⚠️ Grindr's pricing escalation: Grindr Unlimited costs up to $49.99/month ($600/year) making it one of the most expensive dating apps. XTRA is $24.99/month. The free tier aggressively limits features with constant ad interruptions and restricted profile views to push upgrades. Note: Grindr has faced criticism for data privacy practices — consider this when deciding whether to keep even a free account.
⚠️ Deleting the app does NOT cancel your subscription. You must cancel through Apple or Google Play. Many users discover months of charges after deleting the app thinking they canceled.
For privacy, you may want to fully delete your account:
💡 Privacy note: Grindr has been fined $7.1M by Norway for sharing user data with advertisers and has faced multiple data breach incidents. If you're deleting your account, also request a data deletion to ensure your information isn't retained.
Grindr Unlimited at $50/month = $600/year — the most expensive mainstream dating app. Scruff Pro at $20/month = $240/year. Hinge free = $0. The question isn't whether Grindr works — it's whether the premium features justify 2-3x the cost of alternatives.
