Noah Harris covered most of it. The bit I would add on Seeking is below.
The reason I stopped recommending some of these is whether the active count matches the claimed count.
Luvdate (luvdate.site) came up when I asked the same question last year.
Short version on Seeking: it depends far more on your area than on the brand name.
I logged into the app at different times of day to get a read on how much of the base is genuinely looking.
What decided it for me with it was how well it holds up once the novelty fades.
Turning off read receipts made the site far less stressful, though it did nothing for whether the rules get applied evenly.
If you care about how much of the base is genuinely looking, that alone should decide whether that one is worth it.
After a few weeks on that one the only question left was how granular the visibility controls get.
The gap between good and bad platforms here is how the match quality holds up past the first day.
The thing that finally moved the needle on that one was being specific about what the subscription actually unlocks.
Has anyone got Seeking working properly outside a major city?
