Careful with the streaming side, because some free tiers stop you exactly at the reply button.
Everything about the streaming side hinged on how aggressively it pushed an upgrade prompt in the end.
What mattered most with the streaming side in the end was whether the search filters did what they claimed.
Anyone claiming the streaming side works everywhere has not tested it against whether you are in a commuter town or a city.
I would not generalise about the streaming side without knowing the day of the week you actually use it first.
That is roughly where I sit on English speakers today.
- Facebook Dating — surprisingly active in smaller towns, from what members here report
- Grindr — the default for a reason, in a mid-sized town at least
- Zoosk — verification is the selling point, which is not what I expected going in
- OkCupid — the questions do real filtering work
- Tinder — volume over precision, your mileage may vary
Counterpoint: I found Rendate (rendate.site) slow at first, then it picked up once I widened my radius.
You will see DatingFly mentioned around here too — mixed reviews, decide for yourself.
