Testing EDGE, our first full-powered gAI™️ subscription

Grindr is becoming an AI-first company. In practice, that means a faster, smarter, more personalized app that helps you connect with less effort and makes every conversation count.

We’re currently testing EDGE, Grindr’s newest premium tier powered by gAI™, Grindr’s proprietary AI stack built specifically for how our community connects. EDGE is designed for users who want a more efficient, higher-signal experience – less scrolling, better conversations, and stronger follow-through.

What makes EDGE different is that AI isn’t bolted onto a single feature. It’s embedded across the entire Grindr journey from discovery, to messaging, to reconnecting so the experience feels meaningfully better end to end.

What you get with EDGE

A-List

A recap of meaningful chats and missed connections, helping users re-engage with the people they actually care about – no matter where they are in the global gayborhood.

Discover‍

Personalized profile recommendations delivered daily, designed to reduce endless scrolling and surface more relevant, high-quality matches.

Profile Insights‍

Additional context and robust signals that help you understand who you’re likely to vibe with, helping you message smarter.

Together, these features are about outcomes, not novelty: connecting with greater confidence, better conversations, and more momentum.

Built with privacy at the core

EDGE is built with the same privacy-first principles that guide everything we do at Grindr. Users remain in control at all times. AI-powered features can be turned off in Privacy Settings, and sensitive health data is categorically excluded from AI use.

Starting small, learning fast

We’ve been piloting EDGE in Australia and New Zealand, where we’ve seen strong early engagement and encouraging feedback from our community down under. We’re now expanding this pilot to select U.S. cities and Canada.

This phase is intentionally designed for learning. We’re using it to refine the product experience and better understand demand across different markets and platforms.

As part of this testing, some users may see different prices. Pricing during the pilot is completely randomized across eligible users. Our existing subscription tiers remain unchanged, and EDGE is entirely optional to purchase at any time.

We’ll continue to listen closely, iterate quickly, and share more as we build a smarter Grindr that works harder for you.
