Most subscription-based sites cost $12-40/month depending on the plan length. CupidMedia sites (ThaiCupid, FilipinoCupid, etc.) range from $11.67/mo (annual) to $39.99/mo (monthly Platinum). Credit-based sites like EasternHoneys charge per action — messaging, video chat, etc.

Subscription sites (CupidMedia) charge a flat monthly fee for unlimited messaging. Credit-based sites (EasternHoneys, AsianMelodies) charge per message, video call, or gift.
