Some conversations are easy to want and hard to start. Between Us is a checklist you each fill out alone, on your own iPhone or iPad. One card at a time, at your own pace. You answer honestly because nobody is watching you answer — not your partner, and not us. When you're both done, and only when you both choose to, your devices show you what you have in common. HOW IT WORKS 1. You each open the app on your own iPhone or iPad and work through the same list — 100+ cards about closeness, comfort, and boundaries. 2. You answer on a five-point scale: Love it, Like it, Neutral, Curious, Hard no. Add a private note to any card if you want to say more. 3. Nothing is revealed until you have both finished and you have both chosen to compare. Neither of you can peek early. 4. Your devices connect over a local link and show you where you match, where you differ, and what might be worth talking about. NO SCORE. NO VERDICT. There's no compatibility percentage and no ranking. The result is a starting point for a conversation, not a judgment about your relationship. YOUR ANSWERS NEVER LEAVE YOUR DEVICE There is no account to create. There is no cloud. Your answers stay on your own device and are exchanged over a local connection between the two devices when you both choose to compare. Nothing is uploaded, and we never receive any of it — because there is nowhere for it to go. Apple's App Privacy label for Between Us reads "Data Not Collected." You can lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. PRICING The app and the full checklist are free. Comparing your real answers is a single one-time purchase, and only one of you needs to buy it. There is no subscription. Between Us is a tool for two people who want to talk. It is not therapy and makes no clinical claims.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Between Us at 5.0 against Plegium's 3.3. Between Us also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Plegium's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plegium sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Between Us sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Between Us holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plegium has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Plegium ships an update every 6 weeks, Between Us weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
