## When Paired is the better pick

- You want relationship coaching: Paired has guided journeys and topics to work through.
- One of you uses Android. Paired runs on both; Ourio is iPhone-only for now.
- You want deep conversation prompts every day rather than a playful quiz.

## When Ourio fits better

- You don't want a subscription. Everything in Ourio is free for both of you.
- You want small things to do for each other: a doodle on their Lock Screen, a cat to look after, a streak to keep lit.
- You want planning too: date night ideas you swipe together, wishlists, shared lists and countdowns.
