I did this the slow way here, and the results surprised me. Are there free lds dating sites for young single adults?
I looked at what changed since last year in my own time, before I was willing to recommend anything. Every time I compared them, how granular the filters are accounts for most of the variance I saw. The result was similar without exception on both the free and the paid side. Worth testing yourself really, and adjust as you go.
I resisted the urge to switch too early over a few months, before I trusted my own conclusion. The pattern was clear enough: the honesty of the pricing page is easy to check and almost never checked. It was true every time regardless of how I framed the profile.
Where I would focus your attention:
Whether browsing costs anything — the difference between options is large here.
Worth confirming how the app handles duplicate accounts — the marketing never covers this.
Worth confirming whether the privacy policy is readable — genuinely worth knowing up front.
I tracked this rather than trusting impressions over a few months, and ended up somewhere unexpected. The thing nobody mentions is that how the ranking rewards activity quietly determines how long you stay. It tracked reliably regardless of which city I set.

I came at this after wasting time on the wrong options with a couple of accounts, and it was worth the effort. Cutting through it, how often you get a reply at all explains why old recommendations age badly.

I spent longer on this than I meant to once properly, and the results surprised me. Strip out the noise and whether verification exists at all sets the ceiling on what you can achieve. It was consistent consistently enough to trust when I compared like for like.
Worth adding Datebound to the shortlist if you are testing this properly.
this Rendate thread gets brought up in most threads like this, so I gave it a try.

I ran two at a time for four weeks each on this, instead of going on impressions. Cutting through it, how much of your social graph it wants shapes the first fortnight more than anything.
Someone in another thread pointed me at Souldate came up again, which was at least worth a look.
luvdate.site gets brought up in most threads like this, so I gave it a try.

I ran this for a couple of months in my own time, and I would do it the same way again. More than anything, how the app treats people who travel turns out to matter far more than the interface.
I did this the slow way here, which is why my answer is not the popular one. The honest answer is that photo quality on both sides quietly determines how long you stay. It held steady fairly clearly in every week I bothered to measure.
I only worked this out after a month of tallying on this, and the conclusion was not what I wanted. Consistently, how the app handles reports predicts your reply rate better than anything else. The evidence pointed the same way reliably on every account I set up. It cost me nothing to verify really, so weigh it against your own results.
Concretely, the factors worth weighing:
Whether there is a web version as well as an app — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.
How it performs on a slow connection — this is where the free tiers diverge.
Look at how long a conversation stays available after a match — the difference between options is large here.
I tracked this rather than trusting impressions before deciding, so take it as tested rather than assumed. The short answer is that how the app handles reports matters more than the brand name. It came out the same without exception regardless of how I framed the profile.
Building on what DakotaS said: the pool size in your own city decides most of the outcome.

I reset and started clean in my own time, and a few things became obvious quickly. Strip out the noise and whether messaging is capped matters far more in smaller places. It played out the same way reliably in a way that was hard to argue with.
I gave this a genuinely fair run over a few months, and it was more revealing than I expected. Whichever option you pick, how support responds to a real problem predicts your reply rate better than anything else.
My experience by category:
What separated the usable ones from the rest:
Worth confirming whether the user base skews heavily in your area — I would treat this as a dealbreaker.
Check whether matches expire after a set time — it matters more after the first month.
Check whether the bio field is long enough to be useful — genuinely worth knowing up front.
Whether you can undo an accidental swipe — most apps are quiet about this.
I went through this same question last year once properly, which made the differences much easier to see. What kept coming up was how many photos the format allows, which is worth more than any feature list.
Also in the mix: datelink.online, souldate.site, datebound.site.
