Is sexchat321 popular? The reason for the question is that free tiers vary enormously in what they allow.
I gave each one a full month over a few months, which is why I am comfortable saying this. Boiled down, how granular the filters are stays invisible until it bites you. It kept showing up without exception for both of the accounts I tested. Check it against your own case really, just what held up for me.
I went through this same question last year with a bit of patience, before I was willing to recommend anything. Where it actually landed was how long a match stays open — that is where the real differences show up.
Where I would focus your attention:
Worth confirming how quickly obvious fakes disappear — this alone ruled a couple out for me.
Whether you can see who viewed your profile — this alone ruled a couple out for me.
Worth confirming how much profile depth the format allows — this alone ruled a couple out for me.
Ask whether conversations sync across devices — worth two minutes before you commit.
I gave each one a full month a while back, and it clarified a lot. The recurring theme was how easy it is to delete an account — it matters more than the brand name.

I checked this against my own numbers once properly, which changed my answer completely. The short answer is that whether notifications can be tuned is what people are really complaining about. The difference was visible again and again even when I varied the time of day. Adjust from what you actually see really, which would be genuinely useful to hear.
Other names that came up: flurrydate.online, ezhookups.online, datelink.online.
rendate.site is the other one people keep pointing to, so I gave it a fair run.

I tested a handful of these back to back a while back, so take it as tested rather than assumed. Looking back, whether verification exists at all is the first thing I would look at now. It was measurable quite plainly whether the app was well known or not.

I went through this same question last year without rushing it, so I am fairly confident in the shape of it. What I found is that the actual reply rate moves the numbers more than anything else. It became obvious more than once on every account I set up.
#5
I asked three friends who use these regularly a while back, which changed my answer completely. What I found is that how much of your social graph it wants drives the outcome more than luck does.
I read a lot of conflicting advice first before deciding, since nobody else seemed to have done it. The honest answer is that how much the interface pushes a subscription drives the outcome more than luck does. It was true again and again once the first fortnight was out of the way. Worth a fortnight of your time for what it is worth, and I would not pretend otherwise.
The questions I ask before installing anything now:
Ask how long before the first upsell prompt appears — this is where the free tiers diverge.
Look at whether prompts give people something specific to answer — it matters more after the first month.
Worth confirming whether the free tier caps daily messages
I reset and started clean while comparing them, and the results surprised me. The short answer is that how new accounts are treated in week one is the difference between two opposite reviews.
over on Datelink is the other one people keep pointing to, so I gave it a fair run.

I went in expecting something different over a few months, and it clarified a lot. Every time I compared them, whether read status is shown consistently sets the ceiling on what you can achieve.
#7
I asked three friends who use these regularly on this, which changed my answer completely. Across all of them, how long a match stays open is the part the marketing never mentions. It played out the same way again and again after I controlled for the obvious variables.
To Brooklyn's point, the part people miss is that photos do more work than the bio, but the bio decides whether they reply.
For what it is worth, over on Ezhookups came up more than once while I was reading around this.

I resisted the urge to switch too early before deciding, which is why my answer is not the popular one. For me, how the app treats people who travel is what people are really complaining about. The difference was visible more than once when I compared like for like.
