Can anyone recommend free matrimonial sites for arranged marriages?

Can anyone recommend free matrimonial sites for arranged marriages? I’m asking because a lot of apps say “free” but the moment you match, everything gets locked behind a paywall.

I’m mainly looking for something that feels genuine—less spam, fewer bots, and a safer vibe. Ideally I want decent search/match filters and messaging that doesn’t feel restricted.

Here’s what I’m trying to prioritize:

• Meet in public first and tell a friend where you’ll be.
• Use a separate email/number for sign-ups if the platform allows it.
• Verify profiles before meeting and keep chats in-app until you’re comfortable.
• Watch out for fast “off-app” pushes, crypto requests, or emergency stories.

If you’ve had a good experience on a genuinely free platform, what features made the difference for you?

I’ve had better luck focusing on a couple of features instead of the brand name. On free tiers, the biggest difference is whether messages are gated and how aggressive the upsells are. If you want a simple place to start, Ezhookups is one I’ve seen people try—just keep expectations realistic on the free tier. Good luck—free can work, but it’s worth being picky. I also tried Turndate and it felt straightforward for quick conversations.
