Boyo is the social alternative to trip planning. Instead of scrolling anonymous top-10 lists, you see where the people you actually know and trust have stayed, eaten and explored — logged spot by spot, rated honestly, and mapped. LOG YOUR TRIP AS IT HAPPENS Start a trip, then add spots as you go: the hotel, the restaurant, the hike, the bar you stumbled into. Give each one a star rating, a straight answer on whether you'd recommend it, a note, and your photos or a short video. Your spots group themselves by day or by city. FOLLOW PEOPLE, NOT ALGORITHMS Follow friends and travellers you trust and watch their trips fill in live. Like and comment on a whole trip or on a single spot. When someone you follow shares a finished trip, you'll know. EVERYTHING ON A MAP Every spot lands on a map with its own photo pin. Browse a trip as a gallery, a grid, a list, or a map. See every place you've ever logged on one personal map — and open any spot in Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze or Citymapper when you're standing outside it. SEARCH BY DESTINATION Search a city and get the trips, the spots and the people who've been there. Filter to stays, food or activities. See it as a list or straight on the map. SAVE WHAT YOU WANT TO STEAL Bookmark a whole trip or a single spot, and file them into your own lists. Someone's Lisbon dinner spot goes straight into your next trip. SHARE IT ANYWHERE Turn a trip into a link anyone can open, or a story image ready for your Story or a text message — cover photo, spot count and dates included. PLAN THE NEXT ONE Planned trips are for the ideas stage: collect the spots you want to hit, no ratings or dates required, and turn it into a real trip when you go. YOUR TRIPS, YOUR CALL Trips stay private until you publish them. Pin your best four to your profile, archive the ones you're done with, and delete or deactivate your account from inside the app whenever you like. Free. No ads. iPhone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BOYO. at 100% against TART Connect's 50%. BOYO. also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). TART Connect's advantage is ratings volume (188 vs 8) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
