Frequently asked questions
New to Plus? Curious about private dating? Here are answers to the questions we hear most, from pricing and safety to how the platform actually works.
Getting Started
Plus is a private dating platform designed for successful individuals and the attractive, ambitious people they want to meet. Think of it as dating with clear expectations — both parties are upfront about what they're looking for, whether that's mentorship, a travel companion, or a long-term relationship. We're a modern, affordable alternative to other premium dating apps (now called Seeking).
Plus was built from scratch for a post-Seeking world. We offer real photo verification, modern design, fair pricing (Free tier available for everyone), privacy controls, travel mode, and an interface that doesn't feel like it was designed in 2014. No fake profiles, no aggressive paywalls, no reputation problem.
Yes. Upfront dating is legal. It involves two consenting adults who choose to date with clear, mutually agreed-upon expectations. Plus explicitly prohibits any form of escort services or transactional exchanges for physical intimacy. Our platform is designed for genuine relationships with defined expectations, not transactions.
Creating a profile takes about two minutes. Sign up with your email, choose whether you're joining as an established member or a Plus member, add your photos, write a brief bio, and define your dating preferences. You can start browsing immediately after signing up.
Established members are established professionals who are looking to meet attractive, ambitious people. They typically offer financial warmth, mentorship, or lifestyle experiences. Plus members are the compelling individuals they want to meet — people who bring beauty, ambition, personality, and presence to the relationship. Both sides bring value; the labels simply define the dynamic.
Membership & Pricing
Plus is free for everyone right now — not a limited tier, the whole thing. Profile creation, browsing, likes, matching, unlimited messaging, seeing who liked you and the privacy controls are all unlocked, with no card required. Paid plans are planned for later, and Plus ($49.99/mo) would unlocks unlimited messaging, verified badge, and privacy features. Plus+ ($99.99/mo) adds priority placement, travel mode, read receipts, profile boost, and unlimited likes.
Nothing right now — every feature is free while we build the member base in Houston and Miami. The planned price is $49.99 per month (or $499/year), which would include unlimited messaging, the ability to see who liked your profile, a verified badge, hide from search, and photo blurring for non-matches. Plus+ is $99.99 per month (or $999/year) and adds priority placement in the discover feed, travel mode, read receipts, profile boost, and unlimited likes.
Yes, you can cancel anytime from your account settings. Your premium features will remain active through the end of your current billing period. There are no cancellation fees or penalties.
Safety & Privacy
Safety is foundational to Plus. Every member can undergo photo verification to confirm they are who they say they are. Established members can complete optional income verification. We provide block and report tools, the ability to hide your profile from search, invisible browsing mode, and a dedicated trust and safety team that reviews reports promptly.
Photo verification requires you to take a live selfie that matches your profile photos using AI-powered facial recognition. Income verification allows established members to verify their earnings through secure document upload — tax returns, pay stubs, or bank statements processed by a third-party verification partner. Verified members earn a badge on their profile.
Yes. Plus offers multiple privacy controls: you can hide your profile from search results so only people you message can see you, enable invisible browsing mode to view profiles without leaving a trace, and control which photos are visible to whom. Your discretion is non-negotiable.
Every profile has a report button. You can report members for fake profiles, harassment, inappropriate behavior, or any terms-of-service violation. Our trust and safety team reviews every report and takes action within 24 hours. You can also block any member instantly.
You can delete your account from your account settings at any time. Account deletion is permanent — all your data, messages, and profile information will be removed from our servers within 30 days in compliance with privacy regulations.
Features
Travel Mode lets you set your location to any city before you arrive. Planning a trip to Miami? Turn on Travel Mode and start connecting with members there days or weeks in advance. It's available to Plus+ members.
When you create your profile, you can specify what kind of connection you're looking for: mentorship, travel companion, long-term relationship, or open to anything. This helps you find people who want the same thing — no guessing games.
Everyone gets unlimited messaging right now, free. (The planned paid tier, later, is $49.99/mo.) There's no matching requirement — if someone catches your eye, reach out directly.
Profile boosts are a Plus+ feature that places your profile at the top of search results and the discovery feed for a period of time. This dramatically increases your visibility and the number of profile views and messages you receive.
Plus is a mobile-first web application that works beautifully on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop. You can add it to your home screen for an app-like experience with push notifications, smooth animations, and offline caching. Our progressive web app approach means we're never at risk of being removed from an app store, and we can ship updates instantly without waiting for app review approval.
Private Dating Basics
Private dating is a form of dating where both parties are upfront about what they bring to the relationship and what they expect in return. Established members — typically established professionals with significant income — connect with Plus members who offer companionship, charm, and genuine connection. The expectations are discussed openly from the start, eliminating the ambiguity and game-playing that defines traditional dating apps.
The key difference is transparency. In traditional dating, financial dynamics exist but are rarely discussed openly — someone picks up the check, someone drives the nicer car, someone pays for the vacation. In upfront dating, these dynamics are acknowledged and agreed upon from the start. Both parties know what to expect before the first date, which saves time and prevents mismatched expectations. The relationship itself can be anything from casual companionship to a long-term partnership.
Private dating carries the same safety considerations as any form of dating. Using a verified platform like Plus significantly reduces risk: photo verification prevents catfishing, income verification confirms financial claims are real, and moderation catches scam patterns. Beyond the platform, standard dating safety applies — meet in public first, tell a friend where you're going, arrange your own transportation, and never send money to someone you haven't met in person.
The best profiles are specific and honest. Instead of vague statements like 'I enjoy the finer things,' describe what you actually enjoy — 'I spend my weekends at gallery openings and my mornings at the farmers market.' Include what you're looking for (mentorship, travel companion, regular dates), what you bring to the table, and what your lifestyle looks like. Use recent, high-quality photos that show your face clearly. Verified profiles with complete information get significantly more messages than incomplete ones.
