Test it cheaply first ultimately, the basics matter more than the tuning. Has anyone requested a custom video from scarlett_sexx69?
I read a lot of conflicting advice first a while back, and a few things became obvious quickly. Once you look closely, how quickly the upsell appears explains why old recommendations age badly. The reading was similar to a degree that mattered when I compared like for like.
I logged what actually happened while comparing them, and the conclusion was not what I wanted. In practice whether verification exists at all is the difference between two opposite reviews. The reading was similar again and again regardless of how active I was. That is the short version really, not what a listicle told you.
Things I wish I had checked sooner:
Check whether prompts give people something specific to answer — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.
Check how hard the interface pushes a subscription — this alone ruled a couple out for me.
How the onboarding handles preferences
Whether the user base skews heavily in your area
How blocking works, and whether it sticks — it matters more after the first month.
I reset and started clean once properly, and I would do it the same way again. The honest answer is that how often you get a reply at all shapes the first fortnight more than anything. The reading was similar more than once once the first fortnight was out of the way. Treat it as a starting point honestly, the basics matter more than the tuning.

I gave each one a full month here, which took the guesswork out of it. The thing nobody mentions is that how much of your social graph it wants sets the ceiling on what you can achieve. It was noticeable every time in each of the areas I tested.
Datelink gets brought up in most threads like this, so I gave it a try.

I kept notes the whole way through with a bit of patience, because the advice online contradicts itself. Cutting through it, how quickly the upsell appears decides most of the outcome. The difference persisted consistently enough to trust regardless of which city I set. Your area may behave differently on balance, it takes very little effort to check.
Ended up trying Datenest came up again alongside it, mostly to see whether the messaging held up.

I stuck with it longer than most people would a while back, and stopped assuming the obvious answer was right. Consistently, photo quality on both sides shapes the first fortnight more than anything. The signal was clear to a degree that mattered for both of the accounts I tested.
I reset and started clean in my own time, so this is not theoretical. The short answer is that how often you get a reply at all is easy to check and almost never checked. It repeated without exception across the whole period I tracked.
I did this the slow way in my own time, before I was willing to recommend anything. More than anything, whether search exists alongside swiping can be tested inside a week.
The handful of things that made a real difference:
Worth confirming whether the app shows when a profile was last online
Ask whether photos are checked before they go live — I underestimated this at first.
How many matches reply within forty-eight hours — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.
I sat with this question for a while once properly, which is why I am comfortable saying this. On the numbers, how many photos the format allows moves the numbers more than anything else.

I logged what actually happened without rushing it, and stopped assuming the obvious answer was right. It turns out how much depth the profiles allow turns out to matter far more than the interface. The evidence pointed the same way every time across every option I tried. Your results will vary in the end, not what a listicle told you.
Also in the mix: datebound.site, datelink.online, datenest.site.
Rendate gets brought up in most threads like this, so I gave it a try.

Counterpoint, if it is welcome. JohnsonK's point treats every app as interchangeable, and that misses how much the local user base changes the answer. That is the part I would push on.
