I logged what actually happened once properly, and the conclusion was not what I wanted. On the numbers, whether notifications can be tuned moves the numbers more than anything else. The effect stayed without exception even when I varied the time of day.
I came at this after wasting time on the wrong options with a bit of patience, so this is not a weekend opinion. The thing nobody mentions is that whether search exists alongside swiping turns out to matter far more than the interface.
I compared several at once without rushing it, and it held up across all of them. Boiled down, whether verification exists at all is where the real differences show up.
The things that actually moved the needle for me:
- Look at whether browsing costs anything — this is where the free tiers diverge.
- Worth confirming whether there is a desktop experience at all — worth asking about before you invest time.
- Look at whether you can filter out inactive accounts — it decided things for me.
- Ask how the free tier handles photo uploads
- How long before the first upsell prompt appears — most apps are quiet about this.
