One payment |
| Free tier | 3 friends | 5 friends |
| Account needed | None | None |
| A creature for each friend | 15 animals, 6 moods | A mascot, but not one each |
| A weekly swipe deck | Yes | No |
Price, tier and feature rows are read from the App Store listing, September 2026. Where a cell says [CHECK] I could not confirm it without installing and paying, so it stays blank. Nothing here is taken from another app’s reviews.
Where UNdrift wins
- •Five friends free instead of three.
- •It puts your last note back in front of you at the next contact. Ciao! keeps your notes on the friend’s timeline, but does not surface the last one on the card yet.
Where Ciao! wins
- •A creature for every friend, with six moods, rather than one mascot for the app.
- •The Sunday deck. One swipe per person, once a week, instead of a list.
- •English, Italian and Spanish, each one written rather than translated.
Which one should you actually get?
This is the honest one. UNdrift and Ciao! want the same thing and refuse the same things, and if five free people is what decides it, go and try UNdrift first. Come back if you want the faces.
