WHAT YOU GET - Reconnect today - each day, one person to reach out to.

Don't lose your true bonds.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: My True Bonds at free against Bond's free with in-app purchases. My True Bonds also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Bond's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

My True Bonds holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bond has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
