Quick answer
Choose Paired if you want a guided daily question, quizzes and exercises written with relationship experts; its Premium is $79.99 a year per couple. Choose LoveYug if you'd rather play: seven two-player games on one phone or live from two, plus status and mood widgets, free to start with an optional Premium.
Paired and LoveYug both get two people talking, from opposite ends. Paired starts with a question a day and builds towards insights and exercises. LoveYug starts with play, a poisoned plate, a code to crack, a race to a word, and lets the conversation follow. Many couples want a bit of both.

What your partner sees in LoveYug
Only what you share
A widget shows the status, mood or plans you picked in LoveYug, and nothing it worked out on its own. It doesn't read your location, your messages or your other apps.
Only your partner
Your status and mood go to the one person you paired with. Unpair and their widget stops showing you.
Statuses end on their own
A status comes with an end time. When it's over the tile says it ended, so “Gym” doesn't sit on their screen all evening.
No mood advice
Vibe says what's on the tile and stops. It never tells your partner what your mood means or what to do about it.
