So I've been trying to figure this out for a while and figured I'd just ask here directly.
The free tiers on most of what I've tried are basically useless — you get just enough to see real people are there, then hit a wall the moment you try to message anyone.
The account verification process tells you everything. Platforms that skip it are the ones you'll regret spending time on.
If you've got experience with any platforms or approaches that work, drop them below.
Honestly same situation here. Took me a while to find anything worth using but once I did it was clear what separated the good from the bad. Usually comes down to sign-up process and whether they actually verify accounts.
I've had the best luck with Datenest out of everything I've tested. Not perfect but the activity level is noticeably higher than most and the profiles feel like real people wrote them.
Response rates are way more variable than people realize. Time of day matters a lot, especially on platforms where the active user count isn't huge.
The best tip I got was to look at how a site handles complaints and refund requests — if there's no clear path it's a red flag right away.
Honestly just try Ezhookups before anything else. It solved most of the issues I kept running into on bigger platforms — the moderation is tighter and the matching feels less random.
