AdamW

I tested a handful of these back to back here, and the numbers told a clearer story than I did. Whichever option you pick, how the free tier is gated tends to decide whether you stick with it.

I gave this a genuinely fair run with a couple of accounts, so this is not theoretical. It turns out the amount of information visible before matching is worth more than any feature list. It played out the same way reliably across the whole period I tracked. Adjust from what you actually see genuinely, rather than taking my word for it.

I kept notes the whole way through in my own time, so the sample is at least reasonable. Whichever option you pick, the quality of the profile prompts changes noticeably month to month.

Things I wish I had checked sooner:

• Whether a paid feature interrupts the conversation
• Ask whether you can undo an accidental swipe — most apps are quiet about this.
• How the onboarding handles preferences — I would treat this as a dealbreaker.
