How much do dating apps cost in Vietnam? The public iPhone listings checked on 14 November 2026 include Bumble Premium at 169,000đ for one month. Tinder and OkCupid also list paid options in đồng, but their displayed purchase names do not identify the billing period. You can compare those amounts below, but you need the in-app checkout to make a fair monthly comparison.
Start with the free experience if you mainly want to find people to talk to. A paid plan is worth considering when it removes a specific limitation you have actually encountered and fits your budget alongside transport and dates.
What can you use before buying a subscription?
Free download and free communication are different. Check the messaging rule before comparing paid upgrades.

Official messaging information checked 14 November 2026. Tinder’s guide was updated 22 October 2026; the Avo FAQ do not give a separate publication date for these claims.
Prices listed in Vietnam, with billing periods separated
These are selected entries from Apple’s Vietnam storefront, not guaranteed offers for every account. The source links open each app’s listing; look under “In-App Purchases.” All three competitors are listed as free to download with optional purchases. These figures do not establish Android or direct-web prices.
| App and paid option | Listed amount | Period identified in the purchase name? |
|---|---|---|
| Tinder Plus | 35,000đ | No; check checkout |
| Tinder Gold, same listing | 56,000đ, 113,000đ, 179,000đ or 189,000đ | No; these are separate listed entries |
| Bumble Boost | 49,000đ | Seven days |
| Bumble Premium, same listing | 39,000đ or 84,000đ | Seven days; multiple listed entries |
| Bumble Premium, same listing | 169,000đ | One month |
| Bumble Premium Plus, same listing | 119,000đ | Seven days |
| OkCupid Basic | 189,000đ | No; check checkout |
| OkCupid Premium, same listing | Examples: 179,000đ, 449,000đ or 929,000đ | No; check checkout |
| AvoVietnam Gold | 349,000đ | One month |
| AvoVietnam standard messaging | Free text messaging | Optional Gold is separate |
An unidentified period means we cannot label the amount “per month.” Several entries with the same name also do not tell us which offer your account can buy. This table therefore does not support naming an overall cheapest paid app.
What are you paying to change?
Before choosing a tier, finish the sentence: “I want to pay because I need ___.” If the answer is only “more luck,” try improving your profile photos and introduction first.
Tinder: its subscription guide lists unlimited Likes in Plus, seeing who likes you in Gold, and prioritized Likes in Platinum. Check the exact benefits in your offer.
Bumble: its paid-plan guide places Advanced Filters, Incognito and Travel Mode in Premium. Confirm your needed feature before choosing Boost on price alone.
OkCupid: the table separates Basic and Premium because they are different purchase names. Open the feature list alongside the price in your account. The public amounts alone cannot tell you the best-value tier or the cost of a month.
AvoVietnam: our FAQ describes free standard text messaging and optional Gold features. That does not mean every feature is free. The linked App Store listing supplies the Gold amount in the table; check the current offer before upgrading.
The Avo Dating Team operates AvoVietnam and publishes this comparison. We have not measured these apps’ local membership, match rates or relationship outcomes. Price is one part of choosing a service, not evidence that it will work better for you.
Compare the same amount of time
Among the explicitly labeled one-month entries, Bumble Premium is listed at 169,000đ and AvoVietnam Gold at 349,000đ. Those are different products with different features; this comparison establishes the listed charge, not equivalent access or better results.
A small weekly charge can become a larger commitment when repeated. As an illustration using one of the listed Bumble offers, four seven-day purchases at 84,000đ total 336,000đ for 28 days. The listing also has a one-month Premium entry at 169,000đ. This is arithmetic using public entries, not a promise that both offers will appear in your account or that the renewal price stays the same. Four weeks and a calendar month are also different periods.
For any offer, write down the total charged now, the duration, the next billing date and the renewal amount. A six-month plan advertised with a monthly equivalent may require the full six-month payment upfront. Divide the total by six to compare cost, but keep the upfront payment in your budget.
In Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, include the cost of getting to a public meeting place when deciding what you can afford. Keep a separate allowance for an actual outing; our low-cost date ideas in Vietnam can help you plan it without turning an app upgrade into your whole dating budget.
Check your account and payment channel before buying
Bumble’s pricing guidance says costs depend on the tier, duration and package size, with current offers shown in the app. Treat a friend’s screenshot or this dated table as a starting point for checking your own offer.
- Confirm that the price is in VND and that your store region is Vietnam.
- Read the full plan name and period. Distinguish a subscription from a one-off visibility purchase.
- Check the features, amount due today and renewal terms before confirming payment.
- If comparing purchase channels, use the same account, tier and duration. Do not assume a US-dollar price converted to đồng is a Vietnamese offer.
- Save the receipt and set a reminder before the renewal date if you intend a short trial of the paid experience.
Do not pay a match or send them your account or payment details to obtain a supposed subscription discount. Use the app’s own purchase flow.
Stop renewals through the service that bills you
For an Apple-billed subscription, Apple’s cancellation guide directs iPhone users to Settings, their name, then Subscriptions to select the plan and cancel it. Check the resulting status and expiry date.
Tinder’s cancellation instructions distinguish Apple, Google Play and direct purchases. Uninstalling Tinder does not cancel its subscription. Use the receipt to identify who bills you, then follow that provider’s instructions. For another app, check its own cancellation guide before removing it.
