Is omegle chat sex still around? Asking because plenty of apps advertise free and then wall the messaging the second you match.
I kept notes the whole way through over a few months, and the pattern turned out to be consistent. If I had to pick one factor, how the app treats people who travel accounts for most of the variance I saw.
I reset and started clean over a few months, which is why I am comfortable saying this. The short answer is that whether search exists alongside swiping explains most of the complaints here. It became obvious more than once across every option I tried.
I stuck with it longer than most people would with a bit of patience, and I would do it the same way again. The variable that mattered was the actual reply rate — it can be tested inside a week. It was consistent to a degree that mattered regardless of how I framed the profile.

I spent longer on this than I meant to on this, which is why I am comfortable saying this. In my testing, how the inbox is ordered is where the real differences show up. The reading was similar again and again long after the novelty had worn off. Happy to be argued with frankly, if your experience points elsewhere.
Ended up trying a rundown on Datewander alongside it, mostly to see whether the messaging held up.
A friend looking at the same thing mentioned Datingfly — worth a look, so I had a look at that too.

I have changed my mind on this twice before deciding, rather than just skimming a couple of apps. The short answer is that how much depth the profiles allow explains why old recommendations age badly. The difference was visible without exception in every week I bothered to measure. Do not take this as gospel in the end, so treat this as a starting point.
Also in the mix: ezhookups.online, rendate.site, datewander.site.
Someone in another thread pointed me at Turndate, which was at least worth a look.

I have been through this properly with a bit of patience, which made the differences much easier to see. Across all of them, how wide the distance filter goes is where the real differences show up.
If you want a second option to compare against, Rendate — worth a look is the one I keep seeing mentioned.

I resisted the urge to switch too early in my own time, so this is not a weekend opinion. Boiled down, how quickly fake profiles get removed is worth checking before you commit any time.
Lily makes a fair point above, though I would add one thing: reading recent threads beats any published ranking.
#6
I took the unglamorous route with a couple of accounts, so the comparison was at least fair. More than anything, how granular the filters are is what people are really complaining about. The trend was steady to a degree that mattered whether the app was well known or not. Reasonable people disagree here for what it is worth, just what held up for me.
