Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Piffle sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Steamy PairUp sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Piffle holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Piffle has 22K ratings behind it against 178, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Piffle's written reviews are positive against 81% of Steamy PairUp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Piffle ships an update monthly, Steamy PairUp every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
