What does JoinTheSwing membership cost?

JoinTheSwing separates the cost of joining from the cost of full access. Creating an account is free; identity verification is a one-time $4.99 check. You can explore the public-facing parts of the platform before committing to a paid plan.

Paid membership unlocks the full experience: browsing member discovery, sending private messages, requesting private albums, RSVPing to hosted events, using trip planning and shared itineraries, and joining local groups. The specific pricing tiers and what each includes are listed on the /membership page.

Event entry fees are separate from platform membership and are paid directly to event hosts or venues. Platform membership gives you access to the event discovery and RSVP process; the actual cost of attending a specific event depends on the host's pricing.

There is no per-message fee, no credits system, and no paywall surprise after you start using the platform. The membership fee covers platform access, and what you do with that access is up to you.

If you are comparing JoinTheSwing's cost to older lifestyle directory sites, the key difference is what you get for the fee: verified members, consent-first features, actual events with host-approved guest lists, and a platform built for discretion. The value proposition is quality over quantity.
