Bumble Premium+ Review [2026 Cost, Feature Comparison & More!]

Priority visibility for competitive markets—at a premium price.

Bumble Premium+ is worth it if you're in a major city like NYC, LA, or San Francisco where competition is fierce and your profile might otherwise get buried. The three exclusive features—Priority Likes, automatic daily profile boosts, and access to Trending profiles—give you a real visibility advantage. At $79.99/month, it's significantly pricier than Tinder Platinum ($49.99) or HingeX ($49.99), so it only makes sense if you're in a crowded market where that extra exposure translates to more matches.

Key Insights

• Cost: $79.99/month (or $39.99/week, $159.99/3 months)—one of the priciest dating subscriptions available
• Three exclusive features: Priority Likes (matches see you sooner), automatic daily boosts, and access to Trending profiles
• Includes all lower-tier perks: Everything from Bumble Premium and Bumble Boost is included
• Best for: Users in major cities with heavy competition who need visibility advantages
• Not worth it if: You frequently run out of profiles to swipe—the smaller user pool is your problem, not visibility
• Won't fix a weak profile: Extra exposure only helps if your photos and bio are already compelling
• Limited availability: Not yet available in all markets

We've used Bumble daily since it launched in 2014, swiping, matching, and messaging on behalf of thousands of clients. Here's our expert breakdown of whether Premium+ justifies its price tag.

Launched in late 2023, Bumble Premium+ is the app's highest-tier subscription—above both Bumble Boost and Bumble Premium. It unlocks three additional features while including everything from the lower tiers.

Your Likes, Up Top (Priority Likes)

Similar to Tinder's Priority Likes, this feature ensures anyone you "Like" sees your profile sooner than they would otherwise. In competitive markets where card stacks are deep, this can mean the difference between being seen today versus never.

Stand Out Every Day (Automatic Boosts)

The app automatically promotes your profile "at the best time" every day. It's essentially a strategic, hands-off Bumble Spotlight that runs daily without you doing anything.

See Trending People

This unlocks the "Trending" tab in the Discover section, where you can swipe through profiles getting the most attention on the app—the most popular local singles based on likes, SuperSwipes, and engagement.

Important note: The Trending tab is visible to everyone, but only Premium+ subscribers can actually view the profiles there. These aren't curated specifically for you like your Best Bees, so some may fall slightly outside your usual matching criteria.

Pricing may vary by location

For comparison:

• Tinder Platinum: ~$49.99/month
• HingeX: ~$49.99/month
• Bumble Premium: ~$54.99/month

Premium+ is among the most expensive dating app subscriptions available.

What's Included from Lower Tiers

Premium+ includes all features from Bumble Premium and Bumble Boost:

From Bumble Premium:

• See everyone who's already liked you
• Rematch with expired connections
• Extend matches by 24 hours
• Advanced filters
• Incognito Mode
• Travel Mode

From Bumble Boost:

• Unlimited right swipes
• 1 Spotlight per week
• 5 SuperSwipes per week
• Ability to Backtrack (undo swipes)
• Unlimited extends

Yes, if:

You're in a major metro area like San Francisco, LA, New York, Chicago, or other cities with tons of Bumble users. The Priority Likes feature gives you a real competitive advantage—your potential matches are virtually guaranteed to see your profile. Without it, you might never make it to the top of her card stack.

You want hands-off visibility boosts. The automatic daily promotion saves you from manually timing Spotlights and ensures consistent exposure.

You want access to the most popular users. The Trending tab is an express lane to singles getting the most attention on the app.

No, if:

You frequently run out of profiles to swipe. If your market has limited users, Premium+ won't help—you're seeing everyone already. Stick with the free version or a cheaper tier.

Your profile needs work. Premium+ gets more eyes on your profile, but those eyes still need to swipe right. If your photos or bio aren't compelling, you're just paying to be rejected faster.

Budget is a concern. At nearly $80/month, you could subscribe to both Tinder Platinum AND HingeX for the same price—potentially reaching more total users across two platforms.

If the Premium+ option doesn't appear in your app, it's not yet available in your market. Bumble is rolling out the tier gradually and hasn't launched it everywhere.

Deleting the Bumble app does not cancel your subscription. You must cancel properly through your device settings.

On iPhone:

1. Go to Settings
2. Tap your Apple ID
3. Select Subscriptions

5. Tap "Cancel Subscription"

On Android:
