# Jigsaw® Dating vs Paira

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Paira at 100% against Jigsaw® Dating's 32%. Paira also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Jigsaw® Dating's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 9) and chart position (#196 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jigsaw® Dating sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days and Paira sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Paira holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jigsaw® Dating has 3.3K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.
