Plans & Pricing

MatureDating has five subscription options ranging from 1 day to 6 months. The longer the subscription, the less you pay per day. As is often the case with these sites, there are regular discounts available to reduce the costs.

We have visited MatureDating multiple times over the last year or so. We have conducted several reviews and read countless more, and on every occasion, there has a been a “time-limited” 30% discount. It’s like a “going out of business” sale at a furniture store, and it’s safe to assume that you will never full price. With that in mind, the prices quoted below are all calculated with the discount in mind.

1 Day

For $1.69, the 1 Day package is a great way to try out the premium services and see if they’re for you. It’s a low commitment way to see how long you want to commit.

3 Days

Described as a “3 day trial”, this option gives you a few days to test the site and determine if it’s a good fit for you. However, we still think that the 1 day option is best.

1 Month

The 1 Month plan opens access to all the premium features for 30 days at $30.39 ($0.89 per day).

3 Months

The 3 Months plan costs just $0.89 per day or $74.68 for 90 days.

6 Months

The 3 Months plan takes you down to $0.59 per day making it $98.78 for 180 days of access to all the premium features.

Overview

MatureDating is a dating site for singles over the age of 40. They understand their audience and know that older singles want something simple and to-the-point. It’s a great site for more mature daters who still have a young-at-heart spirit and want to meet other mature singles in a low-pressure, fun environment.

Unlike other sites tailored toward older members, MatureDating lets younger users join. Everyone over the age of 18 is invited to join and there are a surprisingly high number of them populating the site.

Ease of Use

Registration process

Registering is a quick process so you can get started and focus on finding your match right away. Just enter your name and email, confirm your email address with a code, and then get started! You can add additional information about yourself after that. You’ll need to upload a profile photo before you can contact any potential matches.

Profile set-up

As mentioned, your profile photo is the key to start communicating. You can also add physical attributes about yourself like your hair and eye colour, body type, height, weight, ethnicity, and religion. There is an area to write a status, saying whatever you’re feeling at the moment.

Notification settings

Under “Settings”, you can customise how you like to be notified.

Messaging

The messaging system requires a profile photo to be activated. If you opt for the free package, you can only message five people per day. You need to upgrade to one of the premium packages if you want unlimited messages.

Message filters

There are no message filters, but you can easily block members from whom you prefer not to receive messages.

Daily matches

Your filtered search will be stored in your account and reflected on the home page while you’re logged in. You can change the search filters at any time to update your matches.

Member search

You can do as simple a search as you like or get more detailed. Choose an age range, location by miles, hair colour, eye colour, ethnicity, religion, and more. The more details you choose, the fewer matches you’ll get but they will be exactly what you’re looking for.

Verified Members

Members can become verified by calling the support number and going through the verification process with a trained customer support person.

Special Features

MatureDating runs on a similar model as most other dating sites. They haven’t reinvented the wheel, but they have simplified the process with a few added features.

Unlimited Messaging

When you sign up for the Premium account, you gain access to unlimited messaging, bigger photos, unlimited search results, and the ability to share photos and videos in chats.

You are also able to see all profile information of any member and send messages to as many of them as you want. You also get access to all new features.

Flirtcast

Flirtcast is a handy feature that allows you to send a prewritten message crafted by dating professionals. They are little icebreaker messages that make a great starter for a conversation. The ability to send them to more than one match saves time and makes initiating communication much easier.

Mobile App

There is an app available for iPhones and a mobile site. Both are exactly like the desktop website and do not offer any additional features except the convenience of mature dating on your phone.

Site Safety

Block

Any member you decide you don’t want contact with anymore can be blocked through their profile.

Safe Mode

There are several levels of safe mode to choose from. You can choose to go without a safety net and be open to anybody contacting you. Basic safe mode only stops profiles that have been marked suspicious from contacting you. Full safe mode only allows verified members who have been fully vetted to contact you.

Report

Every profile has an option to report anything that seems vulgar or suspicious.

Dating safety

MatureDating takes dating safety very seriously. There is a link at the bottom of your match page with safety tips, along with more tips in the FAQ section.

Customer support

With such an easy-to-use platform, MatureDating probably won’t require much support but should you need help, they have a contact form, customer care centre, and an FAQ page. The contact form does not guarantee a response time, but the customer care centre is available 24/7.

There is also a feedback form where you can offer suggestions you would like to see on the site and report site errors.

  • 24/7 Help & Support
    Customer service can be reached by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • Phone Support
    Phone support is available.
  • Email
    Support can be reached via a contact form on the website.
  • FAQ
    The FAQ section is comprehensive, offering tips and walkthroughs for every aspect of their site.

Final Word

MatureDating keeps things easy and straightforward. They know their users and cater to their needs to make finding a match simple and enjoyable. Anybody who is of a certain age (or wants to date someone of a certain age) can find the match of their dreams without complicated algorithms or lengthy profile setups.
