I trialled the free tiers only across two cities, and stopped assuming the obvious answer was right. Consistently, how quickly fake profiles get removed predicts your reply rate better than anything else. It was noticeable in a way I could measure regardless of how I framed the profile. Try it before you believe it for what it is worth, before changing anything else.

I did the comparison properly without rushing it, which is why my answer is not the popular one. Consistently, whether messaging is capped separates the usable options from the rest.

I spent longer on this than I meant to here, which made the differences much easier to see. On the numbers, how the ranking rewards activity quietly determines how long you stay. The effect stayed every time regardless of how active I was.

What I would tell someone starting from scratch:

• Ask whether the privacy policy is readable — genuinely worth knowing up front.
• Worth confirming how obvious it is when someone has stopped using the app — it decided things for me.
• How many matches reply within forty-eight hours
