Old F-Buddy Prices: Pick the Plan That Suits You
VIP or VIP Plus, for a week or a whole year, with the weekly price of every plan so the best value is easy to spot.
Know exactly what you'll pay
Classic membership, where everyone starts, carries no charge. VIP starts at £18.49 for a week, and the longer the plan, the less it costs per week.
As a Classic member you can build your profile, add photos, browse, get daily matches, post updates and take part in polls. You can send a set number of messages a day, and you can always read and reply to a message from a VIP or VIP Plus member. When you want to talk to more people, VIP lifts the limit.
Weekly, monthly, three-month and six-month plans renew until you cancel. The 12-month plans are one payment and do not renew. Every figure on this page is in pounds sterling.
VIP: talk to as many people as you like
VIP removes the daily message limit and adds the advanced search filters (city, distance and what people are open to), members-only chat rooms, private group chats, rewind and a view of everyone who likes you.
