Some actions on the Free tier cost Sparks. The Spark count is shown before you confirm. Connection requests, extra DMs, and Ask messages are the current Spark-gated actions.
- Send a connection request: 5 Sparks (refunded if they reject within 7 days)
- Open a full With reading: 10 Sparks
- Preview relationship context with a non-connection: 3 Sparks
- Ask: 1 Spark per answer
- View detailed profile of a non-connection: 1 Spark
- Reply to DMs beyond your free 3-per-day: 1 Spark per message
Premium ($9/month or $79/year) includes full compatibility, up to 30 Ask answers per UTC day, and DMs with connections without a Spark charge. Ask stops at the 30-answer daily ceiling, and DMs have a 200-message-per-UTC-day safety cap.
There's no surprise paywall in the middle of a feature. When something costs Sparks, we tell you upfront on the button, and you can always step away.
