This blog post discusses the benefits and costs of SALT Premium and also highlights the cheapest way to purchase Premium.

Intro

When I was asked to share my thoughts on SALT Premium, I laughed a little to myself. Not because the question is silly (it’s actually a very fair question!) but because, as a member of the SALT team, I know I might sound a little biased. At the same time, I’ve been a Christian for many years, I married young, and I’ve walked with lots of single friends through the ups and downs of Christian dating. So while I may be close to the project, I also genuinely believe SALT Premium can be a game-changer for many single Christians who are serious about finding someone who shares their faith.

If you’re committed to following Jesus, and wondering whether investing in SALT Premium is “worth it”, I’d love to share my honest thoughts with you.

What is SALT Premium?

Before we get into whether it’s worth the money, let’s quickly define what SALT Premium actually is.

SALT (in case you haven’t heard yet) is the leading global Christian dating app. It’s designed for Bible-believing Christians who want to meet like-minded singles without having to sift through people who don’t share their faith. The free version of SALT already offers a lot, but Premium unlocks extra features to make your experience more intentional and effective.

Some of the key Premium features include:

• See all your likes (saves a lot of guessing!)
• Advanced filters (find people with the values and interests that you’re looking for).
• Private mode (only be seen by the people you like).
• Profile boosts (get prioritised above others and shown first on the meet screen).

I’ll break down why these features can matter so much in just a second, but the bottom line is this: SALT Premium gives you more tools to connect with the right people in a shorter amount of time.

Why Consider Premium?

Here’s the thing: as Christians, we often hear the phrase “dating with purpose.” That’s not just a cliché — it’s true. Dating isn’t just for fun; it’s about discerning if someone could be a godly partner for life.

The reality is that we’re all busy. Many of you are working full-time, studying, involved in church life, maybe even serving in ministry. Meeting new Christian singles in your everyday circles can feel almost impossible. That’s where SALT is already a gift, and Premium helps you use it even more wisely.

Intentionality in Christian Dating

When I got married (and yes, it was young — I was 23!), I remember my friends who were single saying things like, “Is it even possible to meet someone serious these days?” The frustration was real. Some of them were using mainstream dating apps, but they often came away discouraged. Too many conversations fizzled out quickly because the other person didn’t actually share their faith or values.

What I love about SALT Premium is how it saves you time and heartache by giving you the filters and features to focus on the people who really matter. For example, whether you’re looking for a karaoke soulmate in London, a hiking partner in Texas, or even a fellow foodie in Sydney, Premium makes that easier.

The Best (and Cheapest) Way to Buy Premium

Here’s a little insider tip (and one that I’m excited to share because not everyone knows this yet):

👉 The best way to get SALT Premium right now is directly on the SALT website: be-salt.com/premium.

If you buy Premium through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you’ll pay more because of the extra fees they add. But on the website, SALT offers discounted rates that make Premium much more affordable.

You even get some bonus Profile Highlights with the monthly, quarterly and yearly subscription if you need some extra incentive!

So if you’re even considering Premium, definitely grab it there — you’ll save money and still get the exact same benefits in the app.

Is It Worth The Money?

Alright, so the big question: is SALT Premium actually worth paying for?

In my view, yes — if you’re serious about dating and marriage.

Think of it this way: people invest in gym memberships, streaming services, eating out, or even just daily coffee. Those things are enjoyable, but none of them have the potential to impact your future as profoundly as meeting your spouse. Compared to that, the cost of Premium is honestly very reasonable.

How to Use Premium Wisely

The last thing I’ll say is that it’s important to be wise stewards of our money. It’s also important to be wise about our dating. With both of those things said, I would advise that you buy SALT Premium when you feel a prompt from God to step it up a gear in your dating life. When you sense you’re in an emotionally stable place, with time to give to people, invest in the extra tools.

You’re likely to get more matches and messages going when you’re paying for Premium but that can also be overwhelming so make sure you’re really ready for it. This will help the whole SALT community as well as yourself!

We designed both the free version of SALT and the bonus features of SALT Premium with Christians in mind. It was all for His glory and we trust that you’ll enjoy SALT for His glory too – let’s see what He does!
