Tinder users in California may soon receive payments from a $60.5 million class action settlement tied to subscription pricing. The lawsuit claimed older customers paid more than younger users for the same premium features on the dating app.
Court records show the case focused on pricing for Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold subscriptions sold between 2015 and 2016.
Good to Know
The lawsuit was filed by Allan Candelore on behalf of California users who said pricing differed based on age.
Court documents explain the claim:
“The lawsuit was brought by Allan Candelore on behalf of himself and other California consumers who were charged a higher price for their Tinder subscriptions because of their age. The lawsuit alleges that Tinder’s higher pricing for older users violated California’s Unruh Act…
On January 17, 2025, the Court denied Tinder’s motion to require class members to arbitrate their claims rather than have the Court decide them. Tinder appealed that Court order.
While Tinder’s appeal was pending, the parties met to discuss the possibility of settling the case. At a mediation on September 10, 2025, the parties agreed to a settlement in the amount of $60.5 million, which is subject to Court approval.”
The settlement covers users in California who purchased Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold and were at least 29 years old at the time of the purchase.
Pricing differences between age groups appeared in early subscription plans. Younger users often paid lower monthly rates, while older users saw higher prices for the same features.
Tinder agreed to resolve the case through the settlement but denied any violation of law or wrongdoing connected to its pricing structure.
Eligibility centers on California residents who purchased Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold on or after March 2, 2015 while aged 29 or older.
Court approval still remains part of the process before payments move forward.
