What It Is

Between is a couples-only, one-on-one private social and communication app from DLT Partners Inc., designed for communication and memory management in a space “just for two people.” It is not a traditional email or enterprise messaging platform; instead, it combines chat, voice calls, photo and video backup, anniversaries, and a shared calendar into a dedicated couple’s space. It supports iPhone, Android, Windows, and Mac OS.

Core Features

For communication, Between offers text chat, stickers/GIFs, photo and video sharing, note sharing, and free voice calls. The product emphasizes “clear free calls” and the ability to preserve memories even after switching phones. For scheduling, it supports anniversary tracking and a shared calendar, making it suitable for long-distance relationships, shared living arrangements, and anniversary reminders. In terms of coverage, the official website is available in English, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese, though the terms also state that the service may be unavailable depending on geographic location.

Pricing

The official website does not list specific subscription prices or membership tiers in its main content. The terms mention paid content such as in-app currency, in-app items, and stickers, and state that paid content is generally non-refundable after the sale is completed, unless required by law or applicable third-party platform refund policies. This indicates that the app has at least some in-app purchases, but pricing transparency is limited.

Pros and Cons

The main advantages are its focused use case and comprehensive coverage of the communication, memory, and scheduling features couples commonly need. Multi-platform support and a Chinese interface also make it relatively friendly for users in China. The official website provides access to its privacy policy, terms of service, and information security pages. The drawbacks are that it does not disclose technical details such as end-to-end encryption, storage capacity, backup strategy, or message delivery rates. It also does not provide an open API or enterprise integration information. Its user content rights terms are relatively broad, so privacy-conscious users should read them carefully.

Who It’s For

Between is suitable for couples, long-distance partners, and individual users who want to manage chats, photos, anniversaries, and schedules in one place. It is not suitable for business users who need team collaboration, email marketing, customer service messaging channels, SMS gateways, or programmable communication APIs.

Access in China

The available content does not confirm the actual connectivity of between.us or its app in mainland China, the stability of push notifications, or its availability in app stores. The service is hosted on Amazon Web Services and distributed through third-party platforms, so its accessibility in China is assessed as “unknown.”
