Tinder Plus, the dating app’s premium service, is launching today and will charge its older members far more than its younger ones.
The service will cost £3.99 for users under 28. But it will cost £14.99 a month for those over 28.

It will also mean that users won’t be served ads. At the moment, there is no advertising on the site, but the company is set to roll them out soon. In a report over the weekend, Techcrunch said that ads will roll out in March.
