For subscriptions, eHarmony offers three paid plans – Basic plan, Total Connect plan, and Premier plan. The basic plan is the least expensive; while the Premier plan is the most expensive, and thus the most feature-packed.

The Total Connect plan includes all the features of the basic package and more. The additional features include an extended profile that allows you to get more matches per day; the SecureCall which allows you to make phone calls with a match without having to reveal your phone number; and the RelyID which will show that your identity has been confirmed giving your matches confidence.

For obvious reasons, the basic plan is the most popular plan in eHarmony. Typically, whatever the plan, you’ll save more by opting for the longer term subscriptions. Anyways; the one month package (of the basic plan) is generally not the best not only because of its relative cost, but because the long-term relationships that eHarmony sells will realistically not materialize in a month.

Even the Basic plan which is their lowest-cost plan is higher than the prices of the premium plan of many of the competing sites in the industry. As mentioned earlier, the relatively high cost of eHarmony is seen by many as a positive. In a 2010 Harvard Business Review article, the relatively high cost of eHarmony was cited as a reason for its success, because it deters people who are only interested in casual flings.
