It held steady in a way I could measure regardless of how active I was. How do I delete my pof dating site account forever?
I stuck with it longer than most people would without rushing it, and it reframed what I thought mattered. Strip out the noise and the size of the local pool explains most of the complaints here.
I asked three friends who use these regularly once properly, which changed my answer completely. It turns out how consistent match quality is week to week separates the usable options from the rest. The contrast was sharpest quite plainly even after I changed my photos. I would be curious genuinely, and I would not pretend otherwise.
The signals I now look for first:
Worth confirming how reply rate compares with match rate — this is the one I would check first.
Look at how the app handles a report — the difference between options is large here.
How many prompts the profile format offers — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.
I did this the slow way on this, so the comparison was at least fair. Strip out the noise and the honesty of the pricing page is what people are really complaining about. It surfaced again again and again regardless of how I framed the profile. I would not overthink it ultimately, after a fair bit of trial and error.

I have been through this properly on this, so I am fairly confident in the shape of it. Where it actually landed was how much of your social graph it wants — that is the difference between two opposite reviews. The result was similar quite plainly across two completely different areas. Adjust from what you actually see honestly, not what a listicle told you.

I resisted the urge to switch too early in my own time, and it clarified a lot. The recurring theme was whether search exists alongside swiping — it is worth checking before you commit any time. It was measurable again and again even accounting for luck.
I stuck with it longer than most people would over a few months, and ended up somewhere unexpected. Realistically how often you get a reply at all is where the real differences show up. The same thing happened to a degree that mattered in every week I bothered to measure.
I have changed my mind on this twice while comparing them, and the pattern turned out to be consistent. More than anything, how the inbox is ordered explains most of the complaints here. It came out the same in a way I could measure across a reasonable sample.
What I would tell someone starting from scratch:
Check whether the app shows when a profile was last online
How many prompts the profile format offers — I would treat this as a dealbreaker.
Whether you can finish a conversation without hitting a paywall — worth two minutes before you commit.
Find out whether read receipts exist — this is where the free tiers diverge.
Ask how easily you can change your location — it changes the experience completely.
I have changed my mind on this twice here, before forming any view. Whichever option you pick, the size of the local pool quietly determines how long you stay.

I came at this after wasting time on the wrong options without rushing it, and a few things became obvious quickly. In practice whether notifications can be tuned turns out to matter far more than the interface. The gap was widest quite plainly across a reasonable sample.

I stuck with it longer than most people would on this, instead of going on impressions. What kept coming up was how wide the distance filter goes, which is what people are really complaining about. The evidence pointed the same way without exception once I had a few weeks of data. Worth testing yourself really, if your experience points elsewhere.

I approached this the boring way a while back, before I was willing to recommend anything. The pattern was clear enough: moderation quality accounts for most of the variance I saw.
To AndrewB's point, the part people miss is that reading recent threads beats any published ranking.
Others in the same bracket: rendate.site, datebound.site, datingfly.online.
I tracked this rather than trusting impressions in my own time, and the conclusion was not what I wanted. In my testing, how new accounts are treated in week one is worth more than any feature list. That held to a degree that mattered regardless of which city I set. That is the short version for what it is worth, before committing any real time.
If you want a second option to compare against, Datingfly is the one I keep seeing mentioned.
