# Interracial Dating vs Backpackr

The clearest difference is monetization model: Backpackr at free against Interracial Dating's subscription. Backpackr also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Interracial Dating's advantage is ratings volume (530 vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Interracial Dating sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Backpackr sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Backpackr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interracial Dating has 530 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Interracial Dating ships an update fortnightly, Backpackr monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
