Hosts and moderators can delete messages, time people out, ban, turn on slow mode and block words. • Clips: Publish clips with a link anyone can open. Viewers can like and comment, and clips stay on your profile until you delete them. • Profiles and follows: Follow creators, see who follows you, and keep up with likes and comments in Activity. • Search and discover: Search the Social tab for people, clips and live streams.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: EveryCord at 4.2 against Half Staff App's 3.4. EveryCord also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 98). Half Staff App's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 30%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Half Staff App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and EveryCord sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EveryCord holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EveryCord has 2.3K ratings behind it against 98, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Half Staff App's written reviews are positive against 30% of EveryCord's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Half Staff App ships an update every 11 months, EveryCord every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
