Built Different
Why DisabilityMatch?
Mainstream dating apps were not built with disability in mind. We were. Every feature, every decision, every policy starts from the same question: does this work for our community?
-
Disability-first community
Every member is here because they want a partner who understands, not one who needs educating. You belong here by default.
-
No awkward disclosure timeline
Your disability is already part of the context. You choose how much to share, when to share it, and with whom.
-
Verified profiles
Free ID verification and AI-backed moderation keep the community genuine. Fake profiles are removed fast.
-
Supportive moderation
Human moderators review reports within hours. We take ableist behaviour seriously and act on it.
Our Story
Built From Lived Experience
"Mainstream platforms were not hostile to disabled people. They were just thoughtless. I built DisabilityMatch because thoughtless still causes harm, and because I knew how to do something about it."

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does DisabilityMatch cost?
Joining DisabilityMatch is completely free. You can create a profile, browse members, and receive messages at no cost with a Classic membership. VIP membership unlocks additional features including unlimited messaging, seeing who liked your profile, and priority search placement. VIP starts from £6.99/month.
Is DisabilityMatch only for people with physical disabilities?
Not at all. DisabilityMatch welcomes all disability types and long-term health conditions. This includes physical disabilities, chronic illness, neurodivergent conditions such as autism and ADHD, hearing and visual impairments, mental health conditions, and conditions that are not yet formally diagnosed. If you live with a condition that affects your daily life, you belong here.
How do I know profiles are real?
All members have access to free ID verification, and verified profiles are badged so other members can see at a glance. We also use AI-backed moderation to detect suspicious patterns, and our human moderation team reviews flagged profiles and reported content around the clock. Fake profiles are typically removed within hours of being flagged.
Can I try DisabilityMatch before paying?
Yes. Classic membership is completely free and has no expiry. You can take as long as you need to explore the community, update your profile, and see who is out there before deciding whether VIP features are right for you. There is no pressure and no trial that converts automatically.
Is my personal information kept private?
Yes. Your real name is never shown publicly on DisabilityMatch. Your precise location is not displayed, and your profile shows only the town or region you choose to share. You control exactly what appears on your public profile, including any details about your disability or health condition. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
