In the evolving online dating scene, users are looking for apps that foster genuine chemistry and meaningful engagement. Hullo leverages AI-driven matchmaking, behavioural insights, and First Voice interactions to help users build authentic connections. Scruff focuses on the gay community, offering profile browsing, social networking, and chat features to help users connect with like-minded individuals. According to a 2025 Global Online Dating Trends Report, over 66% of young adults now prefer platforms that prioritise personality, emotional depth, and compatibility rather than casual swiping. “Hullo’s AI and voice-first features enable users to engage with personality and intent, resulting in deeper and more compatible relationships,” says Dr. Olivia Chen, social communication researcher at the University of Hong Kong. “Scruff provides a platform for gay men to explore dating and social networking within a safe, community-focused environment,” explains Dr. Marcus Johnson, digital relationships expert at Howard University. If you are weighing AI-driven voice-based matchmaking against community-focused LGBTQ+ social and dating experiences, this comparison will help you identify the app that best fits your relationship style.

I recommend this app for scruff guys and all guys of every kind. I don’t view it as a “hook up” site, and believe although the option is there, it’s also a great place to make new friends. The “venture” feature is amazing and unique for these types of apps. It allows you to search guys in any area around the entire world. If you plan on traveling, I definitely suggest utilizing this feature to meet guys online before you arrive. This enables you to meet potential date, no matter what intent, and allows you to learn about the good spots friendly to our sexuality! I did this when traveling several times, and all I can say is I was very happy and fortunate to have this app. I believe you can get a free trial before upgrading to “Pro”, which will allow you to familiarize yourself with Scruff, and realize why upgrading is not only the best route, but is fair in features and price. Try it out! It’s undoubtedly the best tool out there for meeting new guys. I’d just like to add (because it’s happened to all of us), men on here are way more friendly and courteous. They try to constantly out-do themselves, and will even ask for your opinion or suggestions on any potential changes, but it’s unlikely as this app provides just about everything! Xoxo
Scruff used to set itself apart from other gay apps in a good way. Navigating the app was easy and compared to other apps like Grindr it wasn’t flooded with spam bots. That has all changed now. My biggest complaint with Scruff is its insane slender picture cropping feature it has for when you upload pics. It forces you to pick a tiny rectangular portion of your photo to upload…cutting out a large portion of your pic. The only way to get a full head-to-toe photo to display is to upload a picture of you that was taken from a far distance away. My second biggest gripe is that the app is now flooded with spam accounts, women larping as men, and hustler/escort profiles which Scruff claims are against their rules; however when you report these accounts nothing happens and they stay active. I preferred the older layout rather than the new one where you have to click-click-click to see who woofed at you. Oh! Would be cool if they actually added a sound notification for when you get a woof! Finally…the “moments” thing is by far the worst feature they ever came up with. I really don’t care that I have “several moments waiting for me” to view…which are nothing more than nude pics uploaded by some guy who randomly woofed or messaged me months ago. Come on Scruff…be better…like you used to be.
Without a doubt Scruff delivers a daily feast of gay men. You can spend hours reading the profiles and viewing face photos of aspiring young gay men on your Smartphone in the privacy of your home or office. You are allowed to “woof” any man that you might fancy. This is purely your individual choice. You can even contact any of these individuals if their profile offers any interest to you. It is up to the individual you try to contact to message you back. It may be problematic as to whether you receive a message back because that is based on mutual interest of looks, hobbies, business interests and numerous other factors. These factors can be included under the very general term of “chemistry”. The basic plan is free. You are limited on the number of guys you can view. It is still very generous on the number of men you can view. For a nominal monthly fee you can upgrade to the “Pro” plan. With this plan you can view many more gay men along with their profiles as well as message any guy you might want. It is very addictive to browse the guys. It is very entertaining as well. I would highly recommend this app! If you are a gay man I guarantee you will enjoy yourself!
Scruff is just Grindr on steroids for some reason. People talk about Grindr guys being creepy and awful, but at least you deal with a wide variety of men. This app just has the worst of the awful guys, the lowest of the low in our community; it’s disgusting. This app is geared towards ‘masculine’ men, although it claims to be inclusive (more on that below), so you get all the toxic masculinity that comes along with it. I have been using this app for about 5 years and I’ve only hooked up twice from it for the first time this year. I’m not going to pretend to be a stud, but I’ve always had much better luck on Grindr. It’s only because the personalities of the guys on Scruff make me want to vomit so I lose interest quickly. Even if just for a quick hook up, it’s still not worth it. The app allows you to write more stuff on your profile than Grindr does, which makes some guys write entire essays about their likes and dislikes and that’s where you start seeing all the racism, and internalized homophobia even more. I could go on for hours writing about the kind of guys that get on the app, but it’s clear they only cater to a very particular audience. The app claims to be inclusive and what not, but even the staff is prejudiced. It’s clear that the good reviews mostly come from the same people who contribute the worst our community has to offer. To top it all off, the same guys will message you on Grindr, but not on Scruff. It makes no sense.
