Spent most of last winter on screening a service, so here is what I actually saw.
The real differentiator across screening a service turned out to be how aggressively it pushed an upgrade prompt.
With screening a service the thing that decided it for me was how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.
Be aware when using screening a service that location spoofing means 'nearby' is not always nearby.
I would not generalise about screening a service without knowing whether you are in a commuter town or a city first.
One thing I would do differently with screening a service — check what the free tier actually includes before investing time.
What decides screening a service for most people is the time of year, not the app itself.
That is where I've landed on site platforms, at least for now.
I rotate between a couple of these and Luvdate, mostly because neither charges to open a chat.
