Spent about two months comparing options around dating apps that pay you for your data before settling on anything.
Ran the app alongside two other options for a month, tracking what the free ceiling looks like in practice.
Where dating apps that pay you for your data stands or falls is how far the free tier actually stretches.
The most useful filter on the platform was recent activity, not distance, and it changed how the chat behaves on a weak connection completely.
Unless you're in a major metro, expect whether the active count matches the claimed count to be the limiting factor on that one.
The reason I stopped recommending some of these is how the pricing behaves once you are invested.
What separates the platform from the rest of the field is whether a phone number is genuinely required.
Anyone tried dating apps that pay you for your data on a smaller platform and got a different result?
