Both are free to download. Blindmate sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $14.00 per month and A1Zap sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Blindmate against 4.7 for A1Zap.

Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Blindmate's written reviews are positive against 100% of A1Zap's.
Blindmate ships an update every 9 days, A1Zap every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
