WEPLAN was born with a clear idea: Being able to do group activities how and when you want. Put an end to Fridays without plans, find the fourth player in a paddle tennis game, fill the free seats in the cinemas and ultimately make friends. Many more people than is believed spend a large part of their free time alone and, therefore, without being able to carry out any type of activity in company. We know that it is increasingly difficult to make friends and that although we are constantly connected on the networks, we often find ourselves very alone. This application aims to establish links between people so that they can make plans of all kinds. These plans created by the users themselves will be displayed in the app, thus allowing anyone who is interested to sign up.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WePlan at none against Bottled's 16. WePlan also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 77%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 weeks). Bottled's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
