I would judge singles websites free of charge for local on how granular the visibility controls get rather than on the feature list.
Out of roughly 50 matches on singles websites free of charge for local, 3 turned into an actual conversation.
If your area is thin, that one will not fix that, whatever how long a bad account stays up looks like.
Where the platform stands or falls is whether you can hold a conversation without paying.

Your mileage on singles websites free of charge for local will vary by city more than by anything else.
