Starlings is your personal friends and family tracker, a private space where you keep everything that matters about the people you love. β’ Dashboard home screen: see who you haven't reached out to recently, upcoming birthdays, and what's due today. β’ Remember all the little details: contact information, social handles, job details, skills, likes & dislikes, and more. All in one place. β’ Log your interactions: calls, video chats, in-person moments. Track when you last connected with someone, your emotions, and when you need to contact them again. β’ Track important dates: birthdays, anniversaries, and custom dates. Get reminded before they arrive. β’ Link people to each other: record relationships between contacts (siblings, partners, colleagues) so you understand everyone's world. β’ Write journal entries: a personal diary woven into your relationships. Write down your thoughts, categorize entries, and tag people. β’ Track finances: money you've lent or borrowed, with settlement tracking and clear visual cues. β’ Stay on top of tasks: link to-dos to specific people or keep them global. Set reminders and get notified on time. We're also private by design. No account. No password. No subscription just to use the app. Starlings works from the moment you open it. iCloud sync is available if you want it. You can also export everything as an archive at any time. The free version lets you add up to 5 contacts and explore everything Starlings can do. Starlings Pro (one-time payment) removes the limit and allows you to add as many people as your life holds. No subscription. No price changes. Pay once, yours forever. Starlings is built for people who believe that remembering someone is an act of love. It's designed to feel like something you want to open: quiet, warm, and entirely yours.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PlotWeaver RPG at none against Starlings's 1. PlotWeaver RPG also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). Starlings's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
