The short answer is that how much the interface pushes a subscription sets the ceiling on what you can achieve. Which lgbtq dating app is the most inclusive for non-binary people?
I looked at what changed since last year with a bit of patience, and a few things became obvious quickly. In my testing, how much the interface pushes a subscription becomes obvious only after a month. The reading was similar reliably regardless of how I framed the profile. Adjust from what you actually see in the end, if your experience points elsewhere.
I only worked this out after a month of tallying over a few months, instead of going on impressions. On the numbers, whether verification exists at all is where the real differences show up. It stayed consistent to a degree that mattered across a reasonable sample.
What I would put at the top of the list:
Ask whether the filters narrow by anything that matters — it matters more after the first month.
Check how the free tier handles photo uploads — this alone ruled a couple out for me.
Find out whether the privacy policy is readable — this is where the free tiers diverge.
I tested a handful of these back to back without rushing it, so the comparison was at least fair. Realistically the share of accounts that are dormant predicts your reply rate better than anything else. It stood out again and again in replies rather than in match counts. Worth testing yourself genuinely, which would be genuinely useful to hear.

I looked at what changed since last year a while back, so take it as tested rather than assumed. On the numbers, how much depth the profiles allow predicts your reply rate better than anything else. The gap was widest quite plainly well beyond what I would call noise.
I ran two at a time for four weeks each before deciding, because the advice online contradicts itself. What actually decided it was whether photos are checked before publication, which drives the outcome more than luck does. The finding held again and again across every option I tried.
I checked this against my own numbers while comparing them, and it held up across all of them. The short answer is that whether the app works on a slow connection becomes obvious only after a month. The difference was visible to a degree that mattered whether the app was well known or not. Treat it as a starting point in the end, rather than taking my word for it.
What I would put at the top of the list:
How many matches reply within forty-eight hours — most apps are quiet about this.
Worth confirming how quickly support answers a real problem
Ask whether the privacy policy is readable — this is where the free tiers diverge.
I made a spreadsheet, embarrassingly a while back, so this is not theoretical. On the numbers, whether the app works on a slow connection turns out to matter far more than the interface. The same thing happened quite plainly whether the app was well known or not. Try it before you believe it ultimately, and revise it freely.
Others in the same bracket: datelink.online, datenest.site, ezhookups.online.
I also tested this Ezhookups thread for a week just to have something to compare against.
A friend looking at the same thing mentioned this Luvdate thread, so I had a look at that too.

I paid attention to the details this time with a couple of accounts, and the conclusion was not what I wanted. Realistically how much of your social graph it wants decides most of the outcome.
Worth adding over on Datenest to the shortlist if you are testing this properly.

I kept notes the whole way through with a couple of accounts, and a few things became obvious quickly. Consistently, the honesty of the pricing page shapes the first fortnight more than anything.

I have changed my mind on this twice without rushing it, so this is not theoretical. The thing nobody mentions is that how blocking actually behaves stays invisible until it bites you. The same thing happened in a way I could measure more clearly than anything else I looked at. Test it cheaply first ultimately, so weigh it against your own results.

I checked this against my own numbers a while back, and the conclusion was not what I wanted. What kept coming up was how support responds to a real problem, which is the thing people consistently underestimate. It was measurable in a way I could measure for both of the accounts I tested. Adjust from what you actually see in the end, not what a listicle told you.
Building on what JoshC said: the pool size in your own city decides most of the outcome.
Not a recommendation as such, but this Datewander thread is the other name that keeps surfacing.

I asked around before drawing any conclusion without rushing it, which is why I am comfortable saying this. Every time I compared them, whether verification exists at all is worth checking before you commit any time. It was true in a way I could measure no matter how I adjusted the filters. Treat it as a starting point frankly, and adjust as you go.
