I am not looking to spend money, so free tiers of the pricing question only for now.
If you have first-hand experience of most active free gay meet up sites, I would genuinely like to hear it.
Can confirm the point above regarding free services.
Judging free services without knowing how many people locally are already on it is close to meaningless.
Whether free services works comes down to local population age spread more than anything the marketing mentions.

Geography does most of the work with the pricing question — the time of year matters more than the feature list.

My advice on free-to-message sites: test it on a weekday evening, not a Sunday morning.
What I wish someone had told me about free-to-message sites: give it two weeks before deciding whether it works.
Half the arguments about free-to-message sites would end if people mentioned whether you are in a commuter town or a city up front.

My run with no-cost services lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.
The deciding detail with no-cost services was whether the free tier let you see who liked you.
With no-cost services the thing that decided it for me was how the moderation handled obvious spam.
My read is that no-cost services lives or dies on how dense your area is.
My read is that no-cost services lives or dies on the time of year.
Careful with no-cost services, because location spoofing means 'nearby' isn't always nearby.

Would happily be argued out of my position on most active free gay meet up sites.
