Cost
A good thing about Friend Finder sites is that free memberships have much more access compared to other dating sites although it is still somewhat limited. Free members can look at profiles of only paid members and have very limited search functions. They cannot search by any location smaller than a state or a province. Free members can view only the main photo of paid members.
However, free users can contact some members, respond to email, talk in the chat rooms, and post on message boards.
The paid Silver Membership and Gold Membership can view all profiles including free ones. The listing of paid members appear first. Also, paid members have much more search options and can search by zip code, city, and distance. Paid members can view video of other members. Silver members can view up to 5 photos of other members while gold members can view all photos. Silver members get their pictures and videos approved quicker then free members while Gold members have even higher priority.
The cost depends on how many months you pay in advance. For Silver Membership, it is $15 month by month, $29 for 3 months, and $69 for a year. For Gold Membership, it is $23 for a month by month basis, $40 for 3 months, and $100 for a year.
