People date online, or they date at the bar. Never before has there been a hybrid solution to date online while you’re at the bar until now. Oftentimes bar goers will pull out their phones when they get bored with the other people at the bar, or to avoid looking weird or awkward in a crowd of strangers. Everyone does it, and everyone semi-hates themselves for doing it because they came to the bar to mix and mingle with the people on site. Traditional social and dating apps connect you with people all over the World while neglecting the people right in front of your face. BARFLi is here to solve the problem and redirect you back towards the people in the room when you pull out your phone. Fostering genuine connections. In the past the local bar or pub was the ideal place to go to meet new people. There were no dating apps that allowed you to interact while at home, and the concept of swipe right was all but unheard of. With the nearing of the present people have abandoned traditional dating at the bar in favor of a plethora of online dating options. Some of them on your computer, but most of them on your phone. BARFLi believes that people will return to the bar after end of all problems, but with a different skill set in the dating pool and expectations of an interaction that is both online and in person simultaneously. The BARFLi dating app allows you to see who’s single for the night, find out who’s interested in you, and match with your crush from across the room. You can use the interactive map to see how many men and women are at your bars of interest before you go out to avoid the sausage fest problem. You can use the card deck to swipe through the other people at the bar or neighboring bars on your smartphone, and you can use the chat module to message the love of your life and break the ice just before meeting him or her face to face in real time. With BARFLi you can know your match’s name, age, and favorite drink before you approach them so that it’s not so cold when you walk up and say hello. No more wondering if he’s attracted to you ladies, and no more debating if she has a boyfriend guys. BARFLi facilitates the dating scene at the bar by providing you with just in time information about the other patrons and socialites that you're partying with. Fellas, with BARFLi you will never get rejected because she’s taken already. The app will tell you who’s single and who wants you to approach them before you risk the chance of public rejection and humiliation. BARFLi reduces the fear of approaching strangers cold at the bar. Ladies, No more missed opportunities because he’s unaware that you want him to buy you a drink. The app will show him you’re interested by prompting the match. You can customize your experience by uploading profile pictures of yourself. Along with your favorite drink, cocktail, and cuisine. You can make yourself invisible at the bar, or available for all to see. You can choose the characteristics of your ideal date based on their age, gender, and specialty tastes. You can communicate with people in nearby bars that are walking distance away by expanding your search radius and matching with people at the pub across the street. BARFLi has everything you would expect and need from a social dating app that’s designed to be used at the bar. BARFLi provides a safe and effective way for you to see who’s at the bar with mutual interest to you without having to walk around aimlessly in circles from one corner of the room to the next. It turns strangers into acquaintances, acquaintances into friends, and friends into loved ones. The app makes dating at the bar easier, more efficient, safer, and more fun for everyone involved. Subscriptions are affordable and simple to understand. They give you a pass to see who liked you without having to match with them, and allow you multiple super likes on a recurring nightly basis. Welcome to the Digital Bar.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BARFLi at 5.0 against QDating's 3.1. BARFLi also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). QDating's advantage is ratings volume (150 vs 5) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
