How Stumble works.

A visual-first social platform with hybrid discovery. Your feed is driven by the topics you picked, not the follower counts of whoever posted. The signature feature is Stumble Mode — full-screen, one card at a time, swipe for next.

Creators tired of throwing posts into Instagram or X and watching them disappear because they don't have a follower base yet. On Stumble every post competes in shared interest pools — your first post has the same shot at the feed as anyone else's.

Yes. Free to install, free to post, free to use forever. Eligible creators earn cash from engagement; we don't take a posting fee.

13 or older (16 in the EU). We enforce a birthdate gate at signup and don't allow that field to be lowered after the fact.

At launch: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. More markets follow once we've cleared local payout + tax requirements.

Real reactions, saves, and comments from real humans credit your ledger. After a one-time identity check (KYC), eligible creators receive a weekly payout to a connected bank account. Bot activity is filtered out of the eligibility calculation automatically.

Micro-credits in the cents range, weighted by post quality and the trust score of the engager. The exact rate adjusts to keep the economy stable; it's never advertiser-driven.

An in-app reward currency users can give to other users — like tipping. Stars have no cash value outside the platform and can't be purchased; they accumulate through engagement and top-up grants.

Tax compliance + abuse prevention. We use a one-time bank verification so we can issue accurate 1099-K / equivalent forms and so we can stop sock-puppet networks from cashing out.

Full-screen one-card-at-a-time discovery. Tap the bottom-nav Stumble icon and you're in. Swipe up for the next card, tap like / save / dislike on the action rail.

No. We track every card you've seen in a session and exclude them from later picks. If something does repeat, that's a bug — let us know.

Photos, videos, links, and text. Up to 5 interests per post. Captions are capped at 280 characters; comments at 280 too. We limit how many posts you can send per day (10) to keep the firehose healthy.

CSAM, non-consensual intimate imagery, targeted harassment, hate speech, illegal content, and IP infringement. Recycled or re-uploaded content also gets caught — credit goes to the original creator.

Yes, any time. Open the post, tap the menu, choose Delete. The post is removed from feeds immediately; a moderation record is kept in our internal audit log for 7 years per legal requirement.

No. We deliberately don't send “X liked Y” or “you might like” notifications. The only types we send are: comments on your posts, trending posts you haven't engaged with, trending interests you don't follow yet, and stars-balance reminders. You can dismiss any of them or clear all from the Notifications screen.

Only sign-in codes if you choose phone sign-up. Reply STOP to any Stumble SMS to opt out. Standard carrier rates may apply.

No. We don't sell personal information and don't share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Full disclosure in our Privacy Policy.

In app: Settings → Delete my account → type DELETE to confirm. We cascade-delete your account row, posts, comments, boards, and anonymize behavioral events.

Yes. Email hello@getstumble.com and we'll return everything we have on you as a JSON archive (GDPR Art. 20).
