Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: KoreanSSam at 93% against Korean Dating's 19%. Korean Dating's advantage is rating (2.8 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Korean Dating sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and KoreanSSam sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Korean Dating holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Korean Dating has 48 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Korean Dating's written reviews are positive against 93% of KoreanSSam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Korean Dating ships an update every 4 days, KoreanSSam every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
