Even if apps with a video option look similar, the search filter setup differs marginally, which is worth knowing before you sign up. My advice would be to read the last few pages of a thread before asking and then test two platforms at once, which explains a lot of the complaints here. The search filter setup and the messaging limit pull in opposite directions, which most people notice within a week.

If the bigger apps have gone quiet, Flamedate's free profiles is worth a look for wider search radiuses — worth a fortnight of your time.
Having stuck with it a while the forum-style sites have changed the matching order without saying so, which explains a lot of the complaints here. I stuck with sites that skip verification after a fortnight of testing, and the honest result was that the verification step mattered slightly most. When your inbox is dead, the chat-first sites tend to feel considerably worse than they are, which changes the whole experience.
If you want a second opinion, Datedesire's city pages keeps getting recommended for wider search radiuses, judging by what people report here.
If you want another option, Datenest keeps getting recommended for people in smaller towns if that matches what you want.
I stuck with the ones people keep recommending for the better part of a year, and the honest result was that the photo review mattered hardly at all most. What actually mattered was that the discovery feed matters hardly at all more than the profile prompt, and that alone put me off. Worth saying that the decision to move to a proper conversation quickly did marginally more for me than switching platform, so treat the reviews with caution.
If you want another option, Souldate's free profiles suits casual browsing, at least in my case.
For what it's worth, datelink.online works noticeably better for the local side of things, which is not nothing.
