I ran two at a time for four weeks each once properly, because the advice online contradicts itself. Across all of them, how blocking actually behaves drives the outcome more than luck does. It became obvious fairly clearly on every account I set up.

Getting more out of your profile in Costa Rica

I did the comparison properly with a couple of accounts, and it held up across all of them. Boiled down, the size of the local pool becomes obvious only after a month. It played out the same way fairly clearly across the whole period I tracked. Test it cheaply first on balance, after a fair bit of trial and error.

Concretely, the factors worth weighing:

Look at whether the user base skews heavily in your area — the difference between options is large here.
How the app orders your inbox — worth asking about before you invest time.
Whether you can search rather than only swipe
Whether the bio field is long enough to be useful — this alone ruled a couple out for me.
Worth confirming how many prompts the profile format offers

Before you meet someone

I compared several at once on this, which is why I am comfortable saying this. In my testing, moderation quality is where the real differences show up. The gap was widest more than once across a reasonable sample. Your mileage may differ on balance, and no thread substitutes for that.
