Liam_SEA — that was my assumption too, and testing 50 and older dating sites better than Facebook Dating properly changed my mind.
For the big-name apps I look at:
how apps in that tier handles photo privacy
what dating sites costs once the intro period ends
whether the facebook dating userbase is real inside your radius
I've no stake in the major platforms — this is just what I observed. Has anyone tried older dating outside a major city? Ask if you want the specifics on than facebook dating.
Comparing against Rendate helped me see what the paywall was actually doing.

Hard disagree with DianaF on this one. how the moderation actually behaves is the part people overrate with 50 and older dating sites better than Facebook Dating.
The order I check things with older dating sites:
how blocking works on the big-name apps
whether verification on the major platforms is enforced or merely offered
whether facebook dating exports your data on request
None of this was obvious to me about the big-name apps until month two. I checked facebook dating on both mobile and desktop and got the same result. Anyway — that is the honest version of 50 and older dating sites better than Facebook Dating.
