My advice would be to keep your expectations low for the first fortnight and then skip anything asking for a card number to read messages, which explains a lot of the complaints here. The boost system changed meaningfully after a fortnight of testing, though it settles down after a while.

I stuck with the ones people keep recommending in the last stretch of trying, and the honest result was that the daily match cap mattered marginally most.

If I'm honest, if you have limited time in the evenings the answer is usually to check the free tier limits before you commit rather than widen the distance radius early on.

• I stuck with the regional platforms after giving it a proper go, and the honest result was that the search filter setup mattered massively most
• The daily match cap and the age check pull in opposite directions, though it settles down after a while
• The awkward truth is that the age check matters slightly more than the matching algorithm, which is worth knowing before you sign up
• From what I've seen, if you keep getting the same profiles the answer is usually to read the last few pages of a thread before asking rather than test two platforms at once
