What’s Bumble Boost
Bumble Boost is one of two paid memberships that Bumble has.
Hovalo Tip: Let’s get this out of the way from the beginning, so you don’t get confused: Bumble Boost has nothing to do with Tinder Boosts. The equivalent for that is Bumble Spotlights.
With Bumble Boost, you’ll get access to a handful of valuable features that will make your Bumble experience easier and more enjoyable.
But first, let’s see how to get Bumble Boost.
How to Get Bumble Boost
- Go to your profile (silhouette icon on the bottom left corner of the screen)
- The subscriptions will be displayed between your profile picture and your information
- Tap on Bumble Boost
- Tap on Upgrade
- Tap on Choose a different plan if you want to change the duration of your subscription
- Make the payment
- Bumble Boost must be active until the selected period finishes.
Now that you have the membership, let’s see all the features you got with it.
Bumble Boost Features
With your purchase, you will get:
Never again run out of likes to give.
This feature allows you to swipe for as long and as much as you like.
In the early times of Boost, this came as default with every account but recently became only a paid feature.
The 24 hours for the girl to message are running out, and she’s still missing?
With this feature, you can give every single girl another 24 hours to get to you after the match is made.
Don’t let the conversation die if you don’t want to!
When either of you didn’t have time to reply, forgot the match, or got lost among the rest of the conversations, the Rematch function will let you bring it back from the dead.
It would be better if you don’t let the talk wither, but it happens to the best of us, so this is an excellent way to infuse new life into old messages.
Swiped the wrong way? No problem.
Having unlimited swiping can lead to making a mistake from time to time.
With the Backtrack function, you can undo the last swipe and recheck the profile to make the right move.
Hovalo Tip: You can also Backtrack by shaking your phone to the left.
This is Bumble’s version of Super Likes.
If you’ve found a girl that really drives you crazy, tap on the star instead of the check or swipe right to let her know how much you like her.
You will get five each week, so use them wisely.
Hovalo Tip: If you run out of SuperSwipes and still want more, you can buy them separately. And you don’t need Boost to get them!
Now, this is the real equivalent of Tinder Boosts.
For 30 minutes, your profile will get maximum visibility.
This can get you up to 10x more matches.
You’ll get one Bumble Spotlight every week. However, this won’t pile up, so it’s highly recommended that you use them before they’re gone.
Hovalo Tip: Best days to activate a Spotlight are Sundays around 6 pm. Or when bad weather hits, since there’s a peak of 20 to 40% in activity during storms.

Bumble Boost Price
As we've been telling from the beginning, Bumble Boost is a paid subscription.
Time to know how much money it costs.
Depending on the length of the purchased period, you can expect to pay between 8 to 24 USD each month.
The longer is the period you pay, the cheaper it will be monthly.
Hovalo Tip: Two things to consider here; the first is that prices of dating apps change faster than your ex-girlfriend's mood, and the second is that prices will skyrocket after you turn 30.

Is Bumble Boost Worth it
Yes, it is worth it! But you need two things for Boost to actually work in your favor.
1. Location
If you live somewhere with a small population, forget about Boost.
Bumble Boost—and dating apps in general—work better in highly populated cities.
In small towns, you don’t need any additional features to go through every profile within a couple of days.
Also, just because a place has a significant population doesn’t mean that everyone is on Bumble, so find out beforehand which is the most used app.
2. Profile
By now, you must know this by heart: a bad profile won’t get you anywhere.
Before making any purchase, optimize your pictures, bio, and answer prompts.
Otherwise, no amount of money will get you matches (unless you hire us, of course).
However, if you have enough money, and plan on being on Bumble for the long run, we recommend getting Bumble Lifetime or Premium instead.
