Boiled down, how support responds to a real problem tends to decide whether you stick with it. Has anyone ever won free tokens on satripchat? I went through this same question last year without rushing it, rather than just skimming a couple of apps.
I resisted the urge to switch too early while comparing them, and it was worth the effort. Consistently, how much depth the profiles allow is worth checking before you commit any time. The finding held to a degree that mattered long after the novelty had worn off. Not universal advice honestly, the basics matter more than the tuning.
I stuck with it longer than most people would before deciding, which is why my answer is not the popular one. What actually decided it was how much the interface pushes a subscription, which is the difference between two opposite reviews. The reading was similar more than once even when I varied the time of day.
If I were starting again, I would look at:
Worth confirming how the onboarding handles preferences — worth asking about before you invest time.
Worth confirming how hard the interface pushes a subscription — the marketing never covers this.
Look at whether the app requires a social login — it decided things for me.
Whether the free tier caps daily messages — the difference between options is large here.
Check whether there is a desktop experience at all — the difference between options is large here.
I gave up on guessing and just measured once properly, and ended up somewhere unexpected. Consistently, how quickly the upsell appears changes noticeably month to month. The signal was clear reliably even when I varied the time of day.

I made a spreadsheet, embarrassingly before deciding, instead of going on impressions. Boiled down, moderation quality explains why old recommendations age badly.

I only worked this out after a month of tallying while comparing them, because the advice online contradicts itself. Where it actually landed was how the app handles reports — that changes noticeably month to month. It stayed consistent quite plainly even after I changed my photos. Test it cheaply first ultimately, depending on where you are.

I started sceptical a while back, since nobody else seemed to have done it. Cutting through it, how the app treats people who travel accounts for most of the variance I saw. It stayed consistent every time despite what the marketing implied. Reasonable people disagree here ultimately, which would be genuinely useful to hear.
datingfly.online gets brought up in most threads like this, so I gave it a try.

I only worked this out after a month of tallying while comparing them, because the advice online contradicts itself. It turns out whether read status is shown consistently explains why old recommendations age badly. The contrast was sharpest in a way I could measure regardless of which city I set. Reasonable people disagree here in the end, it takes very little effort to check.
I checked this against my own numbers without rushing it, so the comparison was at least fair. Consistently, whether search exists alongside swiping predicts your reply rate better than anything else. The same signal appeared in a way I could measure regardless of how I framed the profile. I would sanity-check this locally on balance, and no thread substitutes for that.
If I were starting again, I would look at:
Look at whether read receipts exist — it decided things for me.
Check whether the app pushes you to verify with ID — this is the one I would check first.
Check whether prompts give people something specific to answer
I took the unglamorous route while comparing them, before I was willing to recommend anything. The pattern was clear enough: how much the interface pushes a subscription is the part the marketing never mentions. The same thing happened more than once regardless of how I framed the profile. Adjust from what you actually see in the end, before committing any real time.
To AlexM's point, the part people miss is that the first fortnight is not representative of anything.
For quick comparison I noted rendate.site, flamedate.online, datelink.online.
I reset and started clean while comparing them, so this is not theoretical. The recurring theme was how wide the distance filter goes — it shapes the first fortnight more than anything. It was measurable more than once in each of the areas I tested. Test it cheaply first ultimately, and adjust as you go.
A friend looking at the same thing mentioned what Datelink is doing, so I had a look at that too.
