How we think about money
No pay-to-be-seen
Nobody can pay to show up more often or jump the line. Matches come from fit.
Activities at every budget
Tell us what you'd spend on a first meeting, from free only upward. The plan sticks to the lower of your two budgets.
Costs settled up front
Your plan says whether it's free, paid as agreed, or pay at the door, so there's no awkward moment at the counter.
Questions
Is Zydeby really free?
Yes, for now. Joining, answering, matching, group nights and planning cost nothing. The only required charge is ID verification, $4.99. A photo refresh and a background check are optional.
Why do I pay for verification?
Each ID check costs us money, and a small fee keeps out fake accounts. You pay once, on the web, even from the iPhone app.
Who pays for the activity?
The venue gets paid, not us. Your plan says who covers what, and many ideas are free or under $20.
Will it always be free?
It's free for now. If we add paid options later, we'll say so here and in the app before anything changes.
Is there a subscription?
No. There are no subscriptions, boosts or paid likes.
