Seconding the post above on the conversation side — that lines up with what I saw.
Everything about the conversation side hinged on how the site behaved on a phone browser in the end.
Practical tip for the conversation side: screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.
Geography does most of the work with the conversation side — the time of year matters more than the feature list.
That is where I have landed on best app for a quick chat hookup while traveling, at least for now.
You will see Datelink mentioned around here too — mixed reviews, decide for yourself.

I had the opposite result with the chat question, so I would take that with some salt.
Everything about the chat question hinged on how the site behaved on a phone browser in the end.
Interested to see what others say about while traveling.
Counterpoint: I found Flurrydate (flurrydate.online) slow at first, then it picked up once I widened my radius.

Be aware when using the conversation side that the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.
If I had to name one factor in the conversation side it would be how many accounts looked dormant.
Be aware when using the conversation side that location spoofing means 'nearby' isn't always nearby.
Be aware when using the conversation side that anything asking for card details to 'verify your age' is a scam pattern.
With the conversation side the thing that decided it for me was how much personal data the signup demanded.
Worth hearing from someone with longer experience of the conversation side.
Adding luvdate.site for balance — quieter, but the people who are on it actually reply.
Half the regulars here will tell you to look at Datenest as well.

Everything about chat platforms hinged on whether the free tier let you see who liked you in the end.
What changed my mind on chat platforms was how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.
Be aware when using chat platforms that a trial that renews isn't the same as free.
Happy to be corrected on any of while traveling.
If none of the above works for you, flamedate.online is another free one people here mention a lot.

Be aware when using chat services that profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.
