Place
Read full descriptionHide full description
Place is a private photo diary you can share with the people you actually care about. Not a feed. Not a group chat that buries everything by Friday. One place where a day becomes a few photos and a line of text, and where the people you choose can add theirs next to yours. YOUR LIFE, IN ONE PLACE Add a photo, write a line, done. Place turns quick captures into entries that feel like memories, not posts. Scroll back through a month and you'll actually remember it. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything starts as yours alone. Nothing is public, nothing is discoverable, and nobody can find you by name. SHARE ONLY WITH PEOPLE YOU CHOOSE Open a shared collection with your partner, your best friends, your family. Everyone adds their photos to the same place. Skip the group chat. Keep the memories. NO LIKES, NO FEED, NO STRANGERS There is no algorithm and no audience. Just your things and the people you said yes to. THE PHOTO-FIRST JOURNAL If you've tried to keep a journal and stopped, this is the one that sticks: a day takes seconds, and the photos do most of the writing. PLACE JOURNAL & PLACE DAILY Place is free to try. Place Journal ($9.99/month or $49.99/year) unlocks unlimited entries, shared collections and the home screen widget. Place Daily ($7.99/month or $39.99/year) is for people who just want a private daily photo diary. Subscriptions are billed to your Apple Account and renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Skaify doesn't replace human interaction, it sparks it. It's 8:30 in the morning and you already don't know what to do with your day. Skaify does. Tell it how you're feeling, who you're going out with and what you're in the mood for, and it builds your entire plan: where to have breakfast, when to fit in your gym session, where to eat with your friends and where to go at night. All in one chat, with no forms and no jumping between ten different apps. Skaify is for exploring the real world and being surprised by who's out there. Tell it what you feel like, the way you would tell a friend who knows the city, and it builds your day: where to eat, what to do, when to go and how to get there. "I want a good dinner nearby without spending too much." "I have the afternoon free and I feel like walking." "I'm going out with friends and we want something low key." DISCOVER PLACES · A chat that recommends. It understands what you ask and answers with real places, their distance and why it suggests them. · The Explore map. What is around you by category: restaurants, bars and coffee shops; parks, museums and bookstores; cinemas, theaters and markets; gyms and spas; and events happening in your city. · Your day in order. Save your plan, get a heads up and, if you want, add it to your calendar. · It knows your tastes and your restrictions. If you are gluten-free or you don't drink, it won't suggest places that don't fit. · Really close to you. Skaify knows whether you're walking or driving and measures real distances. FIND YOUR PEOPLE · Plans with friends. Invite your friends to a plan and Skaify looks for something everyone will like, combining everyone's preferences. · Messages only between friends. Nobody you don't know can write to you. · You decide, friend by friend, who knows about your plans. MEET IN REAL LIFE · How many people are there, never who. When you go somewhere, Skaify tells you how many of your friends are there, how many Skaify people are there and how many share your tastes. Only numbers, no names and no photos. · An alert, only with consent. If you are already at the place and you want to meet people, you can send an alert to people who want the same. Nobody sees anything about you until the other person accepts, a no closes the door, and you can report and block in the same tap. · Three privacy levels: invisible, social or open to meeting people. Change it in one tap. Skaify is not a dating app and not a networking app. No swiping, no catalog of people and no chats with strangers: the meeting happens in person. Discover places, find your people, meet in real life. FOR BUSINESSES If you have a place, Skaify puts you in front of people who are already deciding where to go tonight. Publish your events and daily promotions, and appear when someone is looking for exactly what you offer. WHERE AND IN WHICH LANGUAGE Skaify works in the city you pick when you sign up, starting with Mexico City and New York. In English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. THE FIRST 1,000 If you're one of the first 1,000 people in your city, you get full Skaify for free forever. It's not a trial: it's yours for being early. HOW IT WORKS INSIDE Skaify uses artificial intelligence to understand what you ask and to build the recommendation. Answers are generated automatically and are not written by a person. It is a tool to decide where to go, not professional advice: check opening hours, prices and availability with the place. Skaify is for people 18 and older. FREE AND PAID You can use Skaify for free, with a limited activities per day. Skaify Premium removes those limits and adds the health profile with calorie tracking. The subscription renews automatically and you can cancel anytime. The price for your country is shown in the app before you confirm, and the free trial is charged when it ends unless you cancel before.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Place at none against Skaify's 2. Place also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Skaify's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
