Pricing snapshot
How much does SendBerly cost in 2026?
SendBerly is free to join and free to message. Premium plans run $19.99-$29.99/month depending on the billing cycle, with a 6-month plan averaging $19.99/month and the monthly plan at $29.99. No credit card is requested at signup - only an email, age, and location. Roughly 68% of active users stay on the free plan and never upgrade (SendBerly product report, May 2026). Upgrade only if you want profile boosts, read receipts, or "who viewed me" insights.
Here's the short version most pricing pages bury: the free SendBerly account already lets you send and receive unlimited messages, browse verified profiles, and use the smart match feed. Premium is a power-user upgrade, not a paywall to the basics. Below, we break down every line item - free vs paid - so you can make a 30-second decision before signing up.

Plan comparison
SendBerly Free vs Premium: full feature table
We mapped every feature we used in our 6-week editor test against each plan. The "Best Pick" column is what we'd recommend for most readers based on value, not commission.
| Feature | Free Plan | Premium Monthly | Premium 6-Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $0 | $29.99/mo | $19.99/mo ($119.94 total) |
| Credit card at signup | Not required | Required to upgrade | Required to upgrade |
| Send messages | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Receive messages | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Smart match feed | Daily | Daily + priority | Daily + priority |
| Profile verification badge | Included | Included | Included |
| "Who viewed me" | Last 3 viewers | Unlimited list | Unlimited list |
| Read receipts | No | Yes | Yes |
| Profile boost | No | 2 per month | 5 per month |
| Advanced filters | Basic only | Full set | Full set |
| Cancel anytime | N/A | Yes, in settings | Yes, in settings |
What does this mean in practice? If your goal is "have real conversations," the free plan covers it. If your goal is "get seen faster in a competitive metro like NYC or LA," Premium's profile boosts can move the needle. According to a 2025 Pew Research study on online dating behaviour, 42% of paid dating-app subscribers said boosts and visibility upgrades were the single feature they used most - making them the realistic upgrade trigger.

Should you upgrade?
Who should pay for SendBerly Premium?
Premium is worth it for a specific user - not everyone. The best SendBerly Premium subscriber is someone in a competitive U.S. metro (NYC, LA, Chicago, Miami) who has already messaged 20+ profiles on the free plan and wants more visibility. Here's the decision matrix we used during our test:
- Stay free if: you live in a mid-size U.S. city, you're not in a rush, you've matched within your first 2 weeks, or you only check the app a few times a week.
- Try Premium Monthly ($29.99) if: you want to test profile boosts and read receipts for one billing cycle before committing to a longer term.
- Pick the 6-Month plan ($19.99/mo) if: you're actively dating, live in a competitive metro, and want the lowest monthly rate without a 12-month lock-in.
Editor tip
Run the free plan for at least 14 days first. If you're getting 3+ replies a week without paying, Premium probably isn't worth it. If you're getting fewer than 1 reply per week and your photos are verified, that's the signal to test a boost.

Cancellation
How to cancel a SendBerly Premium subscription
Cancelling SendBerly Premium takes under 60 seconds and does not require a phone call. The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, and you keep Premium features until that date. Here are the exact steps from our editor test in June 2026:
Step-by-step cancellation walkthrough
- Log in to your SendBerly account on web or mobile browser.
- Click your profile photo in the top-right, then choose Settings.
- Open the Subscription tab.
- Click Cancel subscription and confirm.
- You'll receive an email confirmation within 5 minutes. Save it.
The bottom line: SendBerly doesn't make you jump through hoops to cancel. A 2025 FTC update on "click-to-cancel" rules required online subscriptions to offer cancellation in the same number of steps as signup - SendBerly's flow already meets that standard.
"The transparency on pricing is what sold me. I could see the $19.99 number before I created an account, and cancelling later took two clicks. That's rare in dating apps." - Marcus, 41 · Austin, TX (verified user review, March 2026)
SendBerly pricing FAQ
The pricing questions readers ask most often before they create an account.
Does SendBerly require a credit card?
No. SendBerly does not require a credit card to sign up, browse profiles, or send messages. A payment method is only requested if you choose to upgrade to a Premium plan ($19.99-$29.99 per month).
What can you do on SendBerly for free?
On the free plan you can create a verified profile, browse the full member database, receive daily smart-match suggestions, send and receive unlimited messages, see your last 3 profile viewers, and use all blocking and reporting safety tools.
How much does SendBerly Premium cost in 2026?
SendBerly Premium costs $29.99 per month on the monthly plan or $19.99 per month when billed every 6 months ($119.94 total). Pricing was last verified on the SendBerly checkout page in June 2026.
Is SendBerly free messaging really unlimited?
Yes. There is no daily or weekly cap on messages sent or received on the free plan. We tested by sending 40 messages in a single day during our editor review with no rate limit triggered.
Does SendBerly auto-renew the subscription?
Yes, Premium subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing cycle by default. You can disable auto-renewal in Settings → Subscription at any time without losing access until the cycle ends.
Can I get a refund on SendBerly Premium?
Standard policy does not include refunds for unused months. Cancel before the next billing date to avoid the next charge. For billing disputes, SendBerly support can be contacted through the in-app help center.
Is the 6-month plan worth it over monthly?
The 6-month plan saves $60 over six months ($19.99 vs $29.99 per month). It is worth it if you plan to actively date for at least 3 months. For shorter trials, the monthly plan offers more flexibility.
