I want to separate two things that get conflated in international dating sites free to join for everyone.

My short checklist for these sites:

• whether the free tier on international dating includes search filters
• whether verification on sites of this type is enforced or merely offered

I have no stake in dating sites — this is just what I observed. Curious whether others found the same on international dating.

Testing international dating sites free to join for everyone taught me more about product design than about dating. Nobody talks about how the pricing tiers are structured, and with platforms like these it's decisive.

Worth noting that dating sites changed after their last update. Did anyone else find what the real price is after the trial got worse recently on international dating? Still forming a view on international dating, so push back if I've it wrong.

The order I check things with these sites:
