You cannot simply “get” a free trial on demand. It is a promotional tool offered selectively to new or lapsed users, often immediately after account creation or following a period of inactivity. 2. How the Free Trial Works (When Available) When a user is eligible, the following flow typically occurs:

| Step | Action | |------|--------| | 1 | User opens Grindr and sees a promotional pop-up for Unlimited (usually within first 24 hours of account creation). | | 2 | User selects “Start Free Trial.” | | 3 | Grindr requires a valid payment method (credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay). | | 4 | User receives access to all Unlimited features for the trial period (commonly 3 days, occasionally 7). | | 5 | At trial end, unless manually canceled, the subscription converts to a paid recurring plan (weekly, monthly, or yearly). |

This report is intended for users considering the trial, as well as for general understanding of how the offer works, its limitations, and strategic considerations. 1. Executive Summary Grindr Unlimited is the highest-tier subscription for the Grindr dating app, offering features like an incognito mode, message read receipts, unlimited profile views, and the ability to see up to 600 profiles. A free trial is frequently marketed, but its availability is not universal. Grindr has moved away from automatic, no-strings-attached trials for all users. Instead, access to a free trial is typically targeted, limited in duration (often 3–7 days), and requires entering billing information that will auto-renew unless canceled.
