Most couples choosing between them are really choosing how they want to connect: by sitting down to talk through a prompt, or by staying in touch through the day.

Paired. Its daily question is designed to get you talking, and answers stay hidden until you've both replied, so neither of you simply echoes the other. Its quizzes and therapist-written courses go further on topics like conflict and money.
Amourly doesn't include daily questions or courses. If structured conversation is what you're missing, Paired is the better fit.
Amourly. It's built for ten-second moments: a hug sent from the train, a photo of your lunch, a quick note before a meeting, your mood after a long afternoon. They arrive as notifications and on your partner's widgets, so you feel present without either of you opening an app on a schedule.
Paired works best when you both sit down for a few minutes, usually once a day.
Amourly has seven Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, including your partner's latest note, mood, photo and drawing, your days together and your next special day. Widgets aren't a core part of the Paired experience.
Monthly, Amourly Pro costs $9.99 compared with Paired's listed $14.99. Paired's yearly plans are listed between $39.99 and $79.99; Amourly Pro is $44.99 a year. In both apps one partner's subscription covers the other, so you only pay once as a couple.
Write a few lines between meetings, add a photo or a quick drawing, and it's waiting in their Lovebox. They can reply when they have a minute.

Both apps are free to download. Paired's free version gives you one daily question, and Premium unlocks its full library of questions, quizzes and courses. Amourly's free version includes notes, taps, moods, photos and core widgets with daily limits; Pro removes the limits and adds Live Drawing, custom moods and premium widgets.
In both apps, one partner can subscribe and both of you get the paid features. Prices are US App Store list prices and can vary by region and promotion.
Paired is one of the best-known couples apps. Founded in London in 2019, it is built around a daily question that both partners answer before seeing each other's reply, plus quizzes, games and courses written with relationship therapists.
