Using SCRUFF for free
There is no standard free trial of Pro, but the free app lets you:
- browse men nearby;
- message freely;
- see events and travel listings;
- favourite profiles.
Pro adds stealth browsing, no ads and more organisation.
Getting the most from the free version
- Use a clear main photo and a real bio. Say what you are looking for — friends, dates or something else.
- Check the events listings for your city and anywhere you are travelling.
- Message people at the same events. It is an easy, relaxed opener.
- Set your privacy options before you travel.
When to upgrade
If you often want to browse quietly, or you travel and want to organise contacts in different cities, Pro is worth it. If you are mostly local and happy with ads, the free version covers the essentials.
Offers occasionally appear in the app. Be wary of "free Pro" websites — they are not connected to SCRUFF.
If you are travelling, set up your profile before you leave home and browse the destination's events a week in advance. Arriving with a couple of conversations already started makes it far easier to meet people in a new city, whether for a date or simply a local recommendation.
And whatever you use SCRUFF for, meet new people in busy, public places first.
