Looking for a DateTrack alternative?
Let's be upfront twice over: DateTrack is a genuinely good free app, and we make the alternative this page is about. So here's the comparison we'd want to read ourselves — what DateTrack does well, where people tend to outgrow it, and who should actually switch.
First, credit where it's due
DateTrack is completely free — no subscription, no ads — and that matters. It gives you a native iPhone and Android app, pattern analytics (how often you date, what you spend, how long connections last, which red and green flags recur), and a stack of compatibility quizzes covering personality types, love languages, and astrology. For a data-curious dater paying nothing, that's a real product, not a demo.
If that describes what you want — charts about your dating life, at zero cost — you can stop reading here and keep using it with our blessing. An alternative is only worth switching to if it solves a problem you actually have.
Where trackers stop being enough
The pattern we hear from people who switch isn't "the charts were wrong." It's that the charts answered a question they'd stopped asking. After a few months, you don't really need a graph to tell you how often you go out — you need to walk into Thursday's date remembering that she's presenting to her board this week, that he's three weeks into having the dog, that the last conversation ended on a story worth picking back up.
That's a different job. Analytics summarize what happened; a relationship memory brings the right specific thing back at the right moment. One is a rearview mirror, the other is showing up like you were paying attention — which, in the end, is the thing that changes how dates go.

DateTrack details are as published by DateTrack at the time of writing and can change — check their pages before deciding.
Who should pick which
Stay on DateTrack if the analytics genuinely motivate you, you want a native app icon on your home screen, or free-forever is the deciding factor. Those are three good reasons, and switching would gain you little.
Try AfterMatch if what you actually want is to stop mixing people up and to show up prepared — the right detail surfaced before the next date rather than a chart after it. The free plan covers two connections and a monthly taste of the AI briefs, so you can run it alongside DateTrack and see which one you still open in a month.
One honest caveat: there's no importer. Your DateTrack history stays in DateTrack, and you'd start AfterMatch fresh — which, for a journal about the people you're seeing right now, matters less than it sounds.
Run them side by side, free
Two connections, core memory and moments, and a monthly taste of the AI briefs — free, no card needed. Keep whichever app you still open in a month.
Weighing more than these two? The full dating journal app comparison covers DaterGraph, Revoir, Dateforce, and the no-app option too.
Common questions
Is DateTrack free?
Yes — at the time of writing DateTrack is completely free, with no subscription and no ads, which is a genuine point in its favor. If free-forever is your deciding factor and its analytics style suits you, it's a fine choice and you don't need an alternative.
What is the main difference between DateTrack and AfterMatch?
The lens. DateTrack summarizes your dating life as data — charts about frequency, spend, and recurring flags. AfterMatch is organized around people: one private page per person, and an AI brief that resurfaces the right details before your next date. One looks backward at patterns, the other helps you show up prepared. Plenty of people would honestly prefer each.
Can I import my DateTrack history into AfterMatch?
No — there's no importer, and we'd rather say that plainly than let you find out after switching. You'd start AfterMatch fresh with the people you're seeing now. For a journal about current connections that matters less than it sounds, but your DateTrack history would stay in DateTrack.
Does AfterMatch have a mobile app?
AfterMatch is a web app rather than an App Store download — it works in the browser on any phone or computer, and you can add it to your home screen like an app. If a native app icon from the store is important to you, that's a real difference and DateTrack has it today.
Remember the people, not just the numbers
One private page per person, and the right details back in front of you before the next date. That's the whole idea.
