New Membership Plans, Same Great Features!
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of exciting new VIP membership tiers! 🎉 These changes give you more options to select the perfect VIP membership for your specific needs. As an added bonus, we’ve reduced the cost of our monthly recurring plan, making it easier (and more affordable) to to search for the perfect roommate.

Curious about how this affects you? Don’t worry! In the following sections, we’ll address some common questions from existing users, so you can easily navigate these new options and make the most of your membership. Let’s dive in!
Did you raise prices?
- We understand that finding affordable housing with the perfect roommate is more challenging than ever. As such, we have not raised our VIP membership prices in order to keep Roommates.com as affordable as possible:
- Three of our four membership options are new: the 7-day, 6-month, and 1-year recurring plans.
- The price of our 1-month recurring membership option has been decreased from $15.99 to $12.00!
- Just as before, purchasing a VIP membership is optional. You're free to use the basic, non-upgraded version of the site to explore your options.
Have any membership benefits been removed?
- No! All membership benefits remain unchanged; only the membership options/pricing have changed. For a summary of benefits/pricing, check out our Price Plans and Benefits article.
Do new membership options include free ID Verification?
- All new VIP membership tiers (except the 7-day VIP membership option) include free ID Verification. However, users with a 7-day VIP membership can purchase two ID Verification attempts for a one-time purchase of $2.99.
Does my current VIP membership convert to a new option automatically?
- If you currently have a non-recurring VIP membership, the membership will automatically expire at the end of your paid-for time. You won't automatically be charged for a new membership, but you'll be free to manually purchase a new membership option at any time afterwards.
- If you currently have a monthly recurring VIP membership, your membership will continue as scheduled, but your next scheduled payment will decrease to $12 from the previous rate.
What if I bought a membership with the recent Holiday/Cyber Week promo?
- All memberships purchased with the Holiday/Cyber Week promo were non-recurring, so they will automatically expire at the end of the paid-for membership time, and will not automatically convert into a recurring membership.
