Největší český portál pro kluky na kluky. Co máš na iBoys zdarma: – neomezený počet profilů v okolí nebo i z celého iBoys, – nemusíš čekat na otravné reklamy, neomezený počet odeslaných zpráv, – nahraj si až 8 fotek do profilu a další třeba stovku do galerií – vytvoř si zamčenou galerii. Ostatní Tě můžou požádat o odemčení. Nebo si vytvoř skrytou, kterou nikdo neuvidí, dokud jim ji neodemkneš, – uvidíš všechny, kdo navštívili Tvůj profil alespoň za poslední měsíc. A kdo Ti dal plusko bez omezení, – filtruj si profily podle věku, výšky, váhy, okresu a online statusu. Další filtry budeme přidávat, – vidíš, jestli jsi uživatele už navštívil (nebo on Tebe) a jestli jste si psali – a mnoho dalšího * reklamní bannery se zobrazovat můžou, ale nechceme, aby byly příliš obtěžující, nebo abys na ně musel čekat.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: HARDLINE Chat at none against iBoys's shown. HARDLINE Chat also leads on review sentiment (36% vs 5%) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
