I tried the obvious options first without rushing it, and it clarified a lot. The thing nobody mentions is that how new accounts are treated in week one is the first thing I would look at now.
I tested a handful of these back to back across two cities, so this is not theoretical. What kept coming up was how quickly fake profiles get removed, which matters far more in smaller places.
I read a lot of conflicting advice first over a few months, and ended up somewhere unexpected. Cutting through it, whether search exists alongside swiping changes noticeably month to month. The difference was visible every time long after the novelty had worn off. It cost me nothing to verify really, and revise it freely.
The checklist I ended up with:
- Worth confirming how the app behaves after a fortnight away — this is where the free tiers diverge.
- Look at how the ranking treats a brand-new account
- How the app handles a report
- How many photos the format actually allows — I underestimated this at first.
- Whether you can see who viewed your profile — I would treat this as a dealbreaker.
