The reason that matters for photo checklist is simple. Most sites that advertise themselves as free are free to *join*. The paywall sits one step later, at the point where you want to answer someone. That is the step RuneDate does not charge for.
If you are new to photo checklist, the shortest useful advice is to finish your profile before you start browsing. Three to five photos, one line about what you actually do with your time, and a clear statement of what you are looking for will change your reply rate more than any feature comparison will.
