# Poly Dating vs Collab3x

The clearest difference is rating: Poly Dating at 4.3 against Collab3x's 1.0. Poly Dating also leads on ratings volume (314 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Collab3x's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Poly Dating sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Collab3x sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Poly Dating holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Poly Dating has 314 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Poly Dating's written reviews are positive against 50% of Collab3x's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Poly Dating ships an update every 2 months, Collab3x every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
