What Ryan Scott described matches my experience of free dating site for married couples almost exactly.
Before committing time to that one, work out how the chat behaves on a weak connection.
Ran that one alongside two other options for a month, tracking how aggressively it pushes credits at you.
If your area is thin, the platform will not fix that, whatever how quickly it starts asking for money looks like.
I would judge the app on whether bans stick or get walked back rather than on the feature list.
That is roughly where I landed on free dating site for married couples after a fair amount of trial and error.
Ended up splitting my time between this and Datedesire for this exact use case.
