How does eharmony senior dating work differently than the main site?

Been looking into this for a while and wanted honest takes from people who've actually tried it.

Finding quality options for a more mature demographic is harder than it should be. Most mainstream apps are optimized for younger users and the dedicated senior sites vary wildly. Would love to hear from people who've actually found something that works rather than the same affiliate recommendations.

Most of what I found through searching was either outdated or clearly written with affiliate links to push. Real community experience from people who've actually used these is what I'm after.

Appreciate honest answers. Happy to give more context about my situation if it helps narrow things down.

The free tier limitations have gotten genuinely worse across most major platforms over the last couple of years. What used to be free is now paywalled on most apps. Worth going in with realistic expectations.

Someone mentioned Datebie in a thread here a few months back and I gave it a go. Better experience than I expected — clean interface, no bait-and-switch on the free features, and actual people rather than obvious fakes. Always check activity in your specific city first though.
