I gave up on guessing and just measured over a few months, which is why I am comfortable saying this. The variable that mattered was whether notifications can be tuned — it is the first thing I would look at now. The result was similar in a way I could measure even after I changed my photos. Happy to be argued with frankly, and adjust as you go.
I reset and started clean before deciding, and a few things became obvious quickly. The recurring theme was how often you get a reply at all — it matters more than the brand name. The effect stayed again and again across every option I tried. Your area may behave differently frankly, which would be genuinely useful to hear.
I ran this for a couple of months with a couple of accounts, and a few things became obvious quickly. More than anything, how the free tier is gated is worth checking before you commit any time. The difference was visible again and again more clearly than anything else I looked at.
If I were starting again, I would look at:
- Find out whether you can see who viewed your profile — the answer varies more than you would think.
- Find out whether a paid feature interrupts the conversation — this is where the free tiers diverge.
- Worth confirming whether the privacy policy is readable — I would treat this as a dealbreaker.
