I did this the slow way across two cities, so take it as tested rather than assumed. The measurable difference came down to the share of accounts that are dormant, which turns out to matter far more than the interface. It was measurable reliably regardless of how active I was. Your mileage may differ on balance, so weigh it against your own results.

I ran two at a time for four weeks each over a few months, and stopped assuming the obvious answer was right. On the numbers, the share of accounts that are dormant quietly determines how long you stay. The contrast was sharpest reliably regardless of which city I set. Your area may behave differently really, if your experience points elsewhere.

I tracked this rather than trusting impressions while comparing them, so I am fairly confident in the shape of it. Consistently, how wide the distance filter goes changes noticeably month to month. It came out the same without exception regardless of which city I set. Check it against your own case for what it is worth, which would be genuinely useful to hear.

Concretely, the factors worth weighing:

Find out how the app handles a report — worth asking about before you invest time.
Whether the app requires a social login — this is where the free tiers diverge.
Whether prompts give people something specific to answer — the answer varies more than you would think.
