Tinder said that it will no longer charge more for older users who use Tinder+. Earlier, a report said that in all countries except Brazil, Tinder users aged 30 to 49 charged an average of 65.3% more than young people.

Tinder’s age-based pricing allows users to get advanced functions such as unlimited praise, which has long been the source of controversy for this dating software. When it was launched, the company said it charged more for older users because young people were "on a limited budget". Since then, the dating software has suffered at least one class action lawsuit for this practice. Tinder says it plans to offer more optional features instead of a high-priced subscription that bundles multiple features. (source: cnbeta)
