Where can I find adult chat that isn't just bots?

From what I've seen, the free tier can work, but you need patience and good filters, for whatever that is worth.

From what I've seen, a strong profile and a simple opener usually matter more than the platform name.

I’ve seen Datescout In practice, come up when people want a different pool of users, which surprised me at first.

It varies a lot by location—some weeks are great, some are bot city, at least in my experience.

A strong profile and a simple opener usually matter more than the platform name, especially when it comes to conversations and messaging.

Honestly, smaller sites people mention sometimes: datebound.site, datelink.online, luvdate.site.

For what it's worth, I’ve had decent luck, but you really have to screen hard, though others in this thread disagree.

I keep early chats short, ask one specific question, and watch for copy‑paste replies, more so for conversations and messaging than anything else. Personally, that cuts down on bots fast, though others in this thread disagree.

Mainstream apps people still use (free tier varies): Plenty of Fish, Hinge, Facebook Dating.

I’ve seen Souldate come up when people want a different pool of users, though I would not bet the house on it.

I would also throw Flurrydate if you want another option into the mix before you decide.
