What SCRUFF Pro adds
SCRUFF Pro’s advanced browsing includes (SCRUFF):
- Stealth Mode, so you can view profiles without appearing on their Looks list.
- Far higher limits: up to 1,000 profiles in the Nearby grid, in Woofs and in Looks, and 250 in search results.
- More favorites, up to 25,000 profiles in 100 folders.
- Unlimited search and filters, for age, height, relationship, last online and more.
- Four times more Match stacks, and up to 1,000 mutual matches.
- A startup lock with a password, Touch ID or Face ID on iPhone.
- Notes and insights on profiles, and fewer promotions and alerts.
Messaging Pro and Browsing Pro
The App Store also lists two cheaper plans, Messaging Pro and Browsing Pro. They’re listed at far lower prices, and their names suggest they cover only part of what Pro does. Check exactly what’s included on the screen before you buy.
Is SCRUFF Pro worth paying for?
Stay free if you mostly browse locally and chat. Pro is worth it in a busy city where the free grid runs out, or if you travel and want to search other places properly. The startup lock and Stealth Mode are useful if you’re not out to everyone. Try the shortest plan first, because the annual price is much more to commit up front.
Renewal and refunds
Plans renew automatically. On iPhone, turn off renewal at least 24 hours before the period ends. On Android, SCRUFF says to do it at least 48 hours before. Apple and Google handle billing and any refund, and SCRUFF can only confirm your status. A Pro plan works on one profile at a time. Our guide to cancelling SCRUFF has the steps.
