I have used the pricing question on and off for about a year and the results were mixed.
Worth flagging with the pricing question — profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.
I would not generalise about the pricing question without knowing whether you are in a commuter town or a city first.
The real differentiator across the pricing question turned out to be whether profiles felt written by real people.
What decides the pricing question for most people is how many people locally are already on it, not the app itself.
What mattered most with the pricing question in the end was whether profiles felt written by real people.
Take that as one data point on eharmony review conclude about their price, not gospel.
I also keep half an eye on rendate.site — different crowd, same free-messaging idea.
