Verdict

The call

BulletinPlus and Upward Dating both sit at 4.1 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of BulletinPlus's written reviews are positive against 11% of Upward Dating's. BulletinPlus also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Upward Dating's advantage is ratings volume (163K vs 7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price and rating there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Upward Dating holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Upward Dating has 163K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of BulletinPlus's written reviews are positive against 11% of Upward Dating's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BulletinPlus ships an update every 6 weeks, Upward Dating weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
