I benchmarked it against what I used before in my own time, since nobody else seemed to have done it. In practice whether messaging is capped is the thing people consistently underestimate.
I asked three friends who use these regularly while comparing them, and it held up across all of them. Cutting through it, how easy it is to delete an account predicts your reply rate better than anything else. It played out the same way quite plainly once I had a few weeks of data. Happy to be argued with in the end, so treat this as a starting point.
I have been through this properly over a few months, and it was worth the effort. For me, how quickly fake profiles get removed can be tested inside a week. The signal was clear every time for both of the accounts I tested.
The questions I ask before installing anything now:
- Worth confirming whether you can filter out inactive accounts — it decided things for me.
- Find out whether prompts give people something specific to answer — this is where the free tiers diverge.
- Find out whether the app pushes you to verify with ID — it changes the experience completely.
