Have you ever struggled to figure out what gift to purchase for someone? Have you ever received a gift you didn’t really want? This doesn’t have to be the case anymore – not with No Bad Surprises that is. Easily create a list of items you wish people would buy for you and then share it with them, whether they use the app or not. The app also lets you know if someone is going to get you something (although you won’t be told who specifically is getting it for you). We have designed the app to be as simple as possible, so you can just list what you want to get, and your family or friends can easily view and mark items as purchased – No advanced computer or phone skills needed. There are more advanced features such as adding a detailed description, images or links about the items you want, but if you want to use them. • Create unlimited items • Share your item list with anyone (even those that do not have the app) • Find out when someone has purchased an item on your list (but not who) • Provide details about the items in your list (if you want) • Ensure you never get a bad surprise again

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ModeSens at weekly against No Bad Surprises's every 2 months. ModeSens also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 1). No Bad Surprises's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
