If you haven't taken a look at online dating sites recently, you might be shocked at how much they cost. The fact that search terms like "Ashley Madison coupons" and "match.com coupons" are really popular on Google should tell you a little about how the price of dating sites has increased.

Here's a brief review of three popular dating sites, a look at how much they cost, and some info on coupons available to their members.

Long considered the top online dating site, Match.com boasts the largest membership and most page views of any online dating site. Membership at Match.com isn't exactly cheap but it is relatively inexpensive compared to some of their competitors. The average member at Match.com shells out just under $40 a month for membership. Thankfully, Match.com coupons exist to hook you up with a free month of membership or reduced rates on long-term membership.

This is a site for married people looking to have an affair. As their site slogan says: "Life is short, have an affair." Membership at AshleyMadison.com costs an average of $40 a month, but a smart web user can easily find Ashley Madison coupons good for a free month or two of basic membership--this free trial comes with zero restrictions on your membership.

This is easily the most expensive dating site you'll ever find. The average cost for membership is $60 a month, though most users end up paying more than that to gain access to extra features. eHarmony.com is a household name thanks to plentiful TV and radio commercials that ran for years and are still running in some parts of the world. Coupons for eHarmony.com are about on par with the other two sites we looked at, offering a free month of membership or a discounted rate on long-term memberships.
