Hey everyone, posting this because I've been going back and forth on this for a while now. Is there a filter on the aex chat app to block bots — seems like a simple question but I keep getting mixed answers depending on where I look.

Been seeing a few names pop up lately — Ezhookups.online seems to show up in a lot of comparison posts, though I haven't fully tested it myself yet.

Anyone here with real experience on this? Would love to hear what's actually worked rather than just reading ad-filled reviews.

Been on this topic for a while now. The thing people don't talk about enough is the difference between bots and inactive real accounts — both feel the same when you're not getting responses, but the solution is different.

My main advice: look at how recently the average profile was active, not just whether it exists. Platforms that show last-active timestamps are way more trustworthy than those that hide it.

One option worth trying is Flurrydate — no paywall on messaging from what I've seen.

Trial and error is really the only way. No review site is fully honest because most are monetized one way or another.

Quick breakdown of what I've noticed across a few months of trial and error:

  • Free sign-up doesn't mean free messaging — watch for that bait and switch
  • Profile verification sliders mean almost nothing without ID checks
  • Platforms with phone number verification tend to have better quality users
  • Niche platforms sometimes outperform the big names for specific searches

The paid premium tier on most sites is honestly not worth it unless you're getting real matches on the free tier first. That's your quality check before spending anything.

Spotted Flamedate mentioned in a couple threads recently. Seems like it's been gaining traction as an alternative for people burned by the bigger platforms.

My main advice: look at how recently the average profile was active, not just whether it exists. Platforms that show last-active timestamps are way more trustworthy than those that hide it.
