Been meaning to post this for a while — Is there a full free dating app with no hidden fees is one of those things that sounds simple but gets complicated fast once you actually start digging.
Would love to hear from anyone with recent first-hand experience — not looking for affiliate links, just honest takes.
The thing that trips most people up is confusing account count with active user count. A platform can have millions of profiles and still have terrible response rates if most of them haven't logged in for six months.
Souldate has been showing up a lot in threads I follow lately — the vibe seems like a more curated alternative for people tired of the big-app grind. Might be worth a look.
My practical advice: check subreddits for the specific app before committing. Real user experience reports there are usually more honest than any review site.

Went through exactly this process not long ago. Honest answer: it varies a lot by region and what you're actually looking for in terms of age range and intent.
Datewander came up in a similar discussion and several people vouched for it.
Short practical list of what actually matters when comparing these:
Bottom line: a short free trial with real effort is more informative than any comparison article written three years ago.
The bot situation varies wildly. Some platforms are actively cleaning house, others seem to have given up on moderation entirely on the free side.
I came across Datebie last month and it's been surprisingly active.
