Let's be straight about this. Tinder is enormous, it's free to use at a basic level, and everyone's on it. If raw numbers are what you want, we're not going to out-number it and we're not going to claim we do.
The question is whether numbers are your actual problem.
The explaining tax
For most disabled people on general apps, the friction isn't finding matches. It's what happens next.
There's a decision to make on every single match. Do you mention it, when, and how. Then the reaction, which ranges from completely fine to the conversation quietly dying. Then doing it again with the next one. And the one after.
That's the cost. Not rejection exactly, just the constant low-level admin of managing other people's reactions to your body. Repeat it forty times and it's exhausting.
Here you skip it. Everyone already understands, so the first conversation is about literally anything else.
Swiping is not the only model
Swipe-first design rewards a fast judgement from one photo. That's not neutral for everyone. If your disability is visible, you're being sorted on it in a fraction of a second by people who've given it no thought.
We're built more around browsing and profiles than rapid-fire sorting. Slower, more deliberate, and better suited to people for whom the snap judgement is the problem.
Fetishists and time-wasters
This is the ugly part and it's worth being direct. Disabled people on general apps get a specific kind of unwanted attention, and general apps aren't built to catch it because it doesn't look like anything to an automated system.
Every photo and message here is screened before it reaches you. Members carry a rating based on how they actually behave. Reporting takes a couple of taps and doesn't need an explanation, and blocking is instant and permanent.
It doesn't make the problem vanish. It does mean somebody is looking.
Where Tinder wins
Volume, obviously, particularly outside big cities where any niche platform is thinner. Everyone already has it. And if your disability is invisible and you'd rather it stayed that way while dating, a general app is a perfectly reasonable choice.
Plenty of our members use both. That's not a contradiction.

Common questions
Is there a dating app specifically for disabled people?
Yes, several. Disabled Love Dates is one, and it covers disability broadly rather than a single condition. The main difference from a general app is that you don't have to explain or disclose to every new match.
Is it free like Tinder?
Joining, building a profile, verifying your ID, browsing and daily matches are all free, plus a set number of messages a day. Upgrading adds unlimited messaging.
Can non-disabled people join?
Yes. Plenty of members are partners, or simply people who understand. The platform is built around disability being unremarkable, not around excluding anyone.
Free to join, free to look around
A profile takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing. Have a look and see who's there.
