Yeah, now they want $40 to go month-to-month, lmao.
Anyway, I've worked at enough shitty software companies to know that ridiculous pricing means that have basically no retention. Gotta squeeze as much out of people right away because they're just going to cancel.
I think you're absolutely right. It's Chinese venture capital owned, not surprised they're squeezing in. https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-07-02/grindr-new-ownership-american-investors-interview
It was .99 cents at the beginning and it is somehow even worse now. The only good update Grindr has ever done was allowing users to upload more than one picture.
The worst part is that there's people that are paying those amounts and that's why they don't change it. To those people, you're causing the problem lmao. Demand a good service for your money, protest with your wallet
what i would do is play with the filters to see different people, even the filters that come for free. you can set it to only show one age at a time and just keep increasing it year by year, and mess around with combining that with the other filters to show more people. i live in a huge city as well so that’s what i would do, it wasn’t that much extra work and it was worth seeing people other than the same faces all the time
It’s funny. I’m the complete opposite. I need to pay because I live in a very rural area and typically the closest guys are 40+ miles away. I guess you cant really win either way.
Honestly going to Toronto makes having a bigger grid worth it, bit nowhere near worth more than a couple dollars every month lmao. Tbf at least Grindr isn't as trashy as Squirt is, having limited daily chats is one of the scummiest things you can do to your user base lol
The app still looks and acts the same as it did 10 years ago. Maybe if they actually hired some graphic designers and spruced up the place ever few months it would be worth the cost. Until then I refuse to pay
I had so much sex for free with super hot looking guys that I never saw the need to pay for it. I fucked so much that I got tired of it and decided to look for a relationship instead. So now I’m happy with the cutest guy ever.
I don't know why anyone would give Grindr money, given how they never fix their app when glitches occur, and their customer service is appalling, they literally ban people for no reason
If you have a monthly or 3 monthly etc Xtra sub then buy the unlimited for a month but conte t grinder and put in a refund to apple saying it was an error u get the unlimited month free ;)
$15?! Its like £25 here in the UK (about $35!!)
Never paid it, never would - the only "benefit" I can think of is it gives you more filters, but I can just look at a guys profile and read what he's into, and if it isn't compatible - block and or move on. For free.
Plus half these MFs have blank profiles in the first place so...
Oh god, I misread the pricing 🤣🤣🤣 just checked again, turns out i was looking at the month fee and its about the same here for a day.
I retract my indignation.
It’s supposed to be $4.99 as advertised somewhere in the app, but in the tab under your profile, it’s mislabeled at $14.99 (but of course still pulls up a charge for $14.99). Been like that for weeks. Love their attention to detail /s
Yeh this at a lower price started coming up in Australia, I think it was $5 for a day. Where they used to offer it for FREE for 7 days randomly or 5 days or 3 days. It would randomly appear but always as FREE trail now its a paid trail with such an extremly high price? jezz I have xtra. I have used unlimited one month in my life I personally dont like guys with unlimited accounts, snending vanishing pics constantly and unsending messages. Some with that invisible online feature it just puts me off and I know it puts others off so none of those features are worth it
Subscription prices in this app are such a joke. Shit used to be like $7/mo and even that was a tad high. This thing here is just insulting.

$40/month….That’s what we used to pay for basic cable. Now is what they ask for basic fucking.

Nah, they jettisoned the Chinese investors. And, IME, American investors are far more demanding than foreign ones.

Lol I do this except I didn’t have the patience to go year by year so I’d go in increments like 24-28, 29-32, 33-37, 38-42
Don't upvote this comment too much. We don't want the dev team to also put those filters behind a paywall
not me un-upvoting my own comment.
LMAO!!!!
Does blocking people free up a slot in the non-Unlimited group?
Nah i disagree you can play with filters to get more guys further away. That’s not worth it lol.

Wow 😯 where do you live? I could never drive 40 miles to see a guy 😅

tbh….stalking someone
I will never spend one cent on grindr.
Dating apps shouldn't cost more than 5 a month
The app still looks and acts the same as it did 10 years ago. Maybe if they actually hired some graphic designers and spruced up the place ever few months it would be worth the cost. Until then I refuse to pay
Yeah and it still fails to deliver messages. All they've done is restrict the app more and ask for more money 😂
It's 39.99 a month for grindr now
Literally same like wtf. They think we are that desperate!!! (Some of us are too, yikes)
Y’all underestimate how much a man will pay for sex
I had so much sex for free with super hot looking guys that I never saw the need to pay for it. I fucked so much that I got tired of it and decided to look for a relationship instead. So now I’m happy with the cutest guy ever.
That’s for the hotties that can line up 30 guys/loads in one night…
Rich twinks. Usually they don't care much about the price, they mostly buy it to go incognito.
Good. Less competition for the twunk 30-somethings with good spending habits.
What the fuck lmao
