In the Netherlands, Scruff is a bit marginal, compared to its main rival (Grindr). With a considerably larger fetish crowd, Scruff does seem to occupy a niche in the market. But with the limitations of the free app, even in Amsterdam you almost always see the same faces, all throughout the year. For me, this simply means it’s a slightly less useful app than Grindr. How that works out depends to a great extent upon your location and personal preferences. One thing is for sure: Scruff has the lowest ‘fakers rate’ I am aware of, in online gay meeting platforms. That does give it a serious edge in dependability.
