AppHunt has no promo code for Hinge, but we have one for a free helper that works alongside it.
Free helper for Hinge: Flirta
Hinge's free version caps daily likes, and seeing everyone who liked you takes Hinge+ or HingeX. Flirta is not a dating app and does not replace Hinge: it drafts openers and replies for your Hinge chats in a tone you choose. With the AppHunt promo code you get the full version of Flirta for free, for good.
Yes: Hinge says the regular version is free, and you can match and chat without paying. Free accounts can send only a limited number of likes a day (Hinge gives no figure; reviewers say five to ten), get to see only one incoming like at once, and have one Undo Skip and one Rose a week. Hinge+ and HingeX, Hinge's premium plans, are listed in the US App Store at $14.99 to $34.99, with Roses from $9.99 and Boosts at $9.99 and $19.99; these are US App Store prices on October 30, 2026, and they may change.
Is Hinge free?
Hinge's help center says the regular version of the app is offered at no cost, and matching and messaging need no purchase. It also spells out what the free version holds back: a limited number of likes a day (Hinge's wording is "a select number", and reviewers in October 2026 put it at roughly five to ten), one incoming like shown at once, one Undo Skip a week and one free Rose a week that does not carry over. Free members can still sort the people who liked them by Your Type or Recent and filter by age. The paid plans lift those limits and add filters such as height, education and politics. A few reviewers say that undoing a skip used to be free and now needs a subscription beyond the weekly one.
How much does Hinge cost?
Hinge describes Hinge+ and HingeX as its premium subscriptions, so "Hinge Premium" means one of the two. Hinge+ gives unlimited likes, a view of everyone who liked you at once, unlimited undo skips and extra filters. HingeX includes all of that and adds enhanced recommendations (Hinge calls it See Compatible People Sooner), a light always-on boost called Get Seen by More Daters, and Priority Likes, which stay near the top of the other person's incoming likes for a week and look like ordinary likes. Plans run weekly, monthly, every three months or every six months, and on iPhone you can pay through the App Store or through Hinge's own checkout (powered by Stripe, US only). Hinge's terms say it often offers promotional rates that differ by region, plan length, past purchases and account activity. The US App Store lists three "Hinge Subscription" prices ($14.99, $29.99 and $34.99), two "Hinge+ Subscription" prices ($16.99 and $19.99) and a "Membership" at $19.99, without saying which price is which plan or length. Roses (three for $9.99, twelve for $29.99) and Boosts ($9.99 and $19.99) are sold separately, and Hinge says they are final sales. The page shows ten purchases at a time, so treat the list as a sample. These are US App Store prices on October 30, 2026, and they may change.

Flirta with Hinge: what it adds
Flirta is not a dating app, so it doesn't replace Hinge or find anyone for you to talk to; it helps with the wording of chats you already have there. Give it the text of the conversation or a screenshot, explain the point you want to make, choose a tone from subtle to bold, and it proposes an opener or a reply for you to edit and send yourself. It can also give several first lines at once, tighten a draft of your own and suggest date ideas. Hinge has its own Convo Starters, which Hinge says are meant to inspire you rather than write the message; Flirta writes full drafts and carries on through the rest of the chat. Flirta is free to download; its listing shows paid plans at $6.99 a month or $39.99 a year in the US App Store without saying what the free version includes, and AppHunt has a promo code that unlocks the full version. It can't change who Hinge shows you, unlock Hinge+ or HingeX features, tell you whether a profile is genuine or send anything for you. It is also a small app: 51 ratings on the US App Store as of October 30, 2026, an English-only listing and its latest update on November 3, 2025.

About Hinge
Hinge, from Hinge, Inc., is a dating app with 1,135,609 ratings averaging 4.4 in the US App Store. A profile is built from photos, written prompts, voice and video, and a chat starts when someone likes or comments on one particular photo or answer. In some regions Hinge also shows Convo Starters, short ideas for a first message drawn from the prompts and photos you like. It runs on iPhone with iOS 17.0 or later and on Android, and version 10.10.1 came out on October 29, 2026. It suits people who prefer fewer, more detailed profiles and like to open with a comment on something specific.

Hinge: questions and answers
Is Hinge free?
Yes. Hinge says the regular version is free, and you can match and chat without paying. The free version has limits: a daily cap on likes, one incoming like visible at a time, and one Undo Skip and one Rose a week. Hinge+ and HingeX lift those limits and add extras, and Hinge sells Roses and Boosts separately.
How much does Hinge cost?
Hinge doesn't publish one price. People often search for Hinge Premium, but its paid plans are Hinge+ and HingeX, sold weekly, monthly, every three months and every six months. The US App Store lists "Hinge Subscription" at $14.99, $29.99 and $34.99, "Hinge+ Subscription" at $16.99 and $19.99 and a "Membership" at $19.99, without saying which price is which plan or length. Three Roses cost $9.99, twelve cost $29.99, and Boosts are $9.99 and $19.99. US prices on October 30, 2026; they may change.
Is there a Hinge promo code?
AppHunt has no promo code for Hinge, and Hinge's help center doesn't mention any. Hinge's terms say it often offers promotional rates, and its help center adds that the discounts you see can depend on whether you use other Match Group apps. If your goal is better wording in chats rather than a cheaper plan, AppHunt has a promo code that unlocks the full version of Flirta, a writing helper (apphunt.app/app/flirta-ai-dating-assistant). It changes nothing in your Hinge account.
Does Hinge have a free trial?
Hinge doesn't advertise a free trial of Hinge+ or HingeX: none appears in the US App Store listing, the help center or the terms. You can use the free version to see how the app works before you pay. The terms add that a discounted promotional offer can cost more once its first period ends, so check the renewal price before you confirm.
How do I cancel Hinge+ or HingeX?
If you subscribed through the App Store, open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, pick Hinge and cancel, no later than a day before it renews. If you paid through Hinge's own checkout (powered by Stripe), tap the gear icon in the app and choose Cancel Subscription. Deleting the app cancels nothing, and deleting your account ends a Stripe plan at once and forfeits the time left. Apple handles refunds for App Store purchases, and Hinge treats Roses and Boosts as final.
Does Flirta work with Hinge?
Flirta is not connected to Hinge, and it is not an alternative to it. It is a separate AI writing app and an AppHunt partner app. Copy a Hinge message or paste a screenshot of the chat into Flirta, tell it what you want to say and pick a tone, and it suggests a reply or an opener. You paste it back into Hinge, reword it until it fits your voice and send it yourself. Flirta can't see your Hinge account, show you profiles or unlock Hinge+ features, and its drafts are only a starting point. Its App Store privacy label lists photos or videos among the data it collects for app functionality, so leave out anything sensitive when you share a screenshot. AppHunt has a promo code that unlocks Flirta's full version.
What do reviews of the Hinge app say?
Hinge has 1,135,609 ratings averaging 4.4 in the US App Store. Among the 500 most recent written US reviews, from October 9 to 28, 2026, 228 give five stars and 177 give one. Happy reviewers describe meeting partners and spouses. The complaints are the free limits (reviewers put the daily like cap at roughly five to ten), undoing a skip, and accounts banned without an explanation, including by people who say they had just paid for a subscription.
Is there a free Hinge alternative?
Flirta is not one, because it doesn't match you with anyone. For a Hinge alternative, meaning a different dating app, our top-ten list of free dating apps for iPhone compares Bumble, Tinder, Plenty of Fish, BLK, Chispa, Hily, OkCupid and others; they are free to download and sell optional upgrades.
