# BeFriend Me vs AfterMatch

The clearest difference is rating: BeFriend Me at 4.8 against AfterMatch's 4.2. BeFriend Me also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). AfterMatch's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (81% vs 67%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AfterMatch sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. BeFriend Me asks for nothing beyond the download.

BeFriend Me holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AfterMatch has 74 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of BeFriend Me's written reviews are positive against 81% of AfterMatch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BeFriend Me ships an update every 6 weeks, AfterMatch every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
