Which kind of dating help do I need?
Answer three questions and we tell you whether a dating coach, a matchmaker or profile help is the better first spend.
How we calculated this
Your goal leads: fixing a profile is a small one-off job, being introduced to matches is matchmaking, becoming better at dating is coaching.
Budget sets the boundary. Published prices here run $17 to $1 million, and matchmaking rarely starts below about $3,500.
How you like to work is the tie-breaker: 'do it for me' pushes an unsure visitor with a large budget toward a matchmaker. A clear goal always wins over this answer.

A general guide to the kinds of paid dating help, based on prices businesses publish. Not advice about any one coach or matchmaker.

- Why does budget change the answer?
- Profile help is hundreds, coaching is hundreds to a few thousand, and matchmaking commonly starts at several thousand.
