# iCupid vs Open

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Open at 100% against iCupid's 27%. Open also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). iCupid's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (576 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iCupid sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Open sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Open holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iCupid has 576 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 27% of iCupid's written reviews are positive against 100% of Open's.

iCupid ships an update every 2 weeks, Open every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
