If you're paying $500 / month, what incentive does Tinder have to find you a lasting partner? That is assuming finding a long term relationship is the goal, which it not the case all the time. That being said, I don't have any alternate pricing models in mind, pricing / monetization is hard.

Tinder is one of the few (edit: potentially) honest matchmaking services. As in, it doesn't lose if you find a partner, since most matches are intentionally short term.

Matchmakers that promise long term relationships have an inherent conflict of interest.
