Membership

Membership: free and Premium, explained honestly

How the free and paid tiers typically differ, what the account journey looks like, and what to check before paying — without prices we cannot keep accurate.

Free vs Premium: the usual differences

Two tiers, and a decision that turns on one question: is messaging what you actually want here? The table further down sets out the detail.

Free

Everything you need to look around

Registration is free, and a free account can create a profile and browse, so you can see who is out there and be seen yourself before you spend anything.

Create a profile
Browse and search with standard filters
Community areas, generally accessible

No price on this card, because creating an account is free. Confirm the current terms on the PositiveSingles website.

Premium

Expanded contact and visibility

Premium is where fuller messaging lives, and usually where the more detailed search filters and the extra photo and visibility options are. It expands the ways you can make contact and be seen.

Fuller messaging access
Often more detailed search filters
Core privacy controls, sometimes with extras

No price on this card. Prices are set by the external service and change, and we deliberately do not publish figures we cannot keep accurate — check their site before paying.

How membership works, in general terms

PositiveSingles, like most established dating platforms, runs on a free-plus-Premium model. This page explains the typical shape of each tier so you know what to expect — but features and prices are set by the external service and change from time to time, so treat their website as the source of truth for current details. We deliberately do not publish exact prices here, because we cannot keep them reliably up to date.

Registering, building a profile, browsing, messaging and the privacy tools that sit alongside them — the whole sequence is set out step by step on our how it works page.

Questions to ask before paying

Does the paid tier unlock the specific feature I actually want (usually messaging)?
Is the subscription auto-renewing, and how do I cancel?
Can I try the free tier long enough to see whether there are active members in my part of New Zealand?

Billing and account help

Because registration and payment happen on the external service, this website cannot help with billing, passwords, cancellations or account issues — those must go through PositiveSingles' own support channels. See our contact page for what we can and cannot assist with.
