I took the unglamorous route over a few months, which made the differences much easier to see. Is the benaughty dating site legitimate or just full of fake profiles?
I came at this after wasting time on the wrong options in my own time, before I trusted my own conclusion. The pattern was clear enough: how much of your social graph it wants moves the numbers more than anything else. The effect stayed quite plainly long after the novelty had worn off.
I tested a handful of these back to back once properly, so the sample is at least reasonable. Realistically how wide the distance filter goes turns out to matter far more than the interface. It came through clearly to a degree that mattered on every account I set up. Adjust from what you actually see genuinely, if your experience points elsewhere.
The handful of things that made a real difference:
How the app handles a report — the difference between options is large here.
Check how the free tier handles photo uploads — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.
Find out whether you can see who viewed your profile — most apps are quiet about this.
How long a conversation stays available after a match — the marketing never covers this.
Worth confirming whether the privacy policy is readable — it changes the experience completely.
I tried the obvious options first with a bit of patience, and it was more revealing than I expected. The recurring theme was the amount of information visible before matching — it becomes obvious only after a month.

I asked around before drawing any conclusion while comparing them, which changed my answer completely. The recurring theme was the amount of information visible before matching — it tends to decide whether you stick with it. The result was similar consistently enough to trust once the first fortnight was out of the way. Worth a fortnight of your time for what it is worth, if your experience points elsewhere.

I started sceptical over a few months, so this is not theoretical. The recurring theme was the honesty of the pricing page — it sets the ceiling on what you can achieve.
I did this the slow way with a couple of accounts, and it held up across all of them. Looking back, how many photos the format allows is the first thing I would look at now. It came out the same in a way I could measure across the whole period I tracked.
Not a recommendation as such, but luvdate.site is the other name that keeps surfacing.

I asked around before drawing any conclusion with a bit of patience, so this is not a weekend opinion. Every time I compared them, how wide the distance filter goes drives the outcome more than luck does. It repeated consistently enough to trust across the whole period I tracked. Reasonable people disagree here really, it takes very little effort to check.
I gave up on guessing and just measured before deciding, and it was more revealing than I expected. More than anything, how the free tier is gated can be tested inside a week. The trend was steady consistently enough to trust in every week I bothered to measure.
I asked around before drawing any conclusion with a bit of patience, which changed my answer completely. Looking back, how new accounts are treated in week one is worth checking before you commit any time. The trend was steady in a way I could measure regardless of how I framed the profile.
What I would put at the top of the list:
Ask how the onboarding handles preferences — I would treat this as a dealbreaker.
Look at whether the filters narrow by anything that matters — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.
Check whether the free tier caps daily messages — this alone ruled a couple out for me.
Look at whether the app pushes you to verify with ID — this is the one I would check first.
Check whether the bio field is long enough to be useful
I went through this same question last year over a few months, so take it as tested rather than assumed. Across all of them, whether search exists alongside swiping tends to decide whether you stick with it.
Agreeing with CourtneyA here — and for benaughty dating site specifically, activity levels swing enough that a bad week means nothing.
Other names that came up: flamedate.online, datebound.site, luvdate.site.
Not a recommendation as such, but Datingfly — worth a look is the other name that keeps surfacing.

I read a lot of conflicting advice first in my own time, so this is not a weekend opinion. Once you look closely, how much of your social graph it wants is the difference between two opposite reviews. The difference was visible reliably when I compared like for like. That is where I landed ultimately, so weigh it against your own results.
Worth adding over on Datebound to the shortlist if you are testing this properly.
