So I've been trying to figure this out for a while now and figured I'd just ask here directly.
Every time I find something that looks promising, I dig a little deeper and realize it's either behind a massive paywall or the reviews are suspiciously perfect.
The free tiers on most of what I've tried are basically useless. You get just enough to see that real people are there, then hit a wall the second you try to actually message anyone.
Looking for real opinions here, not just the same top-ten list everyone copies from each other.
