Plainly
How it works, what it costs, and what happens to your data — answered without marketing language, because these are the questions worth being straight about.
Yes. Matching, messaging, safety tools and your daily set are free, always — free is a complete experience, not a trial. Kindrd+ is an optional £7.99/month upgrade that adds depth: seeing everyone you're compatible with rather than just the daily set, seeing who viewed you, a monthly boost and event hosting. Every discovery filter is free. On Kindrd Social everything you can do is free — posting, stories, Watch, messages and communities — and Kindrd+ simply gives you more room: longer videos, more photos per post, longer story clips and longer voice notes.
Never. Distance is calculated from city centres only. Kindrd does not collect or display precise GPS location, and you can hide any identity field from your profile while still using it to match.
Instead of an endless deck, you get a small set of genuinely compatible people each day, chosen on identity, relationship intent and values. It is deliberately small so that each profile gets read rather than swiped, and so the prompts people wrote have room to do their job.
The whole LGBTQ+ spectrum — lesbian, gay, bi, pan, trans, non-binary, ace and questioning people, and anyone still working it out. The spectrum is the starting point rather than a mode added later, which is why gender identity and who you want to meet are real matching fields rather than decorative tags.
No. Per-field visibility means you can use any identity detail for matching while keeping it off your public profile, and discreet mode lets you browse and reach out without appearing in other people's daily sets. Nobody should have to out themselves to use a dating app.
Yes. Any identity field can be hidden from display while still being used by the matching. Listing yourself as a trans man also makes you findable by everyone seeking men — the expansion is match-only and one-way, seeking is never expanded, and your profile always shows exactly what you picked.
Everyone is 18+, confirmed by a date-of-birth gate at sign-up. You can block or report anyone from their profile or your chat with them; blocking is instant and silent, and reports go to a human moderator. Messages are not text-only: a dating chat can carry a photo, a video or a voice note, and a Kindrd Social message can carry those plus a post, story, event or profile shared into the thread. An automated filter reads the words of every message on both sides and blocks hate speech and targeted harassment before it reaches anyone. Pictures are not screened automatically before they appear, so if something lands wrong, report it — a moderator reads every report and can remove the content and ban the account.
In Settings, anytime. Access runs to the end of the paid period and then billing stops — no cancellation fees, no retention hoops. Every first purchase carries a 14-day money-back guarantee.
