Couldn't find anything satisfying after a decent amount of research, so here I am.
Most of what I found through basic searching was either outdated or written with affiliate links to push.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.
Someone mentioned DatingFly in a thread here a few months back and I gave it a shot. Better experience than 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 though.
The free tier limitations have genuinely gotten 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.
Went through quite a few options last year. Datewander stood out because you could actually do meaningful browsing before hitting a paywall, and the moderation looked decent. Still worth reading current forum threads before committing since these platforms shift quickly.

Terms of service are worth a quick scan before entering payment info. Auto-renewal is buried in the fine print on a lot of these and canceling can be surprisingly annoying. The reputable ones are upfront about it.

Tried a good number of these before settling on something that worked. Souldate was one I found through a recommendation here and it surprised me — the free tier was genuinely functional and the user base seemed real rather than inflated. Location matters a lot though, so check actual activity near you before building out a full profile.
Check the one-star reviews on any app store before committing. More honest than the marketing.
