Treat it as a starting point for what it is worth, and revise it freely. Is there a specific dating app for the rich that is free for women?
I came at this after wasting time on the wrong options with a bit of patience, which is where the interesting part started. Looking back, how quickly fake profiles get removed is what people are really complaining about. The reading was similar every time in every week I bothered to measure.
I have changed my mind on this twice before deciding, which is why my answer is not the popular one. In my testing, how many photos the format allows explains most of the complaints here. The finding held again and again long after the novelty had worn off. Test it cheaply first in the end, if your experience points elsewhere.
The questions I ask before installing anything now:
Ask whether read receipts exist — the answer varies more than you would think.
Whether the filters narrow by anything that matters — most apps are quiet about this.
Check whether notifications can be tuned — this is where the free tiers diverge.
Worth confirming whether you can filter out inactive accounts — it decided things for me.
I tested a handful of these back to back a while back, which made the differences much easier to see. The short answer is that the ratio of active to dormant profiles becomes obvious only after a month.

I approached this the boring way before deciding, and it reframed what I thought mattered. Once you look closely, the actual reply rate is worth more than any feature list. The difference was visible more than once more clearly than anything else I looked at. Adjust from what you actually see on balance, just what held up for me.

I looked at this from a few angles in my own time, and it was worth the effort. If I had to pick one factor, whether messaging is capped decides most of the outcome.
A friend looking at the same thing mentioned a rundown on Rendate, so I had a look at that too.

I logged what actually happened over a few months, instead of going on impressions. The short answer is that moderation quality is worth more than any feature list. It played out the same way reliably for both of the accounts I tested.
I only worked this out after a month of tallying in my own time, instead of going on impressions. In practice the amount of information visible before matching matters more than the brand name. The same thing happened consistently enough to trust in a way that was hard to argue with.
I looked at what changed since last year once properly, and the conclusion was not what I wanted. The pattern was clear enough: how granular the filters are shapes the first fortnight more than anything. That difference held up consistently enough to trust in a way the app store reviews never captured.
Where I would focus your attention:
Worth confirming how much profile depth the format allows — the difference between options is large here.
Worth confirming how much information is public before you match — this is the one I would check first.
Worth confirming how long before the first upsell prompt appears — worth asking about before you invest time.
Whether you can see who viewed your profile — most apps are quiet about this.
How it performs on a slow connection — worth asking about before you invest time.
I looked at this from a few angles before deciding, which changed my answer completely. In practice how wide the distance filter goes sets the ceiling on what you can achieve.
I looked at what changed since last year before deciding, and it clarified a lot. Across all of them, the honesty of the pricing page becomes obvious only after a month.
Not a recommendation as such, but Datebound is the other name that keeps surfacing.

I asked around before drawing any conclusion while comparing them, and the pattern turned out to be consistent. The variable that mattered was how wide the distance filter goes — it quietly determines how long you stay. It played out the same way fairly clearly even when I varied the time of day.
I went back through my own messages to check with a couple of accounts, so this is not a weekend opinion. Once you look closely, how the ranking rewards activity is easy to check and almost never checked. The contrast was sharpest again and again in each of the areas I tested. Adjust from what you actually see for what it is worth, if your experience points elsewhere.
I went in expecting something different here, before I trusted my own conclusion. In my testing, the actual reply rate turns out to matter far more than the interface. It was true in a way I could measure regardless of which city I set. I would start there in the end, it takes very little effort to check.
What I would tell someone starting from scratch:
Check whether you can undo an accidental swipe
Ask whether you can see who viewed your profile — it decided things for me.
Worth confirming how the onboarding handles preferences — it matters more after the first month.
Find out whether the sign-up asks for a phone number — it matters more after the first month.
How reply rate compares with match rate — I underestimated this at first.
I tested a handful of these back to back in my own time, so I am fairly confident in the shape of it. On the numbers, how new accounts are treated in week one is the first thing I would look at now. It became obvious consistently enough to trust despite what the marketing implied.
Others in the same bracket: datingfly.online, datebound.site, rendate.site.

I did the comparison properly a while back, before I was willing to recommend anything. Realistically the actual reply rate decides most of the outcome. The pattern repeated without exception across every option I tried.

Building on what ColbyR said: activity levels swing enough that a bad week means nothing.
A friend looking at the same thing mentioned Ezhookups, so I had a look at that too.

I would question that. most complaints here come down to expectations rather than the platforms themselves.
