Making friends in New York shouldn't be this hard. Sally is a members-only social app for New Yorkers (soon to be other cities) who are tired of scrolling and want to actually meet people — built around shared interests, not endless swiping. HOW IT WORKS Open Star Packs — interest-based worlds like Coffee Lovers, Cocktail Connoisseurs, Film Fanatics, and Bookaholics. Pick the ones that are you, and answer one honest question in each. Those answers become your Star Qualities: the truest version of you on your profile. Sally matches you with people who genuinely share your world — then nudges you to actually go do something about it. Grab coffee. Hit a bar. Find a bowling lane. There's a map where you star the spots that make your city yours, and see where your community goes too. WHY SALLY IS DIFFERENT - Members-only — every profile is reviewed by a real person - Interest-first — you match on what you actually love, not just a photo - Built to get you offline — the goal is a real hangout, not a longer chat - No infinite scroll, no performing — just people worth meeting Whether it turns into a friendship or something more is entirely up to you. Sally is free to use. Optional in-app purchases are available but never required. Now go meet someone. Stay whimsy. Met Through Sally LLC · New York, NY

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sally at 5.0 against Saturdays's 3.4. Sally also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Saturdays's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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. Saturdays sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Sally sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Sally holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Saturdays has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Saturdays ships an update every 3 weeks, Sally every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
