What Is OkCupid Boost?

An OkCupid Boost shows your profile at the top of special blend searches, on quick match, and in activity feeds. So, in essence, your profile is seen by a lot of users in a short amount of time.

Boosts usually last for 15 minutes but OkCupid extends them if you don’t reach a certain number of impressions in that time (currently 1,000).

You can buy a Boost individually or buy in bulk for a discount.

There are two membership types; A-List Basic and A-List Premium. 1 month: $7.95 pm. 3 months: $6.35 pm. 6 months: $3.95 pm. With A-List Basic, you can see who likes you, get access to advanced search filters, get a receipt when someone reads your message and browse the site ad-free. 1 month: $24.90 pm. 3 months: $22.90 pm. The app is filled with free features ranging from likes to standard search filters and communication methods. However, OKCupid does offer a selection of paid features. Here are a few of our favorites: Incognito Mode. Incognito Mode is one of OKCupid’s paid subscriptions. Those who purchase this form of profile get the following benefits: No ads.

Unlike the daily Boosts that come with an OkCupid A-List subscription, you can choose the timing of a separately-purchased Boost. The clock starts right after you purchase.

Can Anyone See I’m Using OkCupid Boost?

Nope. OkCupid doesn’t label profiles using Boost.

Free Online Dating. Well, this isn’t good. That page doesn’t exist. Here are some suggestions to get the most out of your subscription. You can turn Incognito Mode on and off as you'd like during your subscription period. If you'd like to get a bit more attention for a while, you can disable Incognito Mode as often as you'd like - and then turn it on again when you're ready for a bit more privacy, or to focus. Reddit has examples of OkCupid users paying below $5/month, though that’s not typical. Some sample prices in the ballpark of what you can expect: Basic A-List: $19.95/month for 1 month. $14.95/month for 3 months. $9.95/month for 6 months. Premium A-List: $34.90/month per 1 month. $29.90/month per 3 months.

How Much Does a Boost Cost?

For now the set price of a single OkCupid Boost is .99 cents via the mobile app or $2.00 via the website.

How Can I Get the Most Out of an OkCupid Boost?

To make your Boost impressions go farther, optionally consider doing the following during your Boost. (This is best done on a computer rather than a phone.)

• Turn anonymous browsing off and visitors on.

• As profile thumbnails pop up, open the attractive ones in new tabs.

• Also search for Last Online and open the attractive ones in new tabs.

The idea here is: if you show up as having viewed their profile, they’ll view yours back — further increasing the amount of attention you’re getting in that short time.

When your Boost ends, read through the profiles and message/like the users you’re into to get the ball rolling.

Can You Go Incognito On Okcupid

When Is the Best Time to Use an OkCupid Boost?

Short answer: Sundays at 9pm

According to a study of mobile app behavior by Nielson, OkCupid is busiest on Sunday. Between 9pm and 10pm is OkCupid’s most popular hour.

Activity is lowest between 2am and 5am. Users start engaging around 5pm. Activity goes up and up through the evening until 10pm, when activity falls off again.

Long answer: When your profile is good enough that you won’t be wasting the opportunity

When you use a Boost, a lot of users are seeing your profile. But it still really depends on the quality of your profile as to how many messages or dates you’ll get from it.

With a bad profile, there’s the sad possibility that you’ll just get rejected more and faster.

Look: Being considered highly attractive on dating sites/apps isn’t just for Brad Pitt or jacked guys named “Chad.” You just have to know what kind of pics sell you well. And the vast majority of your competition is failing at this. Turns out, most people use pics that don’t do them justice at all, and they lose attention immediately.

How To Go Incognito On Okcupid

Oh hey, you've upgraded to Incognito! Here are some suggestions to get the most out of your subscription.

Okcupid Incognito Mode Price Guide

You can turn Incognito Mode on and off as you'd like during your subscription period
If you'd like to get a bit more attention for a while, you can disable Incognito Mode as often as you'd like -- and then turn it on again when you're ready for a bit more privacy, or to focus on the conversations you already have going.
You can unmatch anyone you'd prefer not to see your profile anymore
When your Incognito Mode is active, only people you've Liked or messaged will be able to see your profile. If at any point you'd like to revoke someone's access to your profile, unmatch or block them, and they won't be able to see your profile. It will also remove your conversation from view, for both of you.
Remember, two people who are Incognito at the same time will never see each other
So if you're looking for more matches, there's a possibility there are other people out there who are Incognito too! If you're interested in potentially being seen by them, consider turning Incognito Mode off for a bit every once in a while.
If you want to stay Incognito, please make sure your payment information is up to date!
If subscription renewal payments fail, and your account is active, your Incognito Mode may turn off when you're not ready for it to do so -- make sure your payment information is kept up to date so your profile stays as private as you'd like it to be.
Enjoy the ad-free life
Hear that? It's the sweet sound of no advertising. Enjoy using OkCupid with no interruptions.
