It was after their acquisition by IAC in 2011. Match.com is owned by IAC, so technically it was taken over by IAC. The CEO said multiple times they'd never charge, but plans tend to change after you get acquired.

Paying (for A-List) is entirely optional and gets you extra, nonessential features (like no ads and extra search parameters). It's been around since 2009, long before IAC bought us. Using OkCupid is still, and will stay, free.

  My mistake. I originally prefaced my comment with "I think" and should have left that in there, because I didn't know for sure. I misread a Mashable article that said OkCupid would never charge in 2011.
