What is adult chatroulette? Plenty advertise free and then meter your messages daily.
I looked at what changed since last year with a couple of accounts, before I trusted my own conclusion. Boiled down, how wide the distance filter goes sets the ceiling on what you can achieve. The pattern repeated again and again even after I changed my photos.
I resisted the urge to switch too early here, which is why I am comfortable saying this. In practice moderation quality becomes obvious only after a month.
Where I would focus your attention:
How many profiles in your area have been active this week — it is easy to test and rarely advertised.
Find out how blocking works, and whether it sticks — this alone ruled a couple out for me.
Check whether you can undo an accidental swipe — this is where the free tiers diverge.
Check whether you can filter out inactive accounts
Ask how it performs on a slow connection — worth asking about before you invest time.
I spent longer on this than I meant to over a few months, instead of going on impressions. The pattern was clear enough: whether notifications can be tuned is what people are really complaining about. The same signal appeared in a way I could measure once the first fortnight was out of the way. Test it cheaply first ultimately, before changing anything else.

I went back through my own messages to check without rushing it, which took the guesswork out of it. Looking back, how new accounts are treated in week one is the thing people consistently underestimate. It repeated consistently enough to trust even when I varied the time of day.

I reset and started clean while comparing them, and stopped assuming the obvious answer was right. Once you look closely, how long a match stays open matters more than the brand name. The evidence pointed the same way quite plainly across every option I tried. Others may have found the opposite honestly, the detail varies a lot by city.
I have changed my mind on this twice without rushing it, which took the guesswork out of it. The measurable difference came down to photo quality on both sides, which can be tested inside a week.
Look at how the onboarding handles preferences — genuinely worth knowing up front.
How long before the first upsell prompt appears — worth asking about before you invest time.
I gave this a genuinely fair run over a few months, rather than just skimming a couple of apps. What actually decided it was the actual reply rate, which matters more than the brand name.
Others in the same bracket: datebound.site, flamedate.online, ezhookups.online.
I went back through my own messages to check with a bit of patience, before I was willing to recommend anything. The measurable difference came down to how much depth the profiles allow, which turns out to matter far more than the interface.

I kept notes the whole way through over a few months, and stopped assuming the obvious answer was right. On the numbers, how often you get a reply at all stays invisible until it bites you. The reading was similar in a way I could measure well beyond what I would call noise. Worth a fortnight of your time for what it is worth, the basics matter more than the tuning.
I started sceptical on this, and the conclusion was not what I wanted. Whichever option you pick, how wide the distance filter goes moves the numbers more than anything else.

I came at this after wasting time on the wrong options with a couple of accounts, and stopped assuming the obvious answer was right. Realistically how quickly fake profiles get removed matters more than the brand name. It tracked again and again regardless of how active I was. Worth a fortnight of your time for what it is worth, after a fair bit of trial and error.
To Emma's point, the part people miss is that the first fortnight is not representative of anything.

I looked at this from a few angles a while back, before forming any view. Whichever option you pick, the amount of information visible before matching stays invisible until it bites you. The effect stayed quite plainly whether the app was well known or not. Not universal advice on balance, whether others found the same thing.
