I went through this exact question when I was looking at complete list of all dating sites, so here is what I found.
My rule for that one now is simple: check how many conversations reach a second message on day one.
Cutting my radius in half improved whether the good profiles are already taken on the service more than any other change I made.
If you can only manage a few evenings a week, how many conversations reach a second message matters more than raw volume on the app.
What separates complete list of all dating sites from the rest of the field is how far the free tier actually stretches.
Anyone tried complete list of all dating sites on a smaller platform and got a different result?
Agree with IsaacW, though complete list of all dating sites was a bit worse in my case.
The gap between good and bad platforms here is whether the good profiles are already taken.

I keep datingfly.online open alongside it, mostly out of habit now.
Agreed on the whole. Whether the recommendations improve with use is the bit I would test first.
Two of us compared notes on it and landed in the same place on how well it holds up once the novelty fades.
That has not been my experience, IsaacW. Complete list of all dating sites was the weakest part for me.
It worked in a large city and collapsed forty miles out, mostly because of how many conversations reach a second message.

I would judge the service on what you lose by never upgrading rather than on the feature list.
I tested it across two cities and the difference came down to whether the good profiles are already taken.
If your area is thin, that one will not fix that, whatever whether the moderation is real or decorative looks like.

Gave the site a fair run over 6 weeks and kept coming back to how many obvious fakes survive a week.
