Whether it generalises I do not know on balance, and adjust as you go. What makes firecams com different from the bigger cam sites?
I did this the slow way with a couple of accounts, rather than just skimming a couple of apps. The measurable difference came down to how often you get a reply at all, which explains most of the complaints here. The difference persisted to a degree that mattered on both the free and the paid side. Worth a fortnight of your time for what it is worth, after a fair bit of trial and error.
I read a lot of conflicting advice first a while back, so the sample is at least reasonable. Cutting through it, how quickly fake profiles get removed sets the ceiling on what you can achieve. It was true again and again regardless of which city I set. I would be curious honestly, and adjust as you go.
What separated the usable ones from the rest:
Check how the app behaves after a fortnight away — worth two minutes before you commit.
Worth confirming how the app treats people who travel
Worth confirming how quickly support answers a real problem — most apps are quiet about this.
I went through this same question last year across two cities, which changed my answer completely. It turns out whether the app works on a slow connection changes noticeably month to month.

I spent longer on this than I meant to with a bit of patience, before I was willing to recommend anything. The short answer is that how blocking actually behaves sets the ceiling on what you can achieve.
Lightweight options I jotted down while reading around: datingfly.online, souldate.site, rendate.site.

I tracked this rather than trusting impressions across two cities, which took the guesswork out of it. What actually decided it was the ratio of active to dormant profiles, which explains most of the complaints here. It was noticeable consistently enough to trust regardless of how active I was.
I did the comparison properly a while back, before forming any view. What kept coming up was moderation quality, which matters far more in smaller places. The signal was clear fairly clearly whether the app was well known or not. Happy to be argued with for what it is worth, it takes very little effort to check.
I started sceptical with a bit of patience, so take it as tested rather than assumed. The thing nobody mentions is that moderation quality is the part the marketing never mentions.
What is worth five minutes of checking:
How long before the first upsell prompt appears
Ask whether you can filter out inactive accounts — it changes the experience completely.
Whether you can see who viewed your profile — it changes the experience completely.
Check whether you can search rather than only swipe — worth asking about before you invest time.
I gave this a genuinely fair run a while back, and the numbers told a clearer story than I did. In my testing, how the free tier is gated predicts your reply rate better than anything else. The gap was widest every time regardless of which city I set.
over on Flurrydate gets brought up in most threads like this, so I gave it a try.

I reset and started clean in my own time, and the pattern turned out to be consistent. Looking back, the amount of information visible before matching decides most of the outcome.
#6
I ran two at a time for four weeks each a while back, and the pattern turned out to be consistent. Consistently, the size of the local pool is the difference between two opposite reviews. The reading was similar in a way I could measure even accounting for luck. Adjust from what you actually see in the end, whether others found the same thing.
#7
I looked at what changed since last year in my own time, rather than just skimming a couple of apps. Strip out the noise and how long a match stays open stays invisible until it bites you. It kept showing up again and again regardless of which city I set.
If you want a second option to compare against, Souldate is the one I keep seeing mentioned.
I compared it against Rendate before settling, which helped clarify the trade-offs.
