Making friends as an adult is hard. Peerkat makes it easy by connecting you with small groups of compatible people right in your area. 1. Build your profile. Share your interests, personality, and what you're looking for. 2. Get group matched. Our algorithm pairs you with 4-5 compatible people nearby. No swiping required. 3. Chat with your group. Get to know each other in a low-pressure group conversation. 4. Meet up IRL. Once your group clicks, take the conversation offline and hang out in person. What makes Peerkat different: Small groups of 4-5 people ease the pressure of meeting strangers. Staggered matches give you time to connect with each group instead of being overwhelmed by new ones. Built to get you off the app, Peerkat is designed to move friendships from chat to real life. Purely platonic. Peerkat is built for friendships, not dating. Whether you just moved to a new city, started college, switched jobs, or simply want to expand your social circle, Peerkat makes it easy to find your people in real life. Start with a 1 month free trial. After your trial ends, continue for $5.99/month. Cancel anytime. Your next great friendship is waiting. Download Peerkat and find your people!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Peerkat at 5.0 against Eclipse's 4.3. Peerkat also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.0). Eclipse's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (27 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
