ChaiKorner helps you turn free time into plans with people nearby. I'm Free — Announce you're open to hang out right now (or later today), and see who else nearby is free too. Discover — Browse activities happening near you: cricket, basketball, hiking, tennis, pickleball, chai & coffee, food, movies, or just a hangout. Filter by interest and distance. Host or join — Start an activity with a time, place, and headcount, or join one someone else posted. Keep it open to everyone nearby, or invite-only for just the people you invite. Connections — Build a friend graph with people you've actually done things with, and invite them straight into your next plan. Chat — Coordinate with your group in a chat tied to each activity. Privacy by design — We only use an approximate area (never your exact location), and every activity includes block and report tools. Sign in with Apple, Google, or your phone number to get started.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ChaiKorner at 5.0 against JWed's 2.0. ChaiKorner also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). JWed's advantage is ratings volume (57 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
