They diverge on capability: Disciple covers Native branded apps, HER covers Profile Matching.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Disciple

The entry plan starts at £599 a month, so a community with a few hundred members pays more per head than almost any percentage-fee alternative, and the flat fee only wins above a revenue threshold you should calculate before signing.
Video is metered at 10,000 minutes on the entry plan and 20,000 on Pro, so a community that leans on live streaming will hit overage or a plan upgrade rather than the unlimited storage the marketing implies.
Owning your own App Store listing means owning App Store review, rejections and the annual developer account, and a policy change at Apple becomes your problem rather than the platform vendor's.
Apple and Google still take their cut of in-app purchases regardless of Disciple charging no transaction fee, so the zero percent claim applies to Disciple's share only and not to the total cost of collecting money in-app.
Pricing is in sterling, which introduces exchange rate exposure and, for some buyers, VAT handling that a US-billed competitor would not create.

HER

Facebook or Instagram account required for signup, which excludes closeted users or those with safety concerns
No web version available; mobile-only platform on iOS and Android
Fake profiles and romance scams present on platform despite selfie verification
Limited user base outside major cities; geographic areas without Pride events may have single-digit user pools
Key features like Discover page and unlimited likes are behind paywall with 14-hour swiping limit unless paid
