Silver Singles requires a membership after the trial period ends. There's also a downloadable app if you prefer to browse on your smartphone and a desktop option. With SilverSingles users answer a personality quiz and receive three to seven hand-selected matches a day, according to the website. Targeting users age 50 and above, SilverSingles takes a different approach from swipe-based apps, which ask users to make initial choices primarily based on a photo, or other services where users choose their own match. Extra profile upgrades that make OurTime unique include the ability to send virtual gifts, like a picture of a rose, or having a profile boosted in searches to make it easier to find. However, users need a paid membership to connect with others on the platform. With a free account users can click the “Flirt” button to let singles know they're interested, read their profiles and edit their own profile. Available as an app and accessible from a laptop or desktop, OurTime prioritizes local profiles before showing long-distance ones, and it's free to sign up and start browsing.
