PinPoint Connect
Read full descriptionHide full description
Ever wished you could reconnect with someone after you met but didn’t get their details? Someone you met on a night out. Someone you spoke to at a networking event. Someone who found your lost keys. Someone who captured photos or videos involving you. Even simple eye contact with someone you never approached. PinPoint Connect helps people reconnect through location. With PinPoint you can drop a pin at the exact place something happened, and if others pin the same area you can reconnect. How it works Drop a pin Mark the exact location where something happened. This could be a conversation you had, an item you lost, or a moment you want to reconnect over. Add a description Write a short optional note so people who also pinned the location can understand what you are looking for, recognise the moment, and reconnect correctly. Choose your radius Select the size of your pin location, which determines how close someone else’s pin needs to be to overlap with yours. This keeps pins relevant to where the moment happened. You can adjust the size depending on the situation. For example, if you met someone at a specific location, use a smaller radius. If you lost something in a park or larger area, use a bigger radius to cover more ground. Reconnect If someone else pins the same location, or places a pin that overlaps with yours, you can view their profile and description and they can view yours. From there you can send connection requests. Contact details are shared once both users choose to reconnect, and you control which details are revealed. PinPoint can be used for: Reconnecting with people you met but never exchanged details with Finding someone who found your lost item or who’s lost item you found Recovering photos or videos from shared moments Connecting with people from events, festivals, or nights out Meeting other travellers who visited the same places Discovering moments that happened around you Privacy First You stay in control of what you share. Pins are only visible within the radius you choose, and contact details are only revealed once both people agree to connect. You can also verify your profile so others know they are reconnecting with the right person, and for that extra layer of safety.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ThriftLog at none against PinPoint Connect's 3. ThriftLog also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
