Three Day Rule Review: Cost, Process & Who It's For
Three Day Rule pairs a boutique matchmaking feel with the resources of a larger company operating in over a dozen US cities. Before you book a consultation, here's what the packages actually include.
What Three Day Rule is
Founded by Talia Goldstein in 2013, Three Day Rule is a matchmaking company operating in roughly 15 US cities, with a stated focus on career-minded professionals. Unlike a fully blind-date model, Three Day Rule shares a photo and short bio before you decide whether to meet a match. The company has also built an AI-assisted matching tool to complement its human matchmakers. New to matchmaking as a category? Read how matchmaking services work first.
Pricing
Three Day Rule doesn't publish a fixed price list — packages are quoted after an intake consultation. Publicly reported client pricing places standard packages roughly between $6,000 and $20,000, tied to contract length (commonly 3 or 6 months) and the number of guaranteed introductions, with a six-month package typically guaranteeing around six matches. The company has also introduced an invite-only ultra-premium tier reported at a far higher price point, limited to a small number of clients globally.
| Package | Reported price range | Guaranteed introductions |
|---|---|---|
| 3-month standard | ~$6,000–$9,000 | ~3 matches |
| 6-month standard | ~$9,000–$19,500 | ~6 matches |
| VIP / ultra-premium | Reported well above standard tiers | Customized, invite-only |
Safety & privacy
As a paid, consultation-gated service, Three Day Rule's model inherently limits public visibility of your profile compared to open dating apps. As with any matchmaker, ask directly about their vetting and screening process for candidates before signing, and review our dating safety guide for general precautions when meeting anyone in person.
Who it's for
Three Day Rule works well for
- Career-focused professionals in one of its served cities
- People who want to see a photo and bio before agreeing to meet
- Clients comfortable with a multi-thousand-dollar investment
- Those who want the resources of a larger matchmaking company with a boutique feel
Three Day Rule is a weaker fit for
- Budget-conscious daters — this is a premium-priced category overall
- People outside its served metro areas
- Anyone uncomfortable with matches counting toward a guarantee regardless of approval
How it compares
Against Tawkify, Three Day Rule's willingness to share a photo and bio before a date is a meaningful difference from Tawkify's fully blind-date model, and its entry price point tends to run somewhat higher than Tawkify's lowest published packages.
Our verdict
Three Day Rule is a solid, established choice if you want photo pre-approval before dates and are based in one of its served cities. If a lower entry price or a fully blind-date approach appeals to you more, compare it against Tawkify before committing.
