Bindaas is a premier organization. The expanse of the association has increased significantly in the previous years such that maintaining it on pen and paper was no longer feasible. The app provides a variety of features, namely, member profiles containing crucial information like email, contact details and addresses, information and reminders about upcoming organization events, reminders for birthdays and anniversaries, provide RSVP for the upcoming events and eventually enhance the quality of communication within the association.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bindaas at none against Platform8's 12. Bindaas also leads on ads (none vs shown). Platform8's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 14 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
