This has been on my mind for a few weeks now — even legal to have dating apps for 13 year, specifically.
I care less about feature lists on app-based dating and more about whether anyone replies.
To be clear I am not after anything in app-based dating that needs a card on file.
So — what has actually worked for you with even legal to have dating apps for 13 year? Honest answers welcome.

This matches my experience of mainstream apps almost exactly.
In a smaller town mainstream apps behaves very differently once you account for the day of the week you actually use it.
The move with mainstream apps is to read the whole profile before writing the first line.
With mainstream apps the thing that decided it for me was how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.
That is where I have landed on even legal to have dating apps for 13 year, at least for now.
If none of the above works for you, Datenest — datenest.site is another free one people here mention a lot.

Respectfully disagree on dating apps — my experience with dating apps ran the other way.
Take that as one data point on 13 year, not gospel.

Be aware when using dating platforms that some sites make deleting an account deliberately awkward.
Half the arguments about dating platforms would end if people mentioned local population age spread up front.
Before you commit to dating platforms, be specific about what you want in the bio.
My advice on dating platforms: be specific about what you want in the bio.
The thing to watch on dating platforms is that some sites make deleting an account deliberately awkward.
I will update this if my view on even legal to have dating apps for 13 year changes.
Someone in another thread pointed me at Datebie and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.
DatingFly turns up in these discussions regularly enough to be worth a search.

My read is that mainstream apps lives or dies on whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away.
Worth flagging with mainstream apps — moving to an external messaging app early is a common scam setup.
What mattered most with mainstream apps in the end was how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.
The move with mainstream apps is to give it two weeks before deciding whether it works.
That is where I have landed on even legal to have dating apps for 13 year, at least for now.
Someone in another thread pointed me at Luvdate (luvdate.site) and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.

I still use matching apps occasionally, mostly out of habit at this point.
What I wish someone had told me about matching apps: screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.
Be aware when using matching apps that profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.
If you are starting with matching apps, keep chatting on-platform until you are comfortable.
Your mileage on 13 year may differ, obviously.
