Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ivy Dating at none against SoMe's shown. Ivy Dating also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). SoMe's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SoMe holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 57 and 22 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Ivy Dating's written reviews are positive against 60% of SoMe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ivy Dating ships an update every 6 days, SoMe monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 20, 2026 respectively.
