OurTime

What OurTime does

OurTime is an online dating platform exclusively serving single adults aged 50 and older, operating as a private subsidiary of Match Group Americas, LLC within the publicly traded Match Group (NASDAQ: MTCH) portfolio. Founded in 1995 and headquartered at 8750 N. Central Expressway in Dallas, Texas, the platform was originally developed by People Media, which Match Group acquired in 2009; OurTime was relaunched in 2011 as a dedicated brand targeting the mature singles demographic. The product surface centers on profile-based matching with features including Boost (visibility enhancement), ConnectMe (anonymized phone calling), Super Like (virtual item), Match By Mail (email-delivered recommendations), Photo Verification (biometric face geometry processing), and Happen Magazine (weekly editorial content). Distribution runs through OurTime.com, the Apple App Store, and Google Play across the United States and Australia, with explicit service exclusions for Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and Crimea.

The underlying technology stack leverages Match Group's shared infrastructure, including cross-platform recommendation systems, an extensive patent portfolio covering UI, matching, communications, and security, and shared authentication integrations with Facebook Login, Google Sign-In, and Apple Sign-In. AI and machine learning are deployed across matching recommendations, anomaly and fraud detection, content moderation, and computer vision for biometric Photo Verification. The company operates with only 11-50 dedicated employees, reflecting heavy reliance on Match Group's central engineering, payment processing, customer care, and security operations.

Monetization is primarily driven by automatically renewing subscription plans (monthly and longer discounted terms), supplemented by one-time virtual item purchases (Boost, Super Like) and third-party advertising enabled by Match Group's cross-brand data sharing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by region, subscription length, bundle, past purchases, and account activity. OurTime has no standalone public financials; its results are consolidated within Match Group without separate brand-level disclosure. The legal entity is Match Group Americas, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Match Group, Inc., and People Media, Inc. remains listed as a legacy copyright holder.

• eHarmony: Established dating platform with strong 40-60+ skewing user base and serious-relationship positioning; competes with OurTime for relationship-oriented mature daters.
• Facebook Dating: Free dating product embedded in Meta's platform; significant competitive threat to subscription dating brands including OurTime, especially among older users already active on Facebook.
