Boiled down, how blocking actually behaves becomes obvious only after a month. Are there any plenty of fish dating site free features worth using?
I tracked this rather than trusting impressions once properly, so take it as tested rather than assumed. The honest answer is that how long a match stays open tends to decide whether you stick with it.
I made a spreadsheet, embarrassingly a while back, since nobody else seemed to have done it. The short answer is that whether notifications can be tuned is the first thing I would look at now. It repeated again and again in replies rather than in match counts. I would not overthink it for what it is worth, whether others found the same thing.
What I would check before committing any time:
Look at whether there is any verification step at all — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.
Ask whether you can search rather than only swipe — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.
Check whether conversations sync across devices — this is the one I would check first.
Find out how the ranking treats a brand-new account — this alone ruled a couple out for me.
I benchmarked it against what I used before with a bit of patience, before forming any view. What kept coming up was the size of the local pool, which is where the real differences show up.

I paid attention to the details this time on this, so the comparison was at least fair. Consistently, how consistent match quality is week to week explains most of the complaints here. It played out the same way again and again even when I varied the time of day. Worth testing yourself on balance, the basics matter more than the tuning.
For what it is worth, rendate.site came up more than once while I was reading around this.

I did this the slow way before deciding, so this is not theoretical. Once you look closely, how wide the distance filter goes can be tested inside a week. The same signal appeared every time even accounting for luck.

I ran this for a couple of months over a few months, so the comparison was at least fair. Once you look closely, how consistent match quality is week to week matters far more in smaller places. That difference held up without exception on both the free and the paid side.

I looked at this from a few angles before deciding, and the numbers told a clearer story than I did. What kept coming up was how the free tier is gated, which changes noticeably month to month. The effect showed up consistently enough to trust even accounting for luck. That is the short version honestly, so treat this as a starting point.
Not a recommendation as such, but this Luvdate thread is the other name that keeps surfacing.

I tried the obvious options first before deciding, instead of going on impressions. Looking back, the share of accounts that are dormant sets the ceiling on what you can achieve. The same signal appeared reliably for both of the accounts I tested. I would check it before committing for what it is worth, whether others found the same thing.
Others in the same bracket: datingfly.online, luvdate.site, rendate.site.

Going to be the dissenting voice here. treating all upsells as predatory ignores that some features are genuinely worth it. That is my honest read of it.
