Quick answers to the most common questions about memberships.
Why does Special Bridge have a paid membership?
Special Bridge is designed to feel safe, calm, and respectful. A small membership helps reduce spam and unwanted messages, keeps the site ad-free, and supports moderation and support so members can connect comfortably.
How does the free first month work?
Your membership starts with a free first month so you can experience full access without pressure. After the first month, your membership continues at the standard monthly or yearly rate unless you cancel.
What do paid memberships unlock?
Paid memberships unlock messaging, friend requests, groups, posting in the feed, and a verified checkmark that shows other members you have full access.
Do both people need to be paid members to message?
Paid members can start conversations with other members. Free members can read messages, and upgrading allows them to reply and continue the conversation. This approach helps keep messaging thoughtful and focused on real connection.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel anytime in your account settings. Your access stays active until the end of your billing period.
Is Special Bridge a swipe-based dating app?
Not exactly. Special Bridge is built around detailed profiles, shared interests, messaging, and social groups so members can connect at their own pace without pressure.
We do offer an optional feature called Quick Connect, which uses a simple swipe-style format to help you discover new people. It’s just one tool, not the focus of the platform, and you can still connect through profiles, groups, and conversations in a more traditional way.
Is Special Bridge for dating or friendship?
Both. Many people start by making friends and joining groups, and relationships can grow from there.
Do you offer group discounts for organizations or local programs?
Yes. Special Bridge is happy to work with local organizations, support groups, and community programs that want to help multiple members join the platform.
We understand that many adults with disabilities are connected through day programs, community centers, advocacy groups, and other support networks. If you are coordinating for a group and would like to explore discounted memberships for multiple people, we would love to hear from you.
Group arrangements can include special pricing and simple onboarding to make the process easier for everyone involved.
Please contact us directly to tell us about your organization and how many members you are looking to support, and we will work with you to find the best option.
Do you offer refunds?
If something doesn’t look right, contact support and we’ll help. We handle refund requests case-by-case.
