BeSeen vs the other couples apps

Each page below puts BeSeen next to one other couples app and says which couple each one suits. The short version: Paired and Agapé are daily question apps, built to get you talking. Waffle is a shared notebook for writing together. BeSeen is a mood journal for two: you check in with how you feel and choose what your partner sees. Pick the habit you want first, then compare price, platform, and privacy.

We make BeSeen. All competitor facts checked September 2026.

How to choose

  1. Start with the daily habit. A question app gives you something to talk about. A shared notebook gives you somewhere to write. A mood check-in tells you how your partner is doing before you have to ask. Most couples are missing one of these more than the others, and the right app follows from that.
  2. Make sure you can both install it. BeSeen runs on iPhone only, iOS 16.0 or later. Paired, Agapé, and Waffle are on Android too, so if one of you uses Android, BeSeen won’t work for both of you and those are the ones to compare.
  3. Price it for two. Whether one subscription covers both of you matters as much as the sticker price, and not every listing says. Apps also show different prices to different people, so treat the prices below as ranges. BeSeen is free to try: the solo journal needs no account, and connecting with your partner and sharing moods and notes are free with an account. BeSeen+ adds photos and voice, the shared canvas and their mood on your home screen, after a 7-day free trial. One BeSeen+ subscription covers both partners.
  4. Read the privacy fine print. A couples app holds some of the most personal things you write. The privacy row sums up what each app’s App Store label or privacy policy says, and each comparison quotes the details.
