This matches my experience of the free question almost exactly.

Before you commit to the free question, set your radius tight first and widen it only if it goes quiet.

Careful with zero-cost options, because the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.

That is where I've landed on most active free serious dating sites for marriage, at least for now.
