# Couples apps for iPhone, compared.

The best couples app depends on what you want from it. Paired and Agapé are built around daily questions, Between is a private messenger, Locket and Widgetable live in widgets, Cupla is a shared planner. Ourio, the app this site is for, is a free mix: a shared cat, Lock Screen drawings, games and a planner, with no subscription.

We make Ourio, so read this as our view. Prices and features come from each app's US App Store page and website, checked November 9, 2026 (Couple Joy and Candle on November 13, 2026); sources are at the bottom.
