While apps with a strict photo policy look similar, the reporting system differs slightly, but only if you stick with it. Although people disagree here, the step that matters most is to test two platforms at once: that is the part that actually moves the needle. Judging by my own inbox, if you are after something serious the answer is usually to move to a proper conversation quickly rather than keep the first message short and specific. From the threads I've read, I'd move to a proper conversation quickly rather than write a profile that gives someone something to reply to, since it filters out the time wasters fast.

Realistically, if you are in a smaller town the answer is usually to move to a proper conversation quickly rather than check the free tier limits before you commit. If you are new to this, keep the first message short and specific — you learn more from one real chat than fifty swipes. My advice would be to move to a proper conversation quickly and then avoid opening with a compliment, so results vary more than you'd think. The free tier changed marginally throughout most of last year, which changes the whole experience.
