Inner Circle is a curated members community for people who live ambitious, interesting lifestyles – and want to date people who move in the same circles. Built on the belief that opposites don’t attract, everything starts with two important questions: What are you interested in? And where do you spend your time? Our community is niche by design, and not everyone will be accepted. Each application is reviewed by our membership team to curate a community of people with shared lifestyles and who move in the same circles. Once approved, you'll be a guest in the community and can earn access to features like messaging by inviting friends. Alternatively, you have the opportunity to become an Inner Circle member through a paid subscription. As a member you’re part of something bigger, with full use of the app to connect with the community, as well as invites to events. You’re not for everyone, you’re for someone. --- T&Cs --- Inner Circle is a subscription-based app and members who want to access all the features, or set different preferences, can subscribe for a membership. The membership price is clearly displayed within the app. We offer weekly and monthly subscriptions, plus 3-month and 6-month deals giving discounts on the monthly price. Please note that the price may vary per country, and is subject to change without notice. Inner Circle is free to download and limited features can be used without a subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lux Manager at none against Inner Circle's 10. Lux Manager also leads on review sentiment (41% vs 26%) and iOS requirement (8.4 vs 16.0). Inner Circle's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 10) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inner Circle sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per 7 days. Lux Manager asks for nothing beyond the download.
Inner Circle holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inner Circle has 10K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Inner Circle's written reviews are positive against 41% of Lux Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
