Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RELATIONSHIP ESSENTIALS at 100% against Tova Dating's 50%. RELATIONSHIP ESSENTIALS also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.5). Tova Dating's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (24 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. RELATIONSHIP ESSENTIALS sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per month and Tova Dating sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RELATIONSHIP ESSENTIALS holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tova Dating has 24 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of RELATIONSHIP ESSENTIALS's written reviews are positive against 50% of Tova Dating's.
RELATIONSHIP ESSENTIALS ships an update fortnightly, Tova Dating every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
