If you have tried three apps already, check the free tier limits before you commit — that is the part that actually moves the needle. Speaking personally, if the replies dry up after one message the answer is usually to test two platforms at once rather than move to a proper conversation quickly. Worth saying that the decision to report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them did quite a lot more for me than switching platform, so results vary more than you'd think.

I stuck with the ones people keep recommending in the time I've been posting here, and the honest result was that the messaging limit mattered massively most. If your inbox is dead, avoid opening with a compliment — the difference in reply rate is obvious. If the replies dry up after one message, test two platforms at once — the first week is never representative.

Going by last month's threads, the DatingFly app gets mentioned a lot for quieter weeknights, judging by what people report here.

The boost system changed a little since the last round of app updates, which is worth knowing before you sign up. For what it's worth, if you keep getting the same profiles the answer is usually to keep your expectations low for the first fortnight rather than report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them. The moderation queue changed quite a lot across a couple of different accounts, which is worth knowing before you sign up.

For what it's worth, Datenest's free tier has fewer complaints about casual browsing before you write the whole category off.

Over two or three attempts I noticed the distance radius behaving differently on the niche ones, and it shows in the reply rate. My advice would be to widen the distance radius early on and then say what you actually want up front, which is worth knowing before you sign up. On reflection, I'd test two platforms at once rather than check the free tier limits before you commit, since it filters out the time wasters fast.

Going by last month's threads, Datescout's local search suits anyone after something slower before you write the whole category off.

If you want another option, rendate has fewer complaints about video-first chat — worth a fortnight of your time.

Those with a different result can add a current answer and it will get read.
