Premium and Members-Only Apps
Apps that cost real money or make you apply. Raya, The League, Inner Circle, Luxy and EliteSingles all sell scarcity: a vetted membership, a smaller pool, fewer time-wasters. Sometimes that is true. Sometimes you are paying a monthly fee to see the same people who are on Hinge for nothing. We grade on what the vetting actually checks, how long the waitlist runs, what a month costs as a band rather than a sale price, whether the subscription renews on terms you can escape, and whether there are enough members in your city to justify the premium.
