Verve turns the walk down your street into something worth doing. Local businesses leave limited-time offers at their front door. Open the map and you'll see what's nearby right now - a happy hour two blocks away, half off a clearance rack, a pairing flight at a chocolate shop you'd walked past a hundred times. Here's the part that makes it different: you have to actually be there. Offers can only be collected on location, so a Verve drop is never a code you forward to a friend or redeem from your couch. It's a reason to go somewhere. Collect a drop and it lands in your Wallet. Show it to staff at the counter and it's yours. How it Works: • Open the map and see what's around you • Walk over - tap any pin for a route or directions • Collect it when you arrive • Show the code to staff to redeem NO ACCOUNT, NO SIGN-UP No password, no email, no phone number. Verve never asks who you are. STREAKS AND KEEPSAKES Come back to the places you like and build a streak. Collect Verve Originals - keepsakes placed at notable spots around the city, with nothing to redeem. Finding them is the point. STARTING IN MILWAUKEE Verve is launching in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward with a group of independent businesses, and expanding from there. If the map looks quiet where you are, we're not in your neighborhood yet. Questions: hello@ververeality.com

FOCUS Equip's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
