Overview
- Grindr confirmed it is piloting a higher-priced membership called Edge, extending tests from Australia and New Zealand to Canada and select U.S. cities.
- Test prices vary by user, starting around $80 a week, with examples including $219.99 per week and monthly options at $349.99 and $499.99.
- Edge is powered by Grindr’s proprietary gAI and adds three tools — Discover, Profile Insights, and A-List — on top of the ad-free features in Grindr Unlimited.
- Listed prices for Grindr Unlimited are about $28 to $45 a month, and premium tiers at Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble generally remain under $100 monthly.
- Grindr says the early pilot aims to make connections smarter and faster, and Mashable reports users can disable the AI features in Privacy Settings.
