# Bean

Bean is the dating app for people serious about family. Swipe on the child you'd make together, then connect.

Currently in waitlist mode: anyone can create an account and build a profile, and members are admitted from the waitlist in order. Referrals move you up the line.

## How Bean works

1. **Make your profile** — A few honest photos and the questions that matter — whether you want kids, roughly when, and where home is.
2. **See the child first** — Every profile comes with the child you two could make, at birth, two and five. Imagined, not predicted.
3. **Match and meet** — Three swipes a day, so a yes means something. When you both say yes, you talk.

## Honesty

The child previews are an artistic guess, not genetics. No AI can predict what a child would actually look like — Bean is explicit about this in-product.

## Pricing

- **Bean Free** — free. The full app at no cost: child previews at birth, two and five, matching, and chat. Three deliberate swipes a day.
- **Bean Plus** — $3.99/month. Thirteen daily swipes instead of three. Subscription renews monthly; cancel anytime and keep Plus until the period ends. Unused daily swipes reset each day.
- **Swipe top-up** — $2 one-time. A one-time purchase of ten bonus swipes. Bonus swipes never expire and are spent only after the day's included swipes run out.
