Plenty of Fish, also known as Plentyoffish Media ULC POF, PLENTYOFFISH, PLENTY OF FISH, and PLENTY OF, is a Canadian online dating service, popular primarily in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Brazil, and the United States. It was founded in 2003 by Markus Frind and is headquartered at 555 Hastings St W Unit 2525 Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 1M1 Canada. Markus Frind operated Plenty of Fish by himself until 2008 when he began hiring employees. It is available in nine languages. Plenty of Fish generates revenue through advertising and premium memberships. While it is free to use, Plenty of Fish offers premium services as part of their upgraded membership, such as allowing users to see who has “liked” a member through the service’s MeetMe feature and whether a message has been read and/or deleted. In 2009, Plenty of Fish launched a contest with Lady Gaga allowing single members to go together and meet the singer during The Fame Ball Tour. The website for Plenty of Fish appeared in several music videos in 2010: in Lady Gaga’s “Telephone”, Natasha Bedingfield’s “Touch”, Ke$ha’s “We R Who We R”, Flo Rida and Akon’s “Available”, Jason Derulo’s “Ridin’ Solo”, and 3OH!3’s “Double Vision”. In 2011, it appeared in Britney Spears’s music video for “Hold It Against Me”. In 2010, Plenty of Fish launched mobile apps for iPhone and Android. A few years later, it was made available for both iPad and Windows phones. In a June 2014 interview, Frind attributed 85% of all Plenty of Fish traffic to mobile with the number growing weekly. On July 14, 2015, Plenty of Fish was sold for $575 million to Match Group (owner of Match.com, OkCupid, Tinder, and Hinge, based in Dallas, Texas). The headquarters remain in Vancouver and have recently been expanded. In March 2020, Plenty of Fish (now owned by Match Group) launched a Livestream feature after a partnership to interact with users from other apps MeetMe and Skout (both owned by The Meet Group) and Zoosk (owned by Spark Networks SE).
Plenty of Fish offers free membership and a paid premium membership. The free membership allows users to download the app and make an account, send messages, see matches, create a favorites list, see who’s online, take the compatibility predictor quiz, send voice messages, comment in forums, and see who’s nearby. Plenty offers token purchases. This is a way for users to buy only a few tokens that can be redeemed for temporary benefits. Tokens are currently available for $1.99 (1 token), $8.95 (5 tokens), and $16.90 (10 tokens). The premium membership is available for subscription terms of 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. The 3-month membership is $20.00 per month, billed as $59.99. The 6-month membership is $15.00 per month, billed as $89.99. The 12-month membership is $10.00 per month, billed as $119.99. The premium membership allows users to download the app and make an account, send messages, see matches, create a favorites list, see who’s online, take the compatibility predictor quiz, send voice messages, comment in forums, see who’s nearby, get on top of the “Meet Me” list, get read receipts, view extended profiles, no more ads, see who has saved your profile, see an increase in search results (not guaranteed but common), stand out in search results with a premium badge, and send gifts to matches. Plenty of Fish accepts payment types to purchase tokens or pay for premium membership such as all major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, iTunes subscription, Google Pay, and Google Play.
Gifts are essentially a super like that you can send to streaming users. They can also be sent to you if you stream on Plenty of Fish. These gifts can be cashed in by the user for real money. Not only can gifts gain attention from a streamer, but they are a great way to support those who offer live streams and content you enjoy on Plenty of Fish. When you have a premium account on Plenty of Fish you get a special badge that reflects that in the search results. You are also boosted to the top of search results and the Meet Me page. This can lead to an increased influx of messages from interested users. There are certain details and photos hidden from non-paying members. When you get a premium account, you will be able to see all these details on other users’ profiles. Read Receipts let you know when a user has read your message. This is important because sometimes it can be hard to know when someone just didn’t see your message or when they are ignoring it. Read Receipts can help you avoid wasting your time on an uninterested person.
