Tinder’s parent company expects to save money by avoiding some of Apple’s App Store fees.
During an earnings call, Match Group CFO Steven Bailey said that once Tinder and Hinge widely roll out external payments, he expects to see “at least” a $65 million boost to the company’s adjusted operating income in 2026. Earlier this year, a judge ordered Apple to stop restricting how developers can link to payments outside the App Store.
“We’re also continuing to monitor the Epic vs. Google case and growing regulatory pressure,” Bailey said.
