RattleStork advertises itself as “free for now” but has in-app purchases set up in the store, and one review speaks of “free atm”. So features may cost money in future. Our platform is permanently and fully free.

How does RattleStork differ from our platform?

In money, country focus, and operator. We stay permanently free, while RattleStork is “free for now” and has in-app purchases set up. We're geared to Austria and the FMedG; RattleStork is set up worldwide. And behind us stands a non-profit initiative instead of a company. Both share the core idea: direct messaging without forced matching.

Is there an Austrian alternative to RattleStork?

Yes. Our platform covers the same idea but is geared to Austria, permanently free, and non-profit, with clear verification.

The difference in brief

RattleStork does a lot in a modern, inclusive way, much like us. Two things set us apart. First, money. RattleStork is “free for now” but has in-app purchases set up, and one review even calls it “free atm”. We stay permanently free because we're non-profit. Second, focus: we gear everything to Austria and the Reproductive Medicine Act, while RattleStork is set up worldwide and doesn't go into it. What “verified profiles” means exactly on RattleStork also stays open in the store listing.

What RattleStork is good for

A modern app for Android and iOS, plus a web platform.
Expressly inclusive: for LGBTQ+, single people, and couples.
Direct browsing and messaging without forced matching.
Supports known donation, at-home insemination, and co-parenting; the provider says no data is passed to third parties.

What we're good for

Permanently free instead of “free for now” with in-app purchases set up.
Geared to Austria and the FMedG, explained in plain language.
Transparent, multi-tier verification instead of unspecific “verified profiles”.
Non-profit, with no advertising and no trackers.

Who does what suit?

you want an app usable worldwide, are open to co-parenting, and the Austrian focus doesn't matter to you.

We fit if …

you're searching in Austria, don't want to pay anything long-term, and value clear verification and a non-profit operator.
