Okay asking this community directly since the usual research methods have failed me: What is the cheapest dating app that still offers decent features?
My frustration: I can find plenty of content about this topic but almost none of it is actually useful, though I would not bet the house on it. It's either obviously sponsored, embarrassingly outdated, or so vague that it could apply to any platform in any context, which is worth keeping in mind. In my experience, I need specifics from real users, depending on which app you are on.
As far as I can tell, things I particularly want to know:
- For what it's worth, activity levels in mid-sized US cities, not just the major metros
- Broadly speaking, whether the moderation actually keeps bad actors under control
- Honestly, what paying for premium actually gets you beyond cosmetic features
- Personally, how the experience on mobile compares to desktop if both exist
To be fair, any real experience appreciated, if the volume in your area is decent. For what it's worth, happy to follow up with more details if it helps, if the volume in your area is decent.
