What you get
Everything. Free.
Not a free trial. Not a freemium bait-and-switch. The features that define Splashd are free for every user, everywhere, forever.
See who is nearby, live — not a cached 500ft estimate from an hour ago.
See who is at the bar before you leave your flat. Pre-chat, then walk in.
Browse any city on earth, free. Grindr charges up to $24.99/mo for this.
Text, voice notes, one-to-one video calls. Unlimited. Free. No catch.
Request-based access, no watermarks. You control who sees what, always.
Profile verification and 24/7 human moderation. No bots, no fakes.
Why Splashd
Made forcruising.
Grindr paywalls travel mode. Scruff Pro gates filters. We think that is backwards. Splashd was built from the start with no paywall on the things that matter — because a cruising app that nickels-and-dimes you is just a worse cruising app.
- Travel mode: free worldwide, no subscription
- Unlimited messages, voice notes, and video calls
- Live map + grid — not a cached, stale distance estimate
- Never sells your data — not to advertisers, not to anyone
- Verified profiles and 24/7 human moderation
Quick answers.
- Is Splashd actually free?
- Yes. Grid, map, messaging, voice notes, video calls, travel mode, and private albums are all free. There is an optional Plus subscription for advanced filters and analytics — but it is never required to match or message.
- Available on iOS and Android?
- Both. Download from the App Store on iPhone or Google Play on Android. Same features on both platforms, launching at the same time worldwide.
- How is this different from Grindr?
- Splashd has a real-time live map alongside the grid (Grindr is grid only), free worldwide travel mode, and live venue check-ins. Grindr charges up to $24.99/mo for features Splashd includes free.
- Does Splashd sell my data?
- Never. Splashd does not sell user data to advertisers or third parties. You control location sharing, profile visibility, and who can see your private content.
- What if I want more than a hookup?
- Splashd supports looking-for tags including dates, relationships, friends, chat, networking, and hookups. You set the terms. The app follows.
