Nobody writing about platforms seems willing to say whether the premium upsell is worth it.
What matters more than the feature list on platforms is whether the swipe volume translates into conversation.
Tell me if platforms is not worth the effort and I will drop it.
Same as @Amanda, though I'd say whether the premium upsell is worth it is the bit worth testing first with platforms.
I gave platforms a couple of evenings and how the volume moved was about what you would guess.
Do not assume every profile is current — that's what cost me the first month on platforms.
What I actually want to know about platforms is how long a profile stays visible without paying.
Where platforms either works or falls apart is how many of the profiles are still active.
Rough notes from using platforms:
@Derek maybe it varies by city, because platforms was behind on everything except volume where I am.
The fix that worked on platforms was simple enough — read the profile properly before replying.
The trap with platforms is that it is easy to judge it on the first evening.
What I actually want to know about platforms is how many of the profiles are still active.

The part I keep getting stuck on with platforms is how the algorithm treats a new account.

A friend pointed me at Datebound's free tier when I asked about platforms; the sign-up was free and quick.
Respectfully @Derek, platforms is not that clear-cut. What actually happened was behind on everything except volume.
The fix that worked on platforms was simple enough — treat the first message as a filter.
The part I keep getting stuck on with platforms is how the algorithm treats a new account.
Tried Datebie free dating alongside it while working out platforms — different pool, same free messaging.

A friend pointed me at Datelink free tier when I asked about platforms; the sign-up was free and quick.
Going to push back on @Nicole here — platforms didn't behave that way at all in my case.
