About

Heirloom

Features
Read full description

Swap what you grow, bake and preserve, with your street. Every week good food goes to waste. A basket of lemons you can't use, a tray too many muffins. Heirloom helps you pass it to a neighbour instead, and get something homemade back. HOW IT WORKS 1. List what you've got spare, a cooked meal, garden produce or a preserve. 2. Browse what your neighbours have listed 3. Propose a swap, chat to sort the details and meet at a suggested local midpoint. POST WHAT YOU'D LOVE Short on herbs? Chasing sourdough? Post what you're looking for and Heirloom will suggest nearby listings that match, so you're not stuck checking back every day. MEET SOMEWHERE HALFWAY When you arrange a swap, Heirloom suggests a local place roughly halfway between the two of you. Neutral ground, and nobody trekking across town. MADE FOR NEIGHBOURS, NOT SHOPPERS • Swap, don't sell, no money changes hands • Cooked meals, garden produce and preserves • Message to arrange a time that suits you both YOUR LOCATION STAYS APPROXIMATE You select your neighbourhood or postcode, neighbours see roughly how far away you are, not where you live. Too many home-grown tomatoes. Jars of marmalade the family won't finish. Heirloom helps you pass it to a neighbour instead and get something homemade back.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is device support: Skip at 3 against Heirloom's 1. Skip also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
