# Cupla vs luv

The clearest difference is ads: Cupla at none against luv's shown. Cupla also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 3) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.5). luv's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cupla sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and luv sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

luv holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cupla has 2.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Cupla's written reviews are positive against 100% of luv's.

Cupla ships an update every 9 days, luv every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
