# WhosHere vs Connected2.me

The clearest difference is rating: Connected2.me at 4.4 against WhosHere's 3.5. Connected2.me also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). WhosHere's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 23%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WhosHere sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Connected2.me sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $15.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Connected2.me holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Connected2.me has 31K ratings behind it against 4.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of WhosHere's written reviews are positive against 23% of Connected2.me's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WhosHere ships an update every 2 months, Connected2.me fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
