5 Couples App Alternatives


Flamme - The Couples App


We might be a bit biased in saying this, but if you're looking for an alternative to Official with a more playful vibe and equally impressive features, then Flamme will definitely catch your eye. Both apps offer couples a daily question to answer with their partner, revealing new and intriguing thoughts, beliefs, and preferences. On the Flamme app, these questions are organized into categories like communication, sex & intimacy, work, family, and fun, covering a wide array of topics that couples might not typically explore. The best part is that you can't see your partner's answer to a question unless you respond, fostering curiosity and ensuring both partners are accountable for sharing. Additionally, both apps excel at making discovery and communication enjoyable with quiz games that couples can play anytime to connect with each other.


Unique Features:

  • AI Love Coach: Access personalized support at any time of the day.

  • Feelings & In The Mood: Track your partner's emotions throughout the day.

  • Date Ideas & Planner: Explore a curated selection of exciting date night activities and plan the perfect day for them.

  • Hearts & Farts: Send quick notifications to let your partner know they're on your mind (sure to make them smile!😀).


Cost: $9.99/month or $29.99/year
