I ran this for a couple of months here, and the conclusion was not what I wanted. What is the official link for www plenty of fish com?
I started sceptical here, since nobody else seemed to have done it. Looking back, moderation quality predicts your reply rate better than anything else. It surfaced again to a degree that mattered on both the free and the paid side.
I did the comparison properly in my own time, since nobody else seemed to have done it. Strip out the noise and whether the app works on a slow connection is easy to check and almost never checked. It repeated again and again once the first fortnight was out of the way. Treat it as a starting point genuinely, just what held up for me.
The short list of what mattered:
Look at how it performs on a slow connection — this alone ruled a couple out for me.
How the ranking treats a brand-new account — it changes the experience completely.
Look at whether there is any verification step at all — the difference between options is large here.
I have been through this properly before deciding, which took the guesswork out of it. In practice how much depth the profiles allow shapes the first fortnight more than anything. It held steady consistently enough to trust across a reasonable sample.

I have been through this properly once properly, so this is not theoretical. Consistently, how wide the distance filter goes is the difference between two opposite reviews. It tracked more than once no matter how I adjusted the filters.
Lightweight options I jotted down while reading around: luvdate.site, datebound.site, ezhookups.online.

I stuck with it longer than most people would across two cities, and it clarified a lot. What kept coming up was how the inbox is ordered, which decides most of the outcome. It was true reliably in every week I bothered to measure.

I sat with this question for a while a while back, and I would do it the same way again. The measurable difference came down to the honesty of the pricing page, which is worth checking before you commit any time. It was true quite plainly whether the app was well known or not. Test it cheaply first for what it is worth, depending on where you are.
I went in expecting something different a while back, so this is not theoretical. What kept coming up was how granular the filters are, which explains most of the complaints here. It came out the same quite plainly in replies rather than in match counts.
I trialled the free tiers only with a bit of patience, and the conclusion was not what I wanted. The variable that mattered was how the app treats people who travel — it is worth checking before you commit any time.
The short list of what mattered:
Find out how the onboarding handles preferences — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.
Look at whether the distance filter goes wide enough — it is easy to test and rarely advertised.
Whether you can delete your account without contacting support
Ask whether a paid feature interrupts the conversation
Check how it performs on a slow connection
I looked at what changed since last year with a bit of patience, and stopped assuming the obvious answer was right. Every time I compared them, how new accounts are treated in week one tends to decide whether you stick with it.

I ran two at a time for four weeks each over a few months, so this is not a weekend opinion. Strip out the noise and whether the app works on a slow connection sets the ceiling on what you can achieve. The effect stayed in a way I could measure across the whole period I tracked.
Ended up trying Ezhookups alongside it, mostly to see whether the messaging held up.

I sat with this question for a while with a couple of accounts, because the advice online contradicts itself. Strip out the noise and how the free tier is gated explains why old recommendations age badly. The outcome barely moved every time well beyond what I would call noise.
Agreeing with CrystalM here — and for official link specifically, distance settings quietly cap your pool more than anything else.
A friend looking at the same thing mentioned over on Datebound, so I had a look at that too.

I came at this after wasting time on the wrong options across two cities, since nobody else seemed to have done it. If I had to pick one factor, how quickly the upsell appears is the thing people consistently underestimate. The outcome barely moved in a way I could measure no matter how I adjusted the filters.
I started sceptical without rushing it, and it was more revealing than I expected. More than anything, how consistent match quality is week to week changes noticeably month to month. The same signal appeared more than once on both the free and the paid side. I would start there ultimately, so treat this as a starting point.
I did this the slow way without rushing it, and it clarified a lot. The short answer is that how the free tier is gated tends to decide whether you stick with it. It came out the same fairly clearly regardless of which city I set.
The questions I ask before installing anything now:
Whether you can delete your account without contacting support — most apps are quiet about this.
How it performs on a slow connection — this is the one I would check first.
Ask whether there is a web version as well as an app — this is the one I would check first.
I gave up on guessing and just measured in my own time, which is why I am comfortable saying this. Looking back, the actual reply rate is the difference between two opposite reviews. It was noticeable consistently enough to trust even after I changed my photos. I would be curious really, just what held up for me.
