Want to meet new people and have a connection without the pressure of dating or business networking? OpenBubble is the solution. We know about the “epidemics” of loneliness and disconnection. We’ve all faced them at some point. In a room of strangers, looking for a connection. The solution is simple - a pressure-free meet up with someone new for a conversation over a coffee or drink. No agenda. No obligations. No pressure to create a detailed profile with pictures. Just create a basic account, indicate your availability, and OpenBubble connects you to the next person who’s available and nearby. It’s completely random, completely private and totally safe. > Open and Diverse Whether you are close to home, work, or simply passing by, OpenBubble allows you to find a connection and have a conversation with a random stranger - someone you might not otherwise have met. > Real-Life, Nearby Where many apps promote ongoing online connection, OpenBubble goes directly to connecting you in real time in real life. Our app automatically suggests compatible meeting places nearby. > Simple and On-Demand Open the app whenever you want. As soon as another user is available in the area, it begins! You get connected, accept the connection, pick a place and meet. > Connect and Contribute Picking from the selection of local spots you have a chance to review both the meeting location and the experience you had after the meeting. This supports our improving meeting locations and keeping the community secure. > Safe and Secure OpenBubble is free, fully confidential, and doesn’t include any advertising. You also have the control over the gender of the people you’re available to meet providing another layer of security.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OpenBubble at none against Beeper's 4. OpenBubble also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Beeper's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
