Is Stir worth it?
The only Match Group app built for single parents. The weekly tier ($19.99/week ≈ $86.62/mo) uses the same dark-pattern framing as Tinder and Hinge — always use the monthly ($29.99) or 6-month ($12/mo) plan.
The core matching mechanic filters for single parents — the value proposition is real if that is your pool.
How to cancel Stir

Prices are A/B-tested, personalised snapshots (observed 2026-06-06) — not fixed rate-cards; App-Store-sourced rows are primary, secondary roundups are flagged. Data observed 2026-06-06 from App Store IAP listings (primary) and reputable secondary roundups (flagged). Prices vary by age, location, and test cohort. Pricing-honesty grades reflect documented dark patterns only — absence of a flag is not proof an app is clean. See methodology & sources.
