AppHunt has no promo code for Bumble, but we have one for a free helper that works alongside it.
Free helper for Bumble: Flirta
Bumble is free to use, with Boost, Premium and Premium+ selling extras such as seeing who already liked you. Flirta, an AppHunt partner app, is not a dating app and doesn't replace Bumble: it drafts the opening message Bumble now asks both matches to send, and later replies, which you edit and send yourself. With the AppHunt promo code you get the full version of Flirta for free, for good.
Yes: Bumble costs nothing to download and use, and Bumble says the app works well without paying. Bumble Boost, Premium and Premium+ are optional subscriptions, and SuperSwipes, Spotlights and Notes are sold on their own. The US App Store lists Bumble Premium at $17.99, $19.99 and $32.99 and Bumble Boost at prices from $2.99 to $12.99, with no Premium+ item or billing periods, and Bumble says costs vary by tier, plan length and pack size; these are US App Store prices on October 30, 2026, and they may change.
Is Bumble free?
Bumble's help center says paid features are optional and that the app works without them. A free account can set filters for age, distance, verified profiles, languages and shared interests (plus an ethnicity preference in the US and Canada), match, and message: under Bumble's current flow, both people in a match send one opening message within 72 hours, and then the chat opens. Bumble doesn't say how many likes a free account gets; Boost is sold as unlimited likes, and reviewers name limits of roughly 5 to 20 likes a day. Seeing everyone who already liked you, advanced filters, Incognito mode and Travel mode need Premium. Many US reviewers in October 2026 complain that the free version limits likes and hides who liked them.
How much does Bumble cost?
Bumble Boost gives unlimited likes, five SuperSwipes and one Spotlight a week, 72 extra hours to start a conversation, rematching with expired matches and unlimited Backtrack. Premium adds a list of everyone who liked you, advanced filters, Incognito mode and Travel mode. Premium+ adds photo insights, faster delivery of your likes and priority in people's feeds, plus two Notes, ten SuperSwipes and two Spotlights a week. SuperSwipes, Spotlights and Notes can also be bought on their own. The US App Store lists Bumble Premium at $17.99, $19.99 and $32.99, Bumble Boost at $2.99, $7.99, $8.99, $9.99, $10.99 and $12.99, and a BumbleCoins pack at $1.99; it has no Premium+ item and doesn't state billing periods. Bumble says costs vary by tier, duration and pack size, that longer plans and bigger packs are better value, and that it can't sell paid features in some countries. US reviewers in October 2026 quote anything from $7.99 a week to $150 a month. These are US App Store prices on October 30, 2026, and they may change.

Flirta with Bumble: what it adds
Flirta, an AppHunt partner app, is not a dating app and doesn't replace Bumble: it has no profiles, swiping or matches. Bumble now asks both people in a match to send an opening message within 72 hours and nudges you away from a bare 'hi' or 'hey', which is the moment Flirta is built for. Share a screenshot of the chat or paste a message, tell it a little about the other person, choose a tone, and it suggests a reply or several openers; you pick one, edit it and send it yourself in Bumble. It can also sharpen a draft you wrote and gives short lessons on timing and respect. Flirta is a free download whose listing sells Premium at $6.99 a month or $39.99 a year in the US without saying what stays free; AppHunt has a promo code that unlocks its paid version. It can't unlock Bumble's Liked You list or extra likes, read your chats or send for you, it is built for iPhone (iOS 13 or later), and it has 51 ratings. Its privacy label lists user content among the data it collects, so keep private details out of what you paste.

About Bumble
Bumble, from Bumble Holding Limited, has 1,769,313 ratings averaging 4.3 in the US App Store and has been there since November 2014. Bumble calls itself a women-first dating app, though its help center now describes a flow in which both people send an opening message within 72 hours; ID verification, Share Date and a Snooze Mode are among its features. The app needs iOS 17.0 or newer, and version 5.485.0 came out on October 26, 2026. Of the 250 most recent US reviews, posted October 1 to 28, 2026, 174 give one star; the most frequent themes are paying for likes and features, then customer support, fake or bot-looking profiles and trouble canceling or getting a refund. It suits people who want a dating app with a set first-message routine.

Bumble: questions and answers
Is Bumble free?
Yes. Bumble costs nothing to download, and its help center says the paid features are optional and that Bumble works without them. You can match and chat for free; seeing who already liked you, advanced filters, Incognito and Travel mode need Premium, and unlimited likes come with Boost.
How much does Bumble cost?
The Bumble price depends on the tier, plan length and pack size, according to Bumble, which shows the current prices on the Pay plan page in the app. The US App Store lists Bumble Premium at $17.99, $19.99 and $32.99 and Bumble Boost from $2.99 to $12.99, with no billing periods or Premium+ item; reviewers quote $7.99 a week up to $150 a month. US prices on October 30, 2026; they may change.
Is there a Bumble promo code?
AppHunt has no promo code for Bumble, and Bumble's help center says there is currently no way to redeem promo codes. It does put out promotions now and then, shown as banners in the app and on the Pay plan page. If chat openers are the sticking point, AppHunt has a promo code that unlocks the paid version of Flirta; the card on this page shows its terms.
Does Bumble have a free trial?
Bumble's help center describes no free trial. It mentions only promotions that appear now and then in the app, so check the price and renewal terms of any offer before you confirm. Subscriptions renew on their own unless you cancel at least a day before renewal.
What does Bumble Premium include?
Premium includes everything in Boost (unlimited likes, five SuperSwipes and a Spotlight a week, 72 extra hours on matches, rematching expired matches, unlimited Backtrack) plus the Liked You list, advanced filters, Incognito mode and Travel mode. Premium+ adds photo insights, faster delivery of your likes and daily priority in feeds, with two Notes, ten SuperSwipes and two Spotlights a week.
How do I cancel Bumble Premium?
If you subscribed through the App Store, open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose Bumble and tap Cancel Subscription; you keep your perks until the paid period ends. If you paid Bumble directly by card, PayPal or Apple Pay, go to Profile, then Subscription details, then Manage your subscription. Deleting your account doesn't cancel an App Store subscription, and Apple decides refunds for App Store payments.
Does Flirta work with Bumble?
Yes, in the sense that it works with any chat: Flirta isn't connected to Bumble or any other dating app. You give it a screenshot of the chat or paste your match's message, choose a tone, and copy a suggested reply or opener back into Bumble yourself. That fits Bumble's opening-message step, where both people write once within 72 hours. Flirta can't unlock Bumble features. It is free to download, and AppHunt has a promo code that unlocks its paid version.
Is there a Bumble alternative?
Flirta isn't one: it is a writing helper, not a place to meet people. If you want a different dating app, AppHunt's list of the 10 best free dating apps compares Bumble with Tinder, Plenty of Fish, Hinge, OkCupid and others, and each can be used without paying.
