OurTime Review

Unlike SilverSingles, OurTime doesn't try to filter your matches down to a curated few - it throws you into the largest pool of 50+ singles on the market and lets you decide. It's a Match Group property, which means it shares infrastructure with Match.com and Plenty of Fish, and that network effect shows up in real member volume. Best for: singles over 50 who prioritise quantity of options and want both casual and serious relationship possibilities. We found the browsing experience notably different from personality-driven competitors. OurTime is much more self-directed - you search, you browse, you flirt. The Flirt button deserves a mention because it actually lowers the barrier to initial contact in a way that works for older users who find the blank message box intimidating. The Events feature for local meetups is genuinely useful and something we haven't seen implemented this well elsewhere in the mature dating category. That said, the free experience is pretty clearly designed to frustrate - you'll see who messaged you, but reading those messages costs a subscription. Classic Match Group funnel. Free account creation, but Premium is where the real access starts. Premium runs approximately $24.99/month, dropping to around $19.99/month on longer plans. For that price you get full messaging, event access, and profile boosts. Real talk: the match quality on OurTime skews broader than on SilverSingles - you get more matches but less precision. Some users report a higher density of inactive profiles compared to niche competitors, which is a known complaint about large dating network databases. OurTime is ideal for 50+ singles who want the widest possible pool, casual meetup options alongside serious relationship prospects, and a platform backed by a company that's been running dating sites for 25+ years. Skip this if you're easily overwhelmed by choices or if you want algorithm-filtered matching - the self-directed model requires more effort from you. HTTPS, age verification, and Match Group's moderation infrastructure all contribute to a solid safety profile as of 2026. The company has real legal exposure and has historically responded to scam complaints, which matters at scale.
