Approaching strangers is the hardest part of networking. Stuart makes it the best part. Like the well-connected friend who is brilliant at introductions, Stuart finds the people you should meet and sets you up for a great conversation. How it works: Tell Stuart a little about yourself and when there's someone nearby you should meet, you both get a nudge. Say yes, and Stuart will provide a little opener for you both. The rest is a real life conversation between two people who were probably going to like each other anyway. At an event Join with the organiser's code. Stuart uses Bluetooth to notice which other guests who opted in are close by. When one of them looks like a good match, you each get a suggestion. Both say yes and you're introduced with an opener. When you're free Not at an event? Tell Stuart you're free now, or free later, and get introduced to someone close by who said the same. Location is your rough area, never an address, and only when you ask. Afterwards, keep the people you clicked with. Stuart remembers who they were and how you met. Note down what you talked about and when you want to pick the conversation back up, the first line is already drafted for you. Stuart's also the one who suggests how you can help someone: Connecting people with problems to people who might be able to help solve them. Sometimes you give help, sometimes you ask for it. Your card One card, true everywhere. Before a yes, people see your initials, a one-line headline and what you have in common. After a yes, your first name and photo. Once you've met, the whole card. What is never shown to other users: Your date of birth, mobile, quiz answers and notes. Built to be polite with your data Bluetooth only works at events you've joined, only with people who opted in. You choose whether it keeps going while your phone is in your pocket. Your photo is shown once you've both said yes, not before. Every switch lives under Settings and privacy: sensing at events, suggestions when you're free, who can see you, what an organiser sees, and whether your uploads help make Stuart better. You can block or report anyone. You can delete your account, and everything with it, whenever you like. Full detail: https://bemorestuart.com/legal/privacy/ Stuart is for adults, 18 and over. If your event isn't on Stuart yet, tell the organiser to visit bemorestuart.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Be More Stuart at none against Swiftgram's 1. Be More Stuart also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Swiftgram's advantage is chart position (#198 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
