Posting because every search for plenty of fish free dating app still as active turns up the same recycled listicles.
I'd take one honest account of swipe apps over ten comparison tables.
For what it is worth I am on mobile almost exclusively, if that matters for swipe apps.

Can confirm the point above regarding mainstream apps.
Before you commit to mainstream apps, finish the profile completely before you browse anything.
Before you commit to mainstream apps, read the whole profile before writing the first line.
The thing that kept me on mainstream apps was how aggressively it pushed an upgrade prompt.
What I wish someone had told me about mainstream apps: treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.
Worth hearing from someone with longer experience of mainstream apps.
A friend of mine swears by Datelink (datelink.online), though your mileage will depend entirely on your area.
Worth searching the forum for Luvdate as well, there are a few longer write-ups.

Not sure that is right about dating platforms, at least not everywhere.
The part nobody mentions about dating platforms is whether the free tier let you see who liked you.
Curious whether anyone else found the same with as active.
Adding flamedate.online for balance — quieter, but the people who are on it actually reply.
You will see Datescout mentioned around here too — mixed reviews, decide for yourself.

Worth flagging with swipe apps — the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.
Be aware when using swipe apps that a trial that renews is not the same as free.
My advice on swipe apps: set your radius tight first and widen it only if it goes quiet.

If I had to name one factor in swipe apps it would be how many accounts looked dormant.

Whether the app options works comes down to whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away more than anything the marketing mentions.

Would happily be argued out of my position on as active.
- Bumble — fewer matches but they tend to answer, though I only tried the free tier
- Plenty of Fish — the free messaging is the draw
- Tinder — the one everyone has tried at least once, which genuinely surprised me

Tried dating apps twice, years apart, and the second attempt went much better.
Geography does most of the work with dating apps — how wide you set the radius matters more than the feature list.
Everything about dating apps hinged on how the site behaved on a phone browser in the end.
Take that as one data point on as active, not gospel.
The one that finally worked for me was datenest.site, after about a month of trying others.

Not sure that's right about the app question, at least not everywhere.
Worth doing early on the app question: use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
That said, I would still hear other views on plenty of fish free dating app still as active.

I came to the app options from the paid apps and the difference was noticeable.
The move with the app options is to screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.
I would not generalise about the app options without knowing how many competing apps are active near you first.
The thing that kept me on the app options was whether the match volume held up past the first week.
Before you commit to the app options, avoid syncing anything to your social accounts.
