The apps people are leaving, and what fits instead.
Each guide says what actually happened to the app, checked on a stated date, and which alternatives fit which need. Ours is on the list where it belongs and off it where it does not.
Pi is online, free, and shipping again: Inflection relaunched it on July 21, 2026 with Pi Journeys. The verified status, and the alternatives that fit.
Shimmer costs $240 per 4 weeks in 2026 for weekly 1:1 ADHD coaching. What the money buys, the conditional guarantee, and who should pick something else.
Every Replika alternative that will not drift romantic, compared side by side: Kin, Nomi, Tolan, Pi, and Blue, with prices verified July 29, 2026.

Every real Paired alternative in 2026 with verified prices: Evergreen, Agape, Flamme, Coral, Lasting, OurRitual, and when you need something else entirely.
Lasting's Gottman-informed curriculum is still good. Its app has not been updated since February 2025. A dated review from a competitor.
