Tinder Select is probably not worth the $500 per month price tag for most users. Here's a breakdown of the perks of the Select subscription:
If you're looking to boost your results on Tinder, check out Tinder's other subscriptions. Tinder Plus, Gold, and Platinum are all significantly cheaper and come with a lot of cool, special features. No, you won't get the Select badge, but with the hundreds of bucks you'll save each month, you'll be able to treat your next match to an unforgettable first date.

- Direct Message: the ability to DM someone without matching with them first. However, users can still opt out of being messaged by people they haven't matched with, so your message may not even be delivered.
- Skip the Line: people you swipe right on will see your profile unblurred in their "Likes You" grid. This feature is actually pretty nifty, because if you're trying to match with someone who gets hundreds or thousands of likes in a day, you'll be ahead of the line, making it more likely they'll see your profile. However, the feature is already available with Tinder Platinum, which only costs $40 per month.
- Special Status: a special "Select" badge to advertise on your profile (optional). The badge essentially advertises that you've paid for the subscription. Some matches might take this as a positive sign that you're well-off financially, but others might see it as a negative sign that you're spending so much money on a dating app.
- SELECT Mode: the chance to see and be seen by high-value profiles you might not otherwise have access to. Tinder's algorithm is famously mysterious and frustrating, but basically, a Select subscription means your profile will be way more visible to hot matches in your area, although exactly how this works is a little unclear, so it's hard to gauge whether it's really worth it or not.
- VIP Experience: Select membership is invite-only (you have to apply) and limited to fewer than 1% of users, according to Tinder. But whether it's because the Select club really is ultra-exclusive or because not very many people are willing to spend the money every month is unclear.
