Neary App

Neary helps you discover people around you in real life — at cafés, campuses, coworking spots, and other landmarks you're already at. See who's nearby When you're at a place, Neary shows people who are also there and choose to be visible. Handshake to connect Send a short intro and request a handshake. If both sides accept, you can privately share phone numbers — contact details are never shared without mutual consent. Chat with people around you Join the landmark room chat and say hi to people nearby. Built for comfort and control • Show or hide your profile anytime • Phone numbers are shared only after an accepted handshake • Sign in with Google or continue as a guest • Simple profile with name, photo, and optional phone number Neary is for real-world discovery — not endless scrolling. Open the app where you are, see who's around, and share numbers only when both people agree.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Neary App at none against InterNations's 5. Neary App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
