The short version

  • Each has a real cost: HER facebook or Instagram account required for signup, which excludes closeted users or those with safety concerns; Thursday thursday's own App Store listing is now published as 'Thursday Events' by Honeypot Dating Ltd, pivoting the app's stated purpose to city-specific event listings and ticketing rather than the original matching/waitlist dating app, per the developer's own description.
  • They diverge on capability: HER covers Profile Matching, Thursday covers Thursday-Only Access.
