewal date is and how to cancel.
If the numbers are good, a short plan is a reasonable test. If they are thin, the low monthly rate on a long term is not the real cost. The real cost is the months without a date.
What are the hidden costs of OurTime?
- Prepayment. A longer plan is cheaper per month but you pay the whole term at once.
- Auto renewal. Plans can renew unless you cancel, so note the date. A forgotten renewal is the most common complaint in subscription reviews.
- Cancelling in the right place. If you subscribed through an app store, you cancel there.
- The cost of a bad match. If a conversation turns to money, stop. If you ever shared financial details with someone you met online, a credit score check shows quickly whether anything has been opened in your name.

How does OurTime pricing compare with Match and eharmony?
OurTime sits at the low end of the big names. Match is reported at roughly $25 to $45 a month depending on term, and eharmony at higher prices that are billed for 6 to 24 months, so a long eharmony term can mean several hundred dollars paid at once. Our [eharmony vs Match]() guide goes through those numbers, and the Zoosk and EliteSingles cost guides do the same for two more sites.
The cheap sticker price tells you little by itself. A site at $18 a month with few nearby members in your age range costs more per date than a site at $39 where most profiles are active and verified. Divide your total spend by the number of real conversations you had, and judge the site on that.
A simple way to decide before you pay
Spend ten minutes on each site you are considering. Set your age range, your zip code and a 25 mile radius, then count profiles that have a recent photo and a full bio. Message two people and see who replies within 48 hours. Write down the renewal date and cancel path before you enter a card. Whichever site gives you the most real replies for the lowest total spend is the right one for you, and it may not be the cheapest per month.
A cheaper way to test before you pay anyone
Ask for a preview that shows real members near you before you enter a card. MatureMeet's match preview lists verified members in your age range for free. If it shows people you would want to meet, choose Premium by the month. If you want someone to choose introductions for you, VIP Concierge is a human matchmaker you pay by the month, not a package of thousands of dollars.
