Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Social meets at 5.0 against Farcaster's 4.6. Farcaster's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Farcaster sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Social meets sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Social meets holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Farcaster has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Farcaster ships an update every 5 days, Social meets every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
