OurTime suits singles over 50 who want a pool of people at the same life stage. It is a legitimate dating service: the app is published by Match Group Americas, LLC, part of the company behind Match, Tinder and Hinge, and it has a 3.9 App Store rating from about 70,000 ratings. The downsides are price on short plans ($39.99 for one month in the App Store), weak customer support, and a steady stream of complaints about fake profiles, account bans and renewals. Older adults are frequent targets of romance scams, so never send money to someone you haven't met.

OurTime, step by step
Create a free profile
Add photos, a description and interests on the app or ourtime.com.
Browse and like
Use Discover, Search and daily matches to find people, and like profiles that interest you.
Upgrade if you want more
Premium shows who liked you, read receipts, Boosts and Super Likes. Start with the shortest plan you need.

Keep the conversation on OurTime, video chat before meeting, and meet in a public place.
Cancel renewal
Cancel through Apple or Google if you subscribed in the app. Deleting the app or your profile does not stop billing.
OurTime legitimacy and licensing
Yes. OurTime is a real dating service for people over 50. Its iPhone app is published by Match Group Americas, LLC, part of Match Group, Inc., the public company behind Match, Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid and Plenty of Fish. Trustpilot lists the site’s operator as People Media Inc., whose BBB profile in Dallas has a B rating and 168 complaints in three years.
Legit doesn’t mean every profile is. OurTime says it uses profile moderation and fraud detection, but scam and fake profiles are the most common complaint, and people over 50 are frequent targets of romance scams. Match Group’s 2025 FTC settlement was about Match.com, not OurTime, but it shows why you should read renewal and cancellation terms closely.
OurTime cost
Joining, building a profile, searching, posting in Topics and getting daily matches are free. Premium, as listed in the App Store in October 2026, costs $19.99 for one week, $39.99 for one month or $89.99 for six months, about $15 a month. Older reviews quoting $12.99 a month describe past web promotions. Website prices weren’t available to us because ourtime.com blocked automated access, and Match Group brands can show different prices to different users.
Paid plans renew automatically at the same length. If you only want to try it, buy the shortest plan and turn off renewal right away.
How OurTime works
You create a profile with photos, a description and interests, then browse in the Discover tab, use Search, read Topics and get curated daily matches. You like profiles, and once you match you can chat. Premium adds the list of people who liked you, read receipts, Boosts that push your profile up and Super Likes. OurTime’s App Store listing doesn’t spell out every messaging limit for free members, so check in the app before you pay.

OurTime complaints and how to avoid problems
Across the App Store, Trustpilot and the BBB, the repeated complaints are fake or scam profiles, accounts banned without a clear reason (sometimes right after paying), no live phone support, auto-renewals and refund refusals, and matches outside the age or distance you set.
- Take screenshots of your plan and renewal date when you pay.
- Report suspicious profiles in the app and stop replying.
- If you’re banned, ask in writing for a refund of unused time; if you paid through Apple or Google, request a refund from them.
How to cancel OurTime and get a refund
If you subscribed through the iPhone app, cancel in your Apple ID subscriptions; on Android, cancel in Google Play. If you paid on the website, cancel through your account on ourtime.com; its help pages blocked our automated check, so confirm the steps there. Deleting the app or your profile does not stop renewal. Refund requests for app purchases go to Apple or Google, which decide them under their own policies.
Romance scam warning signs
The FTC’s top rule is to never send money or gifts to someone you haven’t met in person. Warning signs include someone who quickly asks to move to text or another app, can’t meet or video chat, claims to be overseas or in the military, or brings up an emergency, an investment or crypto. Report scammers to OurTime and at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
