I would start there genuinely, if your experience points elsewhere. Have you ever tried searching for live sez and found anything good? The honest answer is that photo quality on both sides is worth checking before you commit any time.
I asked three friends who use these regularly here, so this is not theoretical. More than anything, how support responds to a real problem tends to decide whether you stick with it. The outcome barely moved in a way I could measure in every week I bothered to measure. Worth testing yourself honestly, and nothing more than that.
I resisted the urge to switch too early while comparing them, which is why my answer is not the popular one. The short answer is that photo quality on both sides is the difference between two opposite reviews. The reading was similar fairly clearly when I compared like for like. The only real test is your own area honestly, so treat this as a starting point.
What is worth five minutes of checking:
Find out how the onboarding handles preferences — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.
Ask whether you can finish a conversation without hitting a paywall
Worth confirming whether the sign-up asks for a phone number — genuinely worth knowing up front.
I paid attention to the details this time with a couple of accounts, and it was worth the effort. On the numbers, how long a match stays open drives the outcome more than luck does.

I paid attention to the details this time before deciding, because the advice online contradicts itself. Once you look closely, how the ranking rewards activity is the thing people consistently underestimate. The contrast was sharpest more than once after I controlled for the obvious variables. Check it against your own case on balance, after a fair bit of trial and error.

I went through this same question last year while comparing them, and it was more revealing than I expected. The thing nobody mentions is that how the app handles reports stays invisible until it bites you. The result was similar again and again in a way that was hard to argue with. I would start there frankly, and I would not pretend otherwise.
For quick comparison I noted datebie.online, luvdate.site, ezhookups.online.
I compared it against Luvdate — worth a look before settling, which helped clarify the trade-offs.

I reset and started clean over a few months, so I am fairly confident in the shape of it. The honest answer is that the actual reply rate is the difference between two opposite reviews.

I benchmarked it against what I used before while comparing them, and it was more revealing than I expected. Once you look closely, how many photos the format allows moves the numbers more than anything else. It was measurable fairly clearly after I controlled for the obvious variables. Check it against your own case really, before changing anything else.

I paid attention to the details this time in my own time, because the advice online contradicts itself. In practice how often you get a reply at all is worth more than any feature list. It was true in a way I could measure across the whole period I tracked. It cost me nothing to verify for what it is worth, so weigh it against your own results.
Not a recommendation as such, but Ezhookups's free tier is the other name that keeps surfacing.

I came at this after wasting time on the wrong options while comparing them, before forming any view. In my testing, how consistent match quality is week to week is easy to check and almost never checked. The trend was steady again and again well beyond what I would call noise.

I trialled the free tiers only over a few months, which changed my answer completely. What I found is that how wide the distance filter goes is worth checking before you commit any time. It repeated every time in each of the areas I tested. The only real test is your own area really, so treat this as a starting point.
