# Doubble vs Surf Dating

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Surf Dating at 77% against Doubble's 23%. Surf Dating also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (519 vs 107). Doubble's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 4.0) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Doubble sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Surf Dating sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Doubble holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 107 and 519 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Doubble's written reviews are positive against 77% of Surf Dating's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Doubble ships an update every 6 days, Surf Dating every 11 days. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
