• How Much Does It Cost To Join A Dating Agency?

    Joining a dating agency can vary dramatically in costs between companies but is usually a little more expensive than joining an online dating site, this is due to a dating agency assigning you your very own personal matchmaker who will do almost everything for you, saving you lots of work.

    Why Pay For A Dating Agency?

    There are major differences between using a dating agency as opposed to online dating or a dating app. Online dating apps are much more of a ‘do it yourself’ type of service, whereby you use their software to create a dating profile for yourself and then use it to try to find others. Whilst a dating agency or personal matchmaking agency would usually provide an expert to do that job for you – your personal matchmaker.

    So whatever task that needs to be done, in the search for hopefully a wonderful new partner, the major differential is that you would do it with an online dating service or dating app, whereas your own matchmaker would do that for you. Here are some examples of how things work, what is included in each service and who does what:

    Task: Becoming a member Dating App: You. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker.
    Task: Getting help or advice Dating App: Online only via Google search. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker is available to you by telephone and email.
    Task: Completing screening questionnaire Dating App: You. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker.
    Task: Creating your dating profile Dating App: Online only via Google search. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker is available to you by telephone and email.
    Task: Getting help or advice Dating App: You. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker.
    Task: Approving your dating profile Dating App: The app will approve your profile. Dating Agency: You approve the profile written by your personal matchmaker.
    Task: Searching for matches / potential dates Dating App: You. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker.
    Task: Finding people matching your preferences Dating App: You. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker.
    Task: Approaching someone you like Dating App: You. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker.
    Task: Finding people matching your preferences Dating App: You. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker.
    Task: Messaging & building rapport Dating App: You. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker.
    Task: Asking someone to meet you on a date Dating App: You. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker.
    Task: Arranging to meet on a date Dating App: You. Dating Agency: You with help from your personal matchmaker.
    Task: Encouraging a second date Dating App: You. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker.
    Task: Going into relationship search again Dating App: You. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker.
    Task: Repeating everything over Dating App: You. Dating Agency: Your personal matchmaker.

    You can probably begin to understand that there are vastly different levels of service between using an online dating app versus using a dating agency service. It is easy to see why the personal service provided by a dating agency would cost more – as there is so much more included and involved with the help from your very own personal matchmaker to aid you in creating your dating profile, searching for matches, arranging dates and much more.

    So the question has to be 'How much more does a dating cost?'

    In other words "is it affordable?" and yes it is, with an online dating site typically costing between £15 and £95 monthly, so an annual cost of between £180 and £1140 to join an online dating site where you are responsible for all the work required to find matches and arrange dates, whereas using a dating agency service it would be around £1,000 per annum as a minimum and at the top end to join a very high brow service in London, it might be anything up to £100,000 per annum for their most exclusive service, but more typically maybe £2,000 up to £20,000.

    The difference in cost is simple a dating agency will typically cost anywhere from £1000 to £20,000 per year depending on the needs from the service. A dating site will cost anywhere from £180 to £1000+ per year, but remember you are required to do all the work yourself which could take hundreds of hours to find your perfect match.

    Why Pay More For A Dating Agency?

    As most people know, you often get what you pay for in life, so joining a dating agency at a higher and more exclusive level will likely deliver far higher quality potential matches to you. There is some extraordinary value in using a dating agency like Avenues if you look for it and I am very proud to say that Avenues is one of the best examples if you are looking for value.

    The Avenues Dating agency service is exclusive to people aged over 50 and memberships start from just £1,195 for a 9 month Silver membership (just £133 per month for a full dating agency service), with a full year on our Gold package becoming available, with an extra 3 months of ‘on hold’, for only £1,895 and our top package, which is Diamond being offered for £2,995, for a year with a very generous 6 months of ‘on hold’, to enable you to pause and properly evaluate each date.
