Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Don't forget at none against Dates's 1. Don't forget also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Dates's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
