What is the Price of eHarmony Subscriptions?
How much does it cost to join eHarmony? eHarmony’s subscription pricing is listed below with promotional codes (coupons) you can use below that. eHarmony is reluctant to give out this information until you’re an official member…and since becoming a member involves a very long personality profile test, I wanted to list them here.

eHarmony TotalConnect
eHarmony TotalConnect is the standard eHarmony subscriptions with several optional features that are normally offered separately. Using the eHarmony TotalConnect will save you some money if you are going to uses these optional features. The additional features that are included are:
- Premium Personality Profile: Provides a deeper understanding of your personality and how it can affect your relationships and dating life.
- RelyID: Provides other singles with the knowledge that you are who you say you are by validating your ID. This can encourage some people to communicate with you more readily.
- Secure Call: Secure call allows you to communicate with your matches over the phone while keeping your phone number totally anonymous – plus there are no long distance charges. In my opinion, this is the best of the additional features included in the TotalConnect plan.
The TotalConnect prices are as follows:
Thoughts on the Subscription Pricing at eHarmony
First, the longer you sign up for the more you save. For example, in the U.S. if you sign up for 3 months you’re paying $39.85 a month where signing up for 6 months will cost $29.95 a month and the full year will cost what equates to $19.95 a month. Still, paying for a full year doesn’t necessarily save you money. For example, if you meet someone in 3-months on the 12-month plan, then you’ve essentially paid about $79 a month (assuming you wouldn’t need to use the service again for the remainder of the year you’ve subscribed for).
I think there’s a happy medium to be found for subscribing to eHarmony. Personally, it’s hard for me to imagine signing up for a year unless I loved dating or I was extremely pessimistic. However, if you’re brand new to online dating, it’s uncommon to find yourself in a relationship in the first month. Because of this, I would say that if you’re new to online dating, committed to sticking with it, and interested in taking things slow building a relationship, sign up for 6-months as it will save you money in the long run (especially with the promo which works out to about $24 a month). If you’re experienced with online dating or open to jumping into a relationship quickly, 3 months might be a safer bet (sadly, not coupon for the shorter subscriptions). Obviously signing up for a single month or a full year is fine too but they each have some draw backs (an extremely high price for the single month and the long commitment for the year).
The good thing about signing up for the 3-month plan is even if you did stop using it after two months you wouldn’t have paid any more than if you had been on the single month plan. The same thing goes for the 6-month plan: as long as you can stick with it for 3 months (less with the promo), you’re not out money. When I was dating online I used eHarmony for about 5 months and I used the month-to-month plan. I think I was overly optimistic, each time when auto-renewing thinking to myself that I would meet someone in the next month. There’s nothing wrong with this thinking but I could have saved a lot of money if I had taken a middle-of-the-road approach.
A Warning Regarding Auto-Renewals
One final note: many dating services will auto-renew you at the same plan when your current runs out. When signing up for any dating site plan, be aware of this. For example, if you sign up for 6 months and then meet that special someone after the fourth or fifth, I would recommend canceling your account so it will NOT auto-renew for another 6 months (although you should still be able to access your account until the current plan time runs out). I am not sure what eHarmony’s renewal policy is but this advice should be taken for any dating site you are paying for.
Brad is a happily married man that found great success (and his wife!) using online dating. He now shares his thoughts and experiences, on this site and in his free online dating guide, to assist others in finding success. 
I don't think you can put a price on love, but sites can help in the search. Good luck to everyone.
This is great info. There are so many options out there and blogs like this make it easier to sort through when choosing an online dating site. I'm surprised to find out how expensive eHarmony can be, but to me, it seems like the most reputable online dating site. That auto-renewing is tricky though…
I have had several friends that have gone through these sites and although it sometimes takes awhile (2 of them actually found their wives on the last day of the subscription!!) it was very well worth it to them. I agree with Mike….it's hard to put a price on love and sometimes we need some help to find the right person.
Yeah, the cost of eHarmony can be high but I think it's all about the opportunity the service provides. I think if there were a dating service that cost $250 a month but guaranteed you would find that special person in those first 30 days, that it would be a very popular service. Obviously that service will never exist. My point is that people are willing to pay a higher cost for a better chance and I think in some ways that is what eHarmony provides.
and how does eharmony gurantee that you won't be bombarded with liars and cheaters? i caught my boyfriend subscribing to both eharmony and match.com – and he looks great on those profiles – who knows, may be one of you lucky ladies who pay to meet people like that will get him… good luck!
eHarmony makes no such guarantee (you'll find liars in any form of dating to be fair). However, people who lie in their profile photos will have very bad first dates as they are immediately exposed as a liar and will either learn to stop lying or they will continue to fail. I talk with lots of people about online dating every week (obviously) and people lying in their photos is not a major complaint I hear. I rarely ever hear that one.
Also, I hope you mean ex-boyfriend
I met my husband on eHarmony…we are truly a perfect match….I try to tell everyone that it’s not worth wasting time on Match.com (tried that first)… those services are way cheaper BUT you get a lot of window shoppers, or people looking for a date for the weekend…the people on eHarmony are paying a higher price & therefore are more serious about their commitment to the process……I met my husband in my first month, but he had been on there 7 months….it was definitely worth the money because we are truly happy!
Thanks for your thoughts Lori. My experience was rather similar to your husband’s: I was dating online actively for a year before I met my wife but I was her first date using the internet! I guess my wife would say that online dating *really* works well since she barely had to use it at all!
