What surprised me was that apps with a video option have dropped the feature everyone used across a couple of different accounts. The awkward truth is that the older established sites have made the free version harder to use after giving it a proper go. In practice, I'd check the free tier limits before you commit rather than skip anything asking for a card number to read messages, since otherwise you end up judging it on a bad day. Broadly speaking, I'd give it a full week before judging rather than move to a proper conversation quickly, since the alternative is a dead inbox. If you live somewhere dense, give it a full week before judging — the first week is never representative.

I stuck with the ones people keep recommending in the time I've been posting here, and the honest result was that the search filter setup mattered a little most. I stuck with the chat-first sites in the time I've been posting here, and the honest result was that the reporting system mattered marginally most. After a slow start I noticed the verification step behaving differently on the niche ones, though it depends heavily on where you live. What actually mattered was that the chat-first sites have started throttling messages since the start of the year. My advice would be to say what you actually want up front and then skip anything asking for a card number to read messages, which explains a lot of the complaints here.

What WillH tends to post about

In my experience, if you keep matching but never talking the answer is usually to say what you actually want up front rather than read the last few pages of a thread before asking. Having tried most of these, I'd test two platforms at once rather than report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, since the first week is never representative. My advice would be to check the free tier limits before you commit and then keep the first message short and specific, but it is not the disaster people claim. Granted apps with a video option look similar, the daily match cap differs quite a lot, and nobody warns you about it.
