Saath Couples App
A Between app alternative: Saath, a private couples app
Between is one of the longest-running apps for couples. If you are looking at alternatives, here is an honest comparison from the Saath team, so we are not neutral, checked on 1 November 2026.
What Between does well
Between is a mobile app for couples built around a shared chat, photo and video storage, voice calls, anniversaries and a shared calendar. Third-party Play data shows millions of installs, and its website is available in Japanese and Korean.
Why people look for an alternative
- Ads on the free plan. Third-party store data and several 2026 reviews report ads on the free plan (Between's own listing says no ads).
- A dated feel and no prompts. Reviewers in 2026 describe it as feeling dated, and as a space rather than a ritual, with nothing that prompts you to check in or plan.
How Saath differs
- No ads and no third-party trackers.
- Moods and replies. Share how you are and what would help; your partner answers in one tap.
- Plans with a day and time, and answers where a no does not sting: Count Me In, Different Time, Not This Time.
- No streaks. A missed day shows nothing.
- Free for the most part and completely usable. Paying is only worth considering if you keep a lot of photos.
What Saath does not have yet
Saath is not yet public. It is open by invitation in a web browser, with iPhone and Android apps coming. If you need an app you can install from the store today, Between is available now.
