# Clicked Connections vs BARQ!

The clearest difference is rating: Clicked Connections at 4.3 against BARQ!'s 2.9. BARQ!'s advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (324 vs 11). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clicked Connections sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and BARQ! sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clicked Connections holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BARQ! has 324 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Clicked Connections's written reviews are positive against 33% of BARQ!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Clicked Connections ships an update every 3 weeks, BARQ! every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
