Yes — SALT is a free Christian dating app. You can create a verified profile, browse matches, like and match with other members, and message unlimited once you’ve matched, all without paying anything. Premium exists, but it adds extras on top of a genuinely complete free experience rather than gating the app itself.

There’s been some confusion floating around lately about what’s actually free on SALT, so let’s clear it up properly.

In short

SALT is free to download and free to use for meeting, matching and chatting with other single Christians. Premium is an optional upgrade for members who want extra features like unlimited Likes-list visibility, more Intros, and Global Search — it isn’t a paywall on the core experience.

What’s completely free on SALT

As a free SALT member, you get:

• A verified profile (selfie verification included)
• Browsing of matches
• Unlimited messaging with your matches
• Voice notes
• Video calls
• Access to Table, SALT’s live audio events
• One Intro every 72 hours

That’s the full dating app experience — meeting people, matching, and having real conversations — without spending a penny.

In short

Every core feature you need to actually date on SALT — profile, matching, unlimited chat, voice notes, video calls, and Table — is free. And we know plenty of couples who have met on the free version of SALT.

Myth #1: “You can only send one message every 72 hours for free”

This is an easy mix-up. The 72-hour limit applies to Intros, a specific feature that lets you send a short message to someone before you’ve matched. Once you’re matched with someone, messaging is unlimited for every member, free or Premium. Chat as much as you like.

In short

The 72-hour limit is on Intros only, not on messaging your matches, which is always unlimited.

Myth #2: “You can’t receive an Intro unless you’re a Premium member”

Not true. If someone sends you an Intro, it reaches you regardless of whether you’re on the free version or Premium. The 72-hour limit governs sending Intros, not receiving them, so if a Premium member sends you one, it lands in your queue as normal.

In short

Anyone can receive an Intro for free. The limit only affects how often you can send one.

Myth #3: “You can’t see who’s liked you for free”

Also not quite right. Free members can still see a limited number of people who’ve liked them — some profiles will be blurred, but it’s not a blank screen. And if someone who’s liked you shows up in your Meet Screen, you’ll see a “Likes You” banner on their profile even as a free member, so you’re never completely in the dark.

What Premium adds here is instant, unblurred visibility of your full Likes list, so you can see everyone who’s liked you before deciding whether to like them back. It’s an upgrade, not a gate on the core experience.

In short

Free members can see some of their likes, with a “Likes You” banner as a helpful clue elsewhere in the app. Premium simply unblurs the whole list at once.

What SALT Premium actually adds

If you want to go further than the free experience, SALT Premium unlocks:

• Your full Likes list, instantly and unblurred
• Up to 10 Intros per day
• Global Search, to find members using filters beyond your local area
• Private Mode, so only people you’ve liked can see your profile
• Priority placement in other members’ Meet Screens
• The ability to see everyone you’ve previously skipped

Premium is a genuine upgrade for members using the app heavily, but it’s an optional extra rather than a requirement for using SALT properly.

In short

Premium adds convenience and reach for active daters. It doesn’t unlock dating itself — that’s already free.
