Finding love online is very popular. In the latest survey conducted by the Consumer Council, nine dating apps were selected for comparison and found that the fees vary greatly.
Huang Fengxian, chief executive of the Consumer Council, said today (17th) that the fees of various dating programs vary. For example, functions such as increasing exposure rate need to pay a monthly fee. There are virtual props on the platform, which can be used for users to "teach money" to increase interaction with the person they like, but the asking price is as high as 250,000 yuan: "I don't know if the microphone can be successfully matched."
In addition, all nine dating programs presuppose that the user's personal information will be used for promotion or promotion, and have a filtering function that allows users to set preferences and find their ideal match among many people, but some of them are less common options, such as annual salary and total assets, Huang Fengxian urges users to read the terms and conditions clearly when using it, and also hopes that the platform will allow users to choose the information they want to disclose: "Do you want to tell people (total assets) quickly?"

Huang Fengxian mentioned in a radio program today that the fees of various dating programs vary, such as increasing the exposure rate and other functions need to pay a monthly fee, and urged users to read the terms clearly.
The Consumer Council found that the prices of one of the programs, Tinder, were divergent. Different age groups set different fees, and there was no clear price list. The account with the highest price was charged for a 38-year-old user, followed by 18-year-old and 58-year-old users. The lowest are users aged 28, 48, and 68.
Individual platforms charge different fees depending on age. Huang Fengxian: How much money do you need to pay for a certain age?
Huang Fengxian said that the price difference between the most expensive and the cheapest is 40%, but after checking the terms and conditions of the platform, it is only a general explanation that the pricing is determined by many factors.
She thinks the platform's explanation is unfair and lacks transparency, "It's not fair to consumers, do you need to pay more money at a certain age?"
Many dating programs have virtual props that can be used by users as "class money", but the prices vary greatly, with some as low as 15 yuan, and the platform Goodnight asks for 252,200 yuan.
Huang Fengxian pointed out that most of the related virtual props are solicited by viewing more user information and increasing interaction, but it is unknown whether they can be successfully matched.
Everyone has a different degree of aggressiveness in making friends. Huang Fengxian: Do you want to be so quick to let people listen (total assets)?
The survey by the Consumer Council found that all of them will use the user's personal information for promotion or promotion by default, and only 3 can allow users to log out, and all of them have a filtering function, allowing users to set preferences and find ideal objects among many people. Some of the less common options are covered, such as annual salary and total assets.
Huang Fengxian, who said that she has never used the relevant program, said that with the advancement of technology, meeting friends is not like participating in interest classes or doing volunteer work like before, but everyone has a different level of "aggressiveness" in meeting friends. The platform should allow users to choose: "Should wait What kind of personal information do consumers choose for themselves? Some people may not be so aggressive and would rather get to know people slowly and give less information. Why do they want to be heard (total assets) so quickly?"
The Consumer Council recommends that before registering an account on a dating app, you should understand the methods of handling personal data; when using a dating app, you must be careful not to be deceived, and do not give any form of financial assistance to people you have never met; when you go to an appointment to meet, Personal safety should also be taken into account.
