I researched free dating apps properly rather than reading a top-ten list, and the picture is messier.
I kept notes for a month on the platform because I kept losing track of how granular the visibility controls get.
If you only test one thing on that one, make it whether bans stick or get walked back.
Most of my useful conversations on the app started midweek, which says more about how much control you get over who sees you than about timing.
