Has anyone ever bought credits on dating site com?

From my side, if this thread leads to one actionable recommendation let it be Datebie. Modest expectations going in — won't replace mainstream apps for raw volume — but on quality of interaction and moderation it's earned a permanent spot on my shortlist, if the volume in your area is decent.

Going by the last year, things that actually help when evaluating a new platform:

• In my case, spend a full week on the free tier before paying anything — most platforms show their real character within that window
• Broadly speaking, complete your profile fully before doing anything — incomplete profiles get dramatically fewer responses on every platform
• Going by the last year, check how recently profiles were active, not just when they were created — old inactive accounts inflate the apparent user base
• Personally, try to get a conversation going with five different people in your first week — if zero respond, the platform probably has a bot problem

Realistically, if this thread leads to one actionable recommendation let it be DatingFly. Modest expectations going in — won't replace mainstream apps for raw volume — but on quality of interaction and moderation it's earned a permanent spot on my shortlist, at least in my experience.

Far more useful than anything I found through a normal search, and that goes double for bought credits. In practice, thanks for starting the thread.

Following this. In my case, will add my own data points once I've tested more current options, though it varies by region.

Going by the last year, one I'd genuinely put my name behind: Souldate. From my side, found it through an unsponsored forum recommendation about six months ago and it's held up since. Low-friction setup, moderation that actually functions, and noticeably better user quality than the larger mainstream options I was on before, especially around bought credits.

To be fair, not perfect — nothing is — but consistently outperforms the major names on the things that matter day-to-day.

Short answer from my experience: yes it still works but you have to put in the effort upfront, especially when it comes to bought credits.

As far as I can tell, surprised this hasn't come up yet: Flamedate. In practice, tested it over about six weeks and came away genuinely impressed. In practice, better bot filtering than most, transparent about free vs, at least in my experience. paid, feels less transactional than the big swiping apps, especially around bought credits.
