Realize that you may not meet your match through a service. Cox of the Better Business Bureau noted that the average cost per person to use a matchmaking service is $5,000 — and some people spend as much as $10,000.

How do you charge for matchmaking?

There are two major business models in the matchmaking industry. The first model is where men pay a very high fee while women are accepted for free. Men can expect to pay between $25,000 and $150,000 USD for an annual membership. Women, on the other hand, can enter into a free database for an unlimited amount of time.
