Why a paid subscription? Why not just sell ads?

We believe close relationships are essential to happiness and emotional well-being. So our purpose is simple: helping people feel close. This affects everything we do, from the technology we create to the business decisions we make. 

Our subscription model helps cover our devoted team and essential technology and lets us invest back into our business, so Marco Polo® can be there for your everyday interactions and special moments long-term.

We’ll never make money by sharing your personal information with others, showing you their ads, or using manipulative tactics to increase your time in our app. Because even if doing so could fuel our business, it wouldn’t support your well-being, privacy, or happiness. 

You can learn more about our purpose and commitment in the Marco Polo Community Bill of Rights.

Marco PoloPlus is $59.99/year ($5/month) for annual billing or $9.99/month for monthly billing.
