The AdultFriendFinder Premium Gold Plan gives paid members more direct ways to chat, watch content and search for matches, according to a Mashable guide to the hookup site’s upgraded tier.
Mashable reports that AdultFriendFinder can be used for free, but the unpaid version comes with sharp limits. The site regularly encourages users to upgrade, the guide says, so the paid features are worth checking before handing over card details.
Pricing listed by Mashable starts at $35.95 for one month. A three-month plan costs $26.95 per month, while a one-year membership is listed at $19.95 per month. Mashable also notes that Gold accounts renew automatically by default unless users cancel manually after a membership period ends.
What do you get with AdultFriendFinder Premium Gold Plan?
Mashable breaks the paid perks into three main buckets: more messaging tools, access to more adult content, and tighter search filters. In plain terms, the paid plan is designed to make AdultFriendFinder less of a browsing experience and more of a direct-contact platform.
- Gold members can send and answer private messages, according to Mashable.
- Paid users can enter webcam shows and talk to the host for free, the guide says.
- Gold accounts can create a Friends list and use AFF’s instant messenger for live chats, Mashable reports.
Free members, by contrast, can search using limited criteria such as Man, Woman, Trans, Couple or Group, according to Mashable. The guide says free users also get narrow filters such as Online or Near Me, but clicking through to see more about a profile triggers an upgrade prompt.
Mashable says unpaid members can still interact in forums and group chat spaces. They can receive standard direct messages from premium members, but the guide says they need to upgrade before replying and starting a private back-and-forth.
What content is behind the paid tier?
Mashable reports that AdultFriendFinder’s paid plan opens better-quality photos, videos and streams, including HD versions where available. Gold members can also view and comment on nude photos and videos that uploaders have restricted to paying users, according to the guide.
Webcams also get a paid-user bump. Mashable says standard members may watch member webcams one at a time, while Gold members can open several streams at once.
The paid plan also includes access to AdultFriendFinder’s Sex Academy, according to Mashable. The guide describes it as a sex and sexual health resource covering beginner topics such as condom use as well as more advanced sex techniques.
How does paid search change AdultFriendFinder?
Mashable says the Gold plan expands search beyond the basic free tools. Paid members can filter by gender, sexual orientation, age range and distance, with orientation options including Straight, Bisexual, Bicurious, Gay and Prefer Not To Say.
The guide also says paid search can include marital status, ethnicity and body type. Body type options listed by Mashable include Average, Slim/Petite, Athletic, Ample, A Little Extra Padding and BBW/BBM.
Gold members can also use AFF’s My Kinks section to show what they are interested in and search for users with matching interests, according to Mashable. The Friends list can help paid users keep track of favorite contacts, chat partners and streamers, the guide says.
