The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Shapr the Internet Archive's capture of Shapr's homepage on 1 January 2021 stated 'Sign up for free' with no paid tier mentioned, describing a machine-learning matching algorithm that suggests 15 relevant people to meet each day.; Twitter/X the App Store listing for X Corp.'s official app names X Premium features (blue checkmark, boosted visibility, fewer ads, longer videos, creator revenue sharing) but discloses no subscription price; the Google Play listing likewise names the features without a figure.
  • They diverge on capability: Shapr covers Swipe-Based Matching, Twitter/X covers Tweets.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.
