Most matchmaking services will not tell you what they charge until you get on a call with someone. Here is our number, on our own page, before you give us anything.
$0
During our launch period there is no charge at all. Join, verify, answer the questionnaire, get matched by a real matchmaker, accept an introduction, and message. No card required.
After launch
$599
Paid once, per person, and it covers 12 months of introductions rather than a single one. A connection only opens once you have both accepted, and the fee is fully refundable right up until it does.
Subscription
None
Nothing monthly, nothing annual, nothing that renews. You are not billed to stay on the roster or to keep receiving introductions.
The fee is per person, and we would rather say so plainly. Each side of a connection owes $599, though one person may choose to cover both. A connection is two people, so a couple who meet through NexSpark pay $1,198 between them, once.
It is not a fee per introduction. It is paid once, and if the first match does not work out we keep searching for 12 months at no additional cost.
These are the going rates in the industry, not a promise about any particular competitor. Prices change and most firms quote by phone.
| Option | Typical cost | Shape of the charge |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional matchmaker | $5,000 to $25,000 | Per year, paid up front, before you meet anyone |
| Premium matchmaking firms | $25,000 and up | Per year, quoted on a call |
| Dating app subscription | around $500 | Per year, for as long as you keep searching |
| NexSpark | $599 | Once, per person, refundable until the connection opens |
Per person. Each side owes the fee, though one person may choose to cover both.
The fee is settled against a specific introduction, and a connection does not open until both of you have accepted and the fee is paid. Those two steps can happen in either order. If the connection never opens, for any reason, the fee is refunded in full.
We are early, and the honest reason is that we would rather build the roster than bill it. Founding members keep free access for the whole launch period. When the fee starts applying we will say so clearly and in advance.
Tell us and we stop. There is nothing to cancel, because there is nothing recurring.
The terms that govern the fee are in our Terms of Service. If something has gone wrong, write to hello@nexspark.com and a real person will read it.
The quiz takes a few minutes, needs no account, and shows you your compatibility archetype straight away.
