Is Bumble Premium Worth It: Subscription Cost, Features, and More

You might have been using Bumble for some time but aren’t getting any matches, let alone finding that special someone. Or you are getting likes and want to see who they are instead of right-swiping everyone. Well, you could consider getting Bumble Premium for these reasons. But is Bumble Premium worth it? That’s exactly what we are going to find out in this guide.

Besides Premium, Bumble offers many subscription options, which might be enough for your needs. Hence, we will not only explore Bumble Premium features but also help you find the right Bumble subscription plan.

What Does Bumble Premium Include

Let’s start with the features of Bumble Premium, as that’s the plan most users choose.

• Unlimited likes: With this, you get unlimited likes or right swipes. This is valid for both general feed and best bees feed.
• View who liked you: You can see who liked or right-swiped you and have the option to like them back.
• Advanced filters: Apart from the normal set of filters, you can use the advanced filters to set your preferences and find who you are looking for.
• Travel mode: With this, you can change your location on Bumble and meet people from other places. However, Bumble will let the other person know that you are using the Travel mode from your profile.

• Backtrack left swipes: Accidentally left-swiped someone? No worries! With Premium, you can use an undo-like button to recall the swipe.
• Unlimited extends: Normally, if you are matched with someone, the woman can text within 24 hours before the match expires. You can extend the time for expiration with Extend. While regular users only get one extension daily, Premium users can enjoy unlimited extends.
• Rematch with expired connections: Believe in second chances? You can now rematch with the expired connections.
• One Spotlight per week: Spotlight boosts your profile and shows it to more people for 30 minutes. Every week, you get one Spotlight.
• Five SuperSwipes per week: Similar to Spotlight, you also get 5 SuperSwipes per week. With SuperSwipes, you can show the other person that you have given the like, making it easier for them to like.
• Activate Incognito mode: Incognito mode is a feature where you can show your profile to those you have swiped. This might increase the chance of getting more likes or avoiding likes from people you don’t know.

Can You Get Matches Without Bumble Premium

Yes! You can get matches in Bumble without Premium. However, getting a Premium subscription has benefits. For example, you might get more matches if you change your current location, as there might not be enough Bumble users in your area or people similar to your taste. With Travel mode, you can easily change your location on Bumble and meet interesting people.

Similarly, features such as Unlimited likes, Spotlight, SuperSwipes, and Extend can increase the chance of getting more likes from the platform.

How Much Is Bumble Premium

How to Buy Bumble Premium

The steps to get Bumble Premium is easy. All you have to do is:

From here, you can complete your purchase. Usually, Premium benefits will reflect shortly after the purchase. The Steps are mostly the same for Bumble web.

Other Bumble Paid Plans

As mentioned earlier, Bumble offers multiple subscription plans with some interesting features. Usually, this can be enough for many users instead of spending a significant amount on Premium. Let’s check them out:

Bumble Boost

This can be called Bumble Lite, as this is the toned-down version of the Premium plan. With Boost, you will get:

• One Spotlight top-up every week
• Five SuperSwipes recharge each week
• Unlimited likes
• Unlimited Extends
• Unlimited Rematches
• Unlimited Backtracks

Top-up Plans

Apart from Premium and Boost, if you are only interested in SuperSwipe and Spotlight, Bumble also offers that option.

Additionally, if you are lucky enough, Bumble sometimes also offers a special plan to get unlimited likes. This is usually given to new accounts who haven’t purchased any Premium plans before.

Should You Buy Bumble Premium

Now, to answer the question which we all have been waiting for. Is Bumble Premium worth your time and money? I would say yes. Sure, you can use the app without subscribing, get matches, and meet your special someone. However, with all its features, you can further increase the chances.

Let me give you an example: I was not getting matches when I installed Bumble for the first time. However, after subscribing to Premium, I used the Travel mode to change my location to somewhere more appropriate and started to get more matches.

I also always get frustrated with how Bumble limits the like count, and it feels always bugged, as the likes don’t refill after two days. However, I didn’t worry about likes after taking Premium.

That doesn’t mean non-premium users are doomed. Despite taking Premium, I could only match with my now-girlfriend when I was using the free version (yes, I canceled my Premium subscription after some time). So yes, you can give Bumble Premium a shot. Boost is worth checking out if you find it expensive, as you won’t miss many features.

Free or Premium: You’ll Get What You Deserve

You might feel like life is a pay-to-win after seeing a subscription plan for almost everything. But that’s not the case, at least till now. There is always a free or affordable option for nearly everything. It is the same even for dating. Ultimately, if you are destined to meet that special someone, you will meet them, regardless of whether you have a free or Premium plan.
