Gary Kremen and Peng T. Ong founded Match.com in San Francisco in 1993. The website was initially known as Match.com, and the company that ran it was formerly known as Electric Classifieds Inc. Ong, who assisted in the design of the initial system, and Simon Glinsky, who co-wrote its business plan, developed product designs including matching criteria, services to LGBT communities, created business models and rollout marketing strategies, and made early hires, were both instrumental in Kremen’s early success. Fran Maier eventually became the company’s director of marketing. According to The Atlantic, Maier assisted in the implementation of Match.com’s business strategy, which included a subscription model and the inclusion of diverse communities such as women, technology professionals, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. Match.com launched as a free beta in early 1995 and was featured in Wired magazine the following year. After disagreements with venture capitalists, founder Kremen left the company in March 1996. Match.com was purchased by Cendant in 1997, and then sold to IAC in 1999. Match.com partnered with AOL and MSN in September 2001, with the hope that Love@AOL and MSN Dating and Personals would provide a more diverse audience with access to Match.com. Match.com’s then-CEO, Tim Sullivan, expanded Match.com into local dating with a service called MatchLive, where daters would meet in a public place for social activities and a type of speed dating. Sullivan was replaced as CEO in September 2004 by Jim Safka. In 2007, Thomas Enraght-Moony succeeded Safka as CEO. IAC formed Match Group in February 2009 to consolidate Match.com and other dating sites it owned. In February, it was also announced that Match.com’s European operations would be sold to Meetic for 5 million Euros and a reported 27% stake in the company. At the same time as the sale was announced, current CEO Thomas Enraght-Moony stepped down, and Greg Blatt, Executive VP and General Counsel at IAC (Match.com’s parent company), took his place. Match.com paid $80 million to American Capital in July 2009 to acquire People Media, which powered AOL Personals and operated BlackPeopleMeet.com and OurTime.com. The following year, Match.com purchased another dating site, SinglesNet. Greg Blatt, the CEO of Match.com, was named CEO of parent company IAC in December 2010. Match.com purchased OkCupid in 2012, and Sam Yagan, OkCupid’s co-founder and CEO, became CEO of Match Group. That same year, Match.com announced Stir, an events service that would offer local events for Match.com members to attend each month. Match.com launched an updated mobile app in April 2014 with a feature called “Stream,” which used location to match people based on photographs, similar to the mobile dating app Tinder. Customers have criticized the platform’s membership auto-billing method for its lack of transparency. Mandy Ginsberg took over as CEO of Match Group, the parent company of Match.com, in 2017. Shar Dubey took over as CEO of Match Group in 2020, succeeding Ginsberg. Stir, a dating app for single parents, was launched by Match Group in 2022. The Match Group announced in April 2022 that Shar Dubey would step down as CEO while remaining on the board of directors. Bernard Kim, the former president of online video game service Zynga, was named CEO on May 31, 2022. Match offers a variety of plans starting at $11.99 per month. There are numerous term lengths and price ranges to choose from. Let’s take a look at some of these plans and what they have to offer. The most important thing to remember before purchasing a Match plan is that there are two types: Standard Match Plans and Premium Match Plans with a few extra bells and whistles.

The Premium Match Plans are for the single who wants to get results. At $13.99 per month, the 12-month plan is the best deal of all! The other plans are also very affordable: the 6-month plan costs $17.99 per month, and the 3-month plan costs $26.99 per month.
