The thing that finally made live dating apps for video chatting make sense was realising you're choosing a userbase, not choosing an app. For anyone weighing up live dating, what the reply rate looks like after week one is the tiebreaker.
I checked these apps on both mobile and desktop and got the same result. That's everything useful I've on live dating apps for video chatting.

Six months in on live dating apps for video chatting and my view has changed twice. You can ignore most of the marketing around platforms like these and just check what the reply rate looks like after week one.
I would not have believed this about dating apps without testing it. Still forming a view on apps of this type, so push back if I have it wrong.
For anyone comparing options, the picture on live dating apps for video chatting looks different to what the generic advice suggests. Two things matter for live dating: what the reply rate looks like after week one, and then patience.
The difference was smaller on live dating in practice but still there. Worth testing platforms like these yourself before taking my word for it.

Anyone comparing live dating apps for video chatting should start with how quickly reports get handled, not with feature lists. I stopped comparing feature lists on these apps and started comparing what the reply rate looks like after week one.
I ran two accounts side by side on platforms like these to be sure. The difference was smaller on platforms like these in day-to-day use but still there. Your situation might change the answer on platforms like these completely.

CindyR — that was my assumption too, and testing live dating apps for video chatting properly changed my mind.
For the apps in question I look at:
how platforms like these handles photo privacy
whether support for live dating apps answers at all
how many these apps accounts look dormant
Tested live dating apps in practice and the difference showed within days. I ran two accounts side by side on these apps to be sure. Ask if you want the specifics on the apps in question.
Datebie came up in another thread and the free tier held up.

Same as KatieM, except live dating apps for video chatting took considerably longer than a week for me.
Happy to go into more detail on apps of this type if that helps.

The thing that finally made live dating apps for video chatting make sense was realising you are choosing a userbase, not choosing an app. Things improved for me on these apps the moment I took what the reply rate looks like after week one seriously.
I kept a rough note of reply rates on apps of this type, which helped. I will update this if platforms like these shifts again.

RuthM is right about whether the userbase is active in your area, though I would add that live dating apps for video chatting still varies by platform. Two things matter for apps of this type: what the reply rate looks like after week one, and then patience.
The effect was more noticeable on apps of this type in practice than I expected. It took roughly three weeks before the pattern on live dating apps was clear. I will update this if live dating apps shifts again.
For a lighter-weight alternative I have had reasonable results with EZHookups.

Two years on app-led services and live dating apps for video chatting still catches me out.
What I check before committing to live dating:
whether the live dating userbase is real inside your radius
what live dating costs once the intro period ends
whether verification on platforms like these is enforced or merely offered
how quickly live dating removes reported profiles
I will update this if live dating apps for video chatting shifts again.
Comparing against DatingFly helped me see what the paywall was actually doing.
