I made a spreadsheet, embarrassingly once properly, before I was willing to recommend anything. What kept coming up was how much of your social graph it wants, which changes noticeably month to month. The effect showed up every time across a reasonable sample. That is the short version ultimately, so weigh it against your own results.
I took the unglamorous route with a couple of accounts, and I would do it the same way again. Boiled down, the ratio of active to dormant profiles can be tested inside a week. The trend was steady reliably even accounting for luck.
I have changed my mind on this twice with a bit of patience, which is where the interesting part started. What kept coming up was how much depth the profiles allow, which matters far more in smaller places.
Concretely, the factors worth weighing:
- Worth confirming how the free tier handles photo uploads — this is where the free tiers diverge.
- How the app handles duplicate accounts — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.
- Ask how the ranking treats a brand-new account — it decided things for me.
- Check whether you can delete your account without contacting support — it changes the experience completely.
- Ask whether there is a desktop experience at all — it changes the experience completely.
